So the update/face-lift might be over two years away? Dang...

Last year they started making the 15's on May 7th for delivery in June, but that news came out on March 24th.

People here took delivery of their series blue in July:

Ordering for 2015's didn't start till the 3rd week of October here in New England:

You could order a Aurora in Canada in April, and get it in June:

So what does this all mean? No one knows when the 2016's are coming out, but I'd guess later rather than sooner...
maybe fall??

I refuse to admit any of this and call you a liar

Simply because I don't want to wait that long. But well done. I'm on mobile or else I would look it up, but haven't they announced the 16s for Japan and such? Not the catfish looking one but another release with little to no significant difference. I could be wrong but I could have sworn I saw that floating around somewhere.

Do you remember where you read that? I was under the impression that the only performance change with the my15 was the updated suspension. Can anyone confirm ?

Yeah, it was in the "catfish" CB thread. 2 new colors and 8 speakers instead of 6, but no USDM timeline or dates.

I keep thinking every day when i check into the forum that today is the day that the news will be released

You and me both. I'm killing myself trying to decide if I want to go ahead and pull the trigger or not.

The dip isn't as bad as some make it out to be! Yes it is there and looks horrid on paper but in reality you should be through it in about 2 seconds if you drive right. Don't know what these "I drove for miles and it just would not speed up" guys are doing but it has never affected me. I drove a 13, my 14 and a 15 back to back when the 15s came out and there was zero difference between them as far as performance goes.

They have got too release some official info soon as they will be turning up at port any time now. Don't expect big things though.

Perhaps some ppl just don't know when to shift. Before E85 and exhaust I generally kept the engine well over 5k during acceleration

It's the same.

I have XaCar Magazine from japan that detail all the changes they made for D series. (2015) Moto Miwa post part of it on his facebook or instagram.

Ya, that is an age old debate on here. To tell the truth with my DD if I hadn't read about the dip I probably would never even have noticed it. Bought the car with full intentions of going fi to deal with this horrible dip and after just a couple of days thought "meh, not so bad, I can live with this"

Just before my house I have a very slow corner onto a hill with a straight. To fast for first and to slow for second. Its is dip city at that rpm+hill. Other than that spot every day I dont notice it much

Same here, without it being pointed out I probably would have never noticed. Either way it doesn't really bother me.
