Oh nice, I did not know Lexus had motions LED's. I can tell you that the one I saw in the showroom did not have motion as it was solid.

I normally don't like motion turn signals like those found in the mustangs but Lexus somehow made it look pretty nice.

Great news. Willing to share your source for that info. My dealer here has no info on when they will get them. Maybe he just can't share.

Audi already put those turn signals into production in the new A4/S4. The fronts aren't as smooth as this Lexus though.

No U.S. RX has the fancy turn signals.

The IS facelift is growing on me, but overall the car is still obnoxious and busy. At least the headlights are better integrated.

Title of this thread needs change to "facelift," not redesign.

I agree, Lexus color palette falls too much into 'neon' colors. I wish they had some colors that were non-metallic, for example Porsche's Miami blue.

This Lexus promo reminds me of the short-films that BMW produces.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. I find even the 2014-2016 non-F more attractive than the new front fascia. The lack of tri-beam headlights solidified this refresh as a flop for me. Aside from the rear diffuser and minor interior changes, I think the rest isn't as attractive as the current styling.
