Is it worth getting the 2017 just for the included LSS+ if you were planning on getting a base model without navigation? How well does it actually work? I'm mainly interested in the automatic cruise control. Thanks!

Had that cruise on a Mercedes and would not get it again. I found myself behind vehicles going under the speed limit with me right behind them.

I mainly interested in the lexus version of it since I saw bad reviews from other manufacturers. I'd be disappointed if I missed out on the deals going on now because I waited for a worthless feature (or something not quite there yet.

New feature for 2017 added to the Rear Cross Traffic Alert is automatic braking when a car is detected. 2016 only beeps and shows you which side the car is coming from.

Default Any 2017 out there?

Have you tried out this new feature on 2017?
Most significant changes:
More safety features and a GPS app that integrates a smartphone's navigation system into the RX are standard. The RX 350 F Sport model is available with front-wheel drive.

The site appears to be putting some bad redirects into the link.

Try going to it manually and you can get to the article. www(dot)cars(dot)com and then: /articles/2017-lexus-rx-whats-changed-1420690130290/

Anyone have updates on when the 2017 models are hitting the lots? Deciding whether I should wait or buy a 2016

They are already on the lots.
I was checking JM Lexus and they have quite a few units available.

Yeah, but they have "CD players," whatever those are.

Even the 2016 RX actually have it, but the main problem is U.S does now allow it! like the size is not meeting the requirement. (Not exactly sure about the law, you can double check for that). if you are in U.S, it will not going to show up. which it is sad for a lot people. My cousin got one in China RX 2016 and it has the sequential blinkers since last year.
