Yes, Car and Driver and cars.com were the two places I saw that said FWD had been discontinued. Although not infallible, I can't see them printing that information without some sort of verification. I'm not sure what source mcomer's info was from. He didn't say where it was from. I hope it's correct! ��

Car and Driver has a new article about '17 model year changes and is still asserting that FWD is dropped from both the 200t and the 300h. I have yet to see anything directly from Lexus.

Posting this here as well as there seems to be a couple threads about 2017 and FWD. This is what I put in the other thread.

Been a long time since I have been on Club Lexus. Left Lexus for Porsche. But just got my wife the new RX and just ordered a 2017 NX for my daughter. Got an F Sport with FWD. So not sure about the car mags saying AWD only. Also LED headlights come with auto on/ off now. Everything else looks to be the same. Will let ya'll know if anything else pops up.
