How do feel with the latest IS update?
My wife owns a 2016 IS200T and 17s have been out. Kinda glad we got the 16 over the 17, not feeling the new update. Not hating on 17 and up just not feeling it. Thoughts?

The facelift is objective. Some people will like the look of the 16s more than the 17s and vice versa. However, no one can deny that the 17s have better features, like the bigger screen. Like yourself, I like the look of the 16' more, but would love it if I had that bigger screen. I think Lexus held out on us just to put the bigger screen on the refresh model.

But back to the original comment, I l like the 16 model more than the refreshed 17 as well. Like davy said, the front end is just not appealing.

I like the 17s better than the 16s to be honest. The headlights were a little weird with their bubbles. Interior is nicer slightly too, with the hand rest thing looking more like it belongs than on the 16 which felt almost like an afterthought.
But I'm biased. I have a 17 haha

I think the '17s look better also. The new headlights are cleaner, and the grill shape is very nice. Even the non F Sport looks good (the old non F Sports were bland imo)

I prefer the 14-16 front bumper, head and tail lights. They're just more masculine somehow, which I like. I also like that the 14-16 has a spot for an easy oem foglight addition, which I've done.
I do however prefer the interior tweaks, larger display, and the rear diffuser on the 17...which is why I updated my center console to a 17 one, and got an aftermarket diffuser.
I may try to upgrade to the larger display in the future, if I can find a good deal on the parts. But the 7" is perfectly adequate (that's what she said).
All the information you want is there and plenty easy to read and navigate through.

Any chances of a detuned version of the TT V6 from the LS500 making its way to the IS350 for the 4th gen?

Naturally, when I heard of Lexus coming out with its own TT V6, I am hoping that they're being forced to make a move because of what Infiniti has done and what the Germans have been doing for so long.
