God damn it, I just bought a 16' 350FSPORT, 4 months ago. Now, its getting a mid-refresh? WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME.
My first car, 2012 Mazda 6, the following next year, boom complete refresh.

Just got my 2016 is350 in Nov of 2015 LOL. If its a drastic change the 2015 is250 I leased maybe traded in for the 2017 model is350. Hope it looks way diff in that case. LOL Having two is350's is pretty dumb but may look at the GS

That bumper is FUGLY!!
It's design is more inline with the GS-F and RC-F though, as they have the larger air intakes for cooling..
The headlights don't match the teaser pic in my opinion either.. The ones on the pic look like a hybrid of the teaser and the current lights..
I think that picture is a very good photoshop/concept picture.. The lights in the teaser look far better..
As for those worried about your car loosing value because of the refreshl, don't.. These cars are selling used close to the original sale price in my next of the woods, in some cases, for the same amount. Even refreshes have their own bugs and issues.

Not sure if this is relevant or anything, but I was messing around with the URL and found this....
