I love the updates to the 2016, they give the car much more presence. One of my favorite changes is how they finally put the unique gauge cluster in the F Sport.

Looks like they also changed the aluminum trim pattern. Not sure if I like it...but I'm definitely saddened that they replaced the Cabernet red leather with this Rioja red leather.

Yeah I don't know how I feel about the new aluminum pattern either. I know that I'm sad they replaced cabernet with the rioja red.

IMHO the F Sport with the F Sport gauges and the bright red seats is a little to boy racer for a $60k car. Even though my GS wasn't the F Sport, I could have seen myself in the F Sport. This interior however I couldn't see myself in.

Candy Red seats. Oh they went with the two-tone trend. Our Cabernet was all red with no black parts like that, except for the back of the front seats.

The cluster doesn't move like the IS/RC FSport ones. That sucks! The right side is only for temp and fuel gauges, unlike the RCF/GSF the right side is dedicated for the speedo, while the left shows in digital.

The shifter has less leather and the new pedals look ugly, I like my old one better.

The new diamond-back pattern aluminium looks too busy, and too scaly.
I think it was Hoovey who likes the new raised-hub steering wheel.

I'm amazed how often styling goes backwards, but I guess that's because styling is so "subjective"; what is beautiful to one person, may be unattractive in the eyes of another person...
