Is there much difference between 2015 and 2016 GS350 other then front end design?

There is: The most striking exterior differences are with the front end bumper/headlight design, new wheel designs and the rear tail lenses. Also no more fog lamps! Interior differences you'll notice in the way of an updated infotainment with full use of screen for maps, steering wheel/buttons/controls, wood trims, etc. Slight bump in hp for the GS 350 models with 3.5 V6 now rated at 311 hp.

If you can afford it, I recommend the 2016 model as the refreshed items really help polish up the 4th Generation GS. Personally, I wish I could have the full mapping feature on my '13.

There are quite a few more changes which you can read about here: http://pressroom.lexus.com/releases/...oduct+news.htm

Multiple safety features, such as Dynamic Cruise Control, Pre-collision System with Pedestrian Detection, and Lane Keep Assist, which were previously options were added as standard equipment in 2016.

Also the 2016 F sport gives you the TFT LCD display with gauges that move (just like in the IS350 f sport).

In 2016, the BSM and RCTA were standard. The Safety System+ (pre-collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning with steering assist, auto high beams, adaptive cruise control) was an option for $900 (not 100% sure about this price) and navigation with larger screen was an option for $1730.

In 2017+, the Safety System+ and navigation with larger screen became standard.

The Lexus web site says otherwise:

Wrong. It says it's available on the GS from model years 16 through 18. It does not state that it was made standard for those years. bb700092 was correct. It was not standard for 2016. It became standard 2017+

I have a 2016 GS 200T with Premium Package but without the Safety System+. It has BSM and RCTA but does not have pre-collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning with steering assist, auto high beams, adaptive cruise control. Someone with a 2016 GS 350 can confirm whether that is true for GS 350's as well.

By the way, Lexus routinely has incorrect information on their website. A base GS 200T comes with 225/50R17 tires with the option to upgrade to 235/45R18. Lexus website states that a base GS 200T comes with 235/50R17 tires with the option to upgrade to 235/45R18 (ref. http://www.lexus.com/models/GS/specifications). I pointed this out to two Lexus dealerships and Lexus corporate back in 2016 and they told me it was a typo (and gave me the attached document) but two years later they haven't fixed it!

I can tell you that my 2016 GS-350 does not have PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM with PEDESTRIAN DETECTION . I test drove some others that did not have it, as well.

Edit: It doesn't have Lane Departure, Vehicle Sway Warning, Intelligent High Beam, or Dynamic Cruise Control either.
