So i would get a 2014, since it would be a cheaper cars soon as a 2015 comes out . I guess.

i mean i have a 2014 GSR Leather etc. And i have all the above if i read it right what the 2015 GSR will get. Except the rain sensor wipers. Which is a great. I dont like the rain sensor wipers neither a speed sensor ones.
So far, there's no real word on any "special edition" swan song model.

What the articles aren't saying is about the Recaros.
Word has it that they can't fit 2015 spec airbags in a Recaro, so the 2015 won't have Recaros.
(The Feds once again "fixing" things that ain't broke, until the "fixes" break them.)

I'd like the side bolsters to be adjustable, but even the 2014 airbags precluded that.
(My '88 ST-165 had power adjustable side bolsters and lumbar support. Even Bimmers don't have seats that nice, these days.)
(A pity the FIA chased all the ricers out of WRC. Those Celica GT-Fours were nice machines.)

On the EVO X, I don't mind the rain sensing wipers, as the sensor doesn't add all that much clutter to the area behind the light sensing rear-view mirror by the GPS antenna.

But if you have a parking (or handicap) hang tag designed to sit on a "regular" mirror stalk, you'll have to get innovative.
I had to place a tie-wrap loosely around the mirror stalk and wire bundle to clip my parking tag onto.
(I don't like to leave it there, as it reduces visibility. So I clip it on when going into the parking garage, and stuff it in the armrest otherwise.)

The rotating wiper "adjustment" doesn't seem to do much, though.
And I miss the ability to get a single manual wipe from pulling the stalk.
I find I can get a single wipe by just twisting the adjustment once and back, but that takes your hand off the wheel, where the pull didn't.
