I'm going to buy a new RC350 and was wondering if there is anything out there that shows what changes were done on the 2016 model. Wondering if I should buy now with the deals on the 2015's or hold out for a 2016.

 

I was also waiting for any changes for 2016, but to my disappointment, there are none. They only thing I have noticed is the in 2015, when you select the Luxury package, the 19" wheels came standard. In 2016, they are not and now you have to select 19" wheels as an option. Really strange.

 

^^^Yeah, besides minor option packaging changes, mechanically and visually identical to the '15.

 

If you're looking to get a RC350 F-Sport, the 2016 model now includes a mechanical limited slip differential.

 

I haven't actually been in a 16 yet, but reading through it looks like g force monitoring was added on the f sport package as well.

 

I thought that was only on the RC200t due to the turbo. Could be wrong but I have the g force graphic on my NX with the 2.0l turbo.

 

In addition to the capabilities of the multimedia display, the F SPORT model also gives you a view of exclusive performance data, including G-force and turbo-boost gauges. Standard On: RC 350 F SPORT, RC 200t F SPORT, RC 300 F SPORT

Orange Painted Brake Calipers (US)

Lexus Enform Service Connect available on 2016 models (US)

 

True. What a useless feature though.

 

Painted brake calipers.....Hahaha.

 

i have the 2016 RC300 F Sport, where's the G Force monitoring?

 

I am curious as well. Is it in the Multi-Information Display?

 

Not if you've mounted Go Pro cameras to your car and you're falling off a cliff... then it's very useful!

 

I can't stop laughing. Painted Brakes and G force Monitor - A must for every Lexus Driver

 

The 19" wheels were a mandatory option when ordering the luxury option in 2015. This seemed strange to me. Why sacrifice ride quality with luxury package? I ordered the luxury package and had the dealer change out the wheels to the 18" 5 spokes. (with credit of course). They fill out the wheel wells equally. I have no track plans and I felt the 5 spoke fit the character of the car better. Beside being in Minnesota, a little extra pothole protection is useful!

 

Useless or not...I wish they kept it on the 2015 model too. I'd like those colored calipers too as well if it weren't orange. Guess thats not a big deal after all.
