Damn, sounds like they're better. Also seen on gs F and you know that car gets everything better than RC F (HUD), but don't got the styling of a 2 door coupe!

Is the ML system with 6 CD/DVD in dash changer offered on MY 2015, or is that something they added on the 2016's?

JoeZ,

Where did you get that TRD Start/Stop Button? I can use that for my RCF, right?

Yes there is one specific for the 2014 IS350... It will work on the RC 350 / RC F application as well.


Hit up Nigel JDM Parts..!!

Nope. Doubt the 2016 is any different, but you'll have to wait until an actual owner confirms that.

As far as the pedals, I like the 2015 better. They're the best I've ever seen, aftermarket or stock. And that includes the super wide dead pedal that no other car has. The new ones are not bad looking, but much prefer the old ones. The only thing I prefer from the new car is the exhaust tips. Would have been pissed off if an electronic parking brake was offered, but was relieved to still see the minivan pedal. Oh, and better tranny tuning would be welcome... as long as it's retrofittable to us 2015 owners.

In a sudden reversal, triple beam "L" headlights now added BACK WITH the premium and performance package.

Carbon spoiler now included with premium package or offered as a separate option.

The website is hosed..

The Carbon Fiber Wing is missing from the Performance Package details..
It's incorrectly placed into the Premium Package details, as well as the re-listed "PREMIUM TRIPLE-BEAM LED HEADLAMPS"

They at least have the right 2016 lowerd price of $3,240
Down from $4,400 on the 2015.

Both headlamps are LED "L"-shaped headlamps

The vendor Lexus is using for the site is "F" ing it up

See post #65 & #74 for better clarification... Too bad Lexus isn't paying me to find all these ERRORS

The cars arriving on the showroom floor don't lie...

Has anyone been able to find out if there were changes that impact how the car drives?

ECU remap? In particular the transmission. I've heard the GS F has shifts better and was wondering if those changes made their way into the RC F.
