I prefer the tri-circular LED headlights...a la the GSh.

They screwed up. It needed to resemble the LF-Gh.

The only thing that killed the LF GH is the tiny side mirrors. Like what the hell!!! Can't they at least put some mirrors on there like the LF LC.

The LF-Gh in 4 short years has finally influenced the entire Lexus line with the Spindle and as they initially eased into it with the MY13 GS, here it fully implements with MY16. Exciting!

They are not mirrors, they are cameras.

Probably with wider angles to reduce blindspot.

However, they can't actually do them for real because of regulations requiring an actual mirror.

True dat... plus it's the best shape of the spindle grille--hands down.

So with the news on the front page of a turbo 5.0L in the new LC... anybody think it'll end up in the GSF?

No. The GS-F has the motor from the RC-F. It's a done deal.

Would be pretty awesome if GS got a refresh in 2017 or 2018 with this twin turbo motor.

The original article in Chinese claiming that the 5.0L Turbo drives a 10 speed gearbox sounds a bit far fetched to me; because a 10 speed gearbox is heavier, has more friction, and more gear change losses, than what it would gain in efficiency.

At the rate Lexus moves the next one could be a while. They bring out new engines about as often as Haleys Comet flys by. The time it's taking to get the GSF to market is painful.

They technically haven't brought out a new engine lol The GS-F has an updated IS-F motor...
