Mk2 Is200/300

[agalbraith]

I think all they can really do is make the IS the same quality (or better) as the GS, RX, LS and SC cars. Let's face it - the IS is still very much standard toyota inside.

I'd like to see:

- Decent quality leather seats

- A classier quality dashboard

- Quality trip computer (in the main binnacle, notably with avg fuel consumption, distance to empty, remote radio display, and the arrow display from the satnav)

- Auto locking on pull away

- Ability to only unlock the drivers door with the remote

- One touch deadlocking (why oh why did that go?!?!)

- Folding rear seats

- A range of alloys

- Heated seats with a bit more predictability to them

- Lumbar adjustment

- 5 year warranty

- Better paint

- A range of colours not available on a Yaris

I'd hate to lose:

- The motorised pop-up/high level satnav screen. It's *so* much easier to read than the low down one on the GS. It's also cool :P

- Folding mirrors. Where are they on the GS? I wouldn't get it in the garage without them.

- Central arm rest

- In dash CD changer (not the current model particularly, but the concept!)

- Good looks (not a nissan-esque blob, or toyota barge, or bmw/audi pretty but dull look)

- Decent standard equipment (I use the sunroof!)

- The chunky rotary a/c controls (my mates with the pretty Saab, BMW, Audi button controls all prefer mine)

I'm not all that fussed about:

- Memory seats

- Additional interior lighting

- Other interior colour schemes

- Diesel options

- Reach adjust steering wheel

- Dual zone aircon

.... just my humble opinions, obviously :D

- A range of alloys

nice list..

Just to correct you, there is already a range of alloys available.

Styling Kit 18" alloy wheels

17” Grandstand alloy wheels

18” Grand Prix alloy wheels

18” Chicane alloy wheels

17” Millennium alloy wheels

They are quite expensive though aren't they as you are buying them from the dealer in addition to the standard wheels supplied on the car rather than a factory fit option where you only pay for the set fitted.

i do like those chicane wheels

[Monster-Mat]

those wheels are actually supplied by TTE, but with Lexus centre caps

[Bazza-old]

i would like mirrors that fold ,after you have opened the door and seen its clear

or even work with the door locking :duh:

More performance definately, even from the standard 2 litre.

Mini disk seem very old technology now and have never really taken off. How about an MP3 compatible cd player, even a DAB tuner.

Steering wheels controls definately, and a trip computer!

Things like individual climate control they will probably always keep for the bigger models.

there will be a 5 speed automatic, no news on manual gearbox's as of yet

So its possible there could be no manual or just that whether its 5 or 6 speed is undecided? It would be mad not to have a manual they'd loose loads of sales.

Anyway...

I'd like an MP3 player with hard disk and wireless lan connection to upload tracks from my home pc.

I'll add these which I haven't seen in the list yet ;)

- Parking distance control front and rear as standard (maybe with cam).

- Side mirrors that tilt to the kerb when shifting in reverse.

- Keyless entry or a QUALITY ignition key, not a plasticy fragile Yaris thingy

- Boot hinges that don't crush your luggage (every other car manufacturer already makes that for what, over 10 years? Judging the latest Avensis they still won't bother :( )

- Min. 2 memory setups for seat, mirrors, steering tilt and reach (or a complimentary tall girlfriend :D )

- Satnav that can be operated (by co-pilot ;) when driving

Has anyone mentioned a device whereby all four doors lock when you start driving. A safety feature which unfortunately I have been thinking about recently.

I think Audi's have this device fitted.
