Default 2016's

I was told by SoCal Lexus dealer they are getting the 2016 allocation this month. They'll have pricing, lease rates, etc at that time. Deliveries will begin in Oct/Nov.

Do they know what it looks like? No leaked pics so I'm guessing nothing's changed.

Maybe they're delaying the Gen 4.5 GS for 2017/18.

No, they said pretty much what has been said here: cosmetic changes.

Yes, a mid-life refresh/update.

Now we all have seen the GSF (which im thinking about purchasing in 2017ish but don't tell my fiance ) & looking @ the RCF & the RC350 F-Sport spindle grills, we have an idea of what Lexus might do in the regards of a face lift, but im more curious about engine tweaks, tech & interior changes as well as possible new colors, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY PLEASE LEAK SO INFO/PICS ALREADY!!!!!!!

I just hope they ditch the headlights for full LEDs. It's 2015 for chrissakes.

Seeing that we haven't seen any pics, and we have seen the ES pics I'm starting to wonder if theres going to be a facelift for 2016...

That's what I'm saying. Maybe it'll be the same as 2015, especially since the 2015 has many upgraded features/options already from the 2013/14.

The LS is overdue for a redesign too.

It's entirely possible that the GSF might have the new look for a model year or 2 to help distinguish it a bit, then the GS will finally get it (possibly with an engine update?). Not to mention, seems to be a busy year for Lexus.

Lexus is updating a lot of cars for the 16MY: IS ("new" engine choices), ES (facelift), GSF, RC ("new" engine choice), and RX (full redesign)

"New" = 2.0L turbo-4 option in IS RWD and RC, and detuned 3.5L V6 in IS AWD

Interesting that yesterday Lexus released their official press release for the slightly revised CT and the official specs on the IS200t and the IS300

I think that's a huge mistake for Lexus. Such a competitive segment.

Yep but if you look around right now though it's still an overall winner IMO. That thing still looks hot and priced well esp. in ultra white It's still OK to release the refresh next year IMO.

I agree for now, but we're going to have a new 5, new E and a refreshed A6...
