Default 2016's rcf no triple eye headlights

There's at least 4-5 new listed 16's that don't have the triple eye headlights they have the rc350 headlights, disappointing why they moving in this direction? Msrp is $71,215

Were they possibly not equipped with the premium package? Lexus still advertising the triple beams for 2016 as part of this.. http://www.lexus.com/models/RCF/packages

That's the odd thing! If you go to the listings on autotrader then go to actual dealership website they have "premium package", so this is interesting

If it's only $71k msrp without any discounts yet, it's cheap and I don't think it'll come with it...

That's a rip off then. What makes it $79k MSRP? They placed a high markup price or other stuff that you may not need. Mine's $79k msrp with almost everything except all weather package and some extras.

Can you forward a link? I checked last night and every single listing for a '16 was using a stock photo and they all had the premium triple beams.

Being bored and caffeinated before work, I just called the Bridgewater dealership where the car is located and they're clueless. They said they don't have the dealer books for the '16s yet and they just got this first shipment in..

Cheap move by Lexus if this is the case, those triple beam headlights make the front of the car look awesome

MYSTERY SOLVED

According to Lexus corporate, the triple beams are now a specific add-on item and NOT included as part of any package. Same for some other models such as the RX350.

Lexus should update their website then. It still shows them included with the Premium Package.

The LED headlights define the car. I can't believe that dealer ordered them without.

honestly they probably didn't study the changes or was not aware. sometimes dealers have to order what they can and just bank on no changes for the model year. I've used to have the same issue and almost order cars blind with the exception of colors and so forth. and half the time its always a guess on what accessories are added at the port

Why would Lexus remove a new signature styling element from their cars?
I wish they had a creative director that made these decisions not some bean counters.

New GS refresh also has no triple beam headlights....

Its a small touch but makes the cars looks so much better.
