i agree and that's one reason i haven't purchase 2015 yet, if no different on 2016 then i'll go with 2015 to save $

i doubt that. the gsf is getting the same mouse with extra button, i don't see how the facelift would get the pad

i remember in 08 when the 3gs got the facelift, no one saw the changes until like a month or so before MY switch

Went to NY Auto Show today and ofcourse the Lexus "presenters" are useless.

No final pricing on GSF - although the rep said it will be around $75k.

No details at all on the GS refresh for 2016.
If the engine gets updated - this will replace my 535i almost definitely.
BTW GSF looks even better in person!

Man I asked the lady the same question and she said it will be close to the RC-F which I highly doubt. If that's true than sign me up cause I will grab one but I think it will be closer to $80K. After seeing it close up I found I didn't like the lights nor the front grill, I hope they fix that and make it closer to the GS look now with a full spindle like the IS. The interior though had me drooling like Homer Simpson over donuts!

Didn't know that! As you can tell I haven't been following the GS-F all that closely

That's how the real GS F is going to look right? I don't think they're going to change anything now.

I'm still kinda on the fence about the GSF styling. I personally like the grille on the current F-sport more, but this new grille looks better in the rendering of the 2016 F-sport on the first page. Don't like the angles of the grille, especially where it juts out. I kinda like the new tail lights. The headlights look a bit iffy to me, but they'll probably look better in person. I wonder if interior is already set. Not a big fan of alcantara, and I wonder if they'll have a full-leather option. That show car doesn't seem to have many adjustments for the seat, especially compared to our seats. Kinda glad they didn't bring the trackpad, but I think it probably because it doesn't work too well with the 12-inch screen. The new RX also doesn't have the trackpad and it also has our large screen.

Let me try to finish your sentence
I was at the dealer and looked at the rc/rc f sport again. I saw it on the road before and thought it looked good. Up close and personal... not as nice. Rc f is helped with the nice lights imo. It wont look good if they carry the headlights over IMO. After that visit I don't have high hope in the refresh anymore. Will most likely get a different car.

I need to start saving my pennies. . Seriously though these are great drivers cars but I dont find them attractive for their price tags. If I got a German it would be 5 M Sport. I think it looks good and fairly priced.
