Personally the front of the 13-15 GS really has grown on me a lot, I find it quite handsome now.

Absolutely. I'm going to go ahead and say it; the only people who don't like the new GS are the ones who just got a 13-15 or are buried in one. The enhancements and refinements are fantastic.

Normally I agree with this statement when a new model comes out, but I can legitimately see why someone would prefer the styling of the 13-15 over the 16. I gotta say, I still do.

Inside the changes are great, but that new front end is polarizing.

I agree with SW15LS

I just bought a '15 for 2 reasons.
1.Great deal
2. I just do not like the new aggressive grills.


I think people need to be careful of reading minds.

Like someone earlier said...the 2013-2015MY GS had a polarizing look when first released, but now many people see it handsome and good-looking. I think the 2016+MY GS just needs some time to look good. I'm slowly starting to like it when seeing it in-person, in the right color and trim, and on the move.

Finally a commercial with the 2016 GS F-sport!

I remember the first time I laid eyes on the 4GS at the dealer. I had seen it in pictures and thought it was really radical and didn't care for it. Then I saw it at the dealer and thought "Hmm, this isn't so bad" walking around it a few times. About 10 months later I bought one and came to really like the way it looks.

I remember that I thought the ES looked better. Now I think the ES looks frumpy from a lot of angles but still like the GS.

the new front doesn't bother me at all...

the taillights are a huge improvement.... i wonder if they'll fit in 13-15?

Build is finally available for the new GS. Pricing for an F Sport fully loaded on a GS 200T is really close to the GS350

It's been up for almost 2 weeks. And yes, the price on the 200T F-sport is waaaaaay to close to the 350 F-sport price. Not sure the angle they're playing doing that...
