For that much, you can probably get a GSF. I'm thinking the GS350 discounts will be less for the 2016 since dealers will probably be stocking up more on GS200t. The GS200t lease rate might be around what we pay right now, and the 2016 GS350 lease rate might be a little more than what we pay right now.

You're not going to get a GSF for that. With nothing down its not easy to get a fairly basic LS460 for that.

For nothing down, then for sure no GSF. I didn't know they were referring to nothing down since most dealers push for some kind of down payment.

GS-F is going to have a ~ $1,300 lease price...RC-F over $1,000 at first.

From those videos, it looks like Lexus added LED turn signals to both the front and rear in the refreshed GS. Adds a nice touch!

Acura was first to disappoint with their ugly beak, received a lot of negative feed back from North Americans and now Lexus follows suit ??
I couldn't agree more. That '16 grill / front end is atrocious. The 13-15 look is so much better & more Lexus worthy IMHO, hence that's why I bought a 13.

The 2016 Luxury model uses its own 19" wheels now with multi thin wire spoke styling.

Thanks guys. I may need to work with the dealer to see if they would add this to a new order. It may make or break the deal. I am still trying to decide whether to go with a GS, Corvette, or Camaro. The 350 and F Sport are within my price range but unfortunately the GSF is not. If it were this would be an easy decision.

They won't be able to order wheels that don't come with the package you want. Best bet is to buy the wheels after the fact.

I just hope all of these videos and photos with the upgraded headlights aren't just torturing us. It makes the front end look so ferocious.

Outside of the GS-F or GSh....USA is NOT getting tri-beam LEDs. It's Lexus...it's what they do.

The top LSS+ package ($1795) at lexus.com has something called "triple-beam headlamps". Is that something else? Or is it a mistake?

Is Premium LED Headlamps means tri-LEDs?

I think Lexus Canada gets the TRI-LEDs

When the '13 came out, people were calling the front end hideous too. That being said, the new front end is the reason I went with a 2013. Just hasn't grown on me yet, looks like the '13-15 GS350's evil twin from Bizarro world.
