return of the 18 lux pakage wheels, interesting. I wonder if the 19's got too many ride quality complaints?

I'm glad I ordered a 2015 GS F Sport in Obsidian/Cabernet earlier in the week at a good price. Will pick it up Monday. Don't like the 2016 front end very much although I suppose you could get used to it.

Are we looking at the same car?

It clearly would require the whole front bumper, grill and headlights.

How are your 19" going?
I'm beginning to feel they are a bit too firm for me.
Good looking, but bit too firm for me.

Not a fan whatsoever. I'll take our 2015's front end all day long!

I have the 2014 lux package 18 wheels. They have grown on me, style wise, still think they are a little too "busy" for me. I'm not a huge fan of any of the 4gs wheel options.

I bet in person it will be even better, sometimes photos expose more or less exaggeration.
I think this is the best the GS has ever looked barring the 2nd Generation GS. Even better that it finally looks like the concept car.

Knowing what the GS-F looks like, it's hard for me to like the lower trim levels of the 2016 redesign.

Best thing about this refresh is F SPORT exclusive color = Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0

Still no fogs on Fsport....I do like the taillight update

I think the Fsport with mesh grill and the optional 3 LED Headlamps in USB color will look good.

I like the Blue 2.0 color but I don't like it on the GSF. The white GSF looks way better to me. It looks good on the older IS and it's a mixed feelings on RC to me. Maybe the GS body style is not a really good match for that color.
