Depends... I've had both and prefer the '16

 

I love them both.

 

Can't go wrong with either one... they both stand out on the street

 

I have the older F sports and it's a head turner trust me, u can't go wrong with either one.

 

But I prefer the 16

 

I like the front styling(Yes, the gaping grill) of the 2016 more but I prefer the 2015 rear styling.

I ended up with a 2015 F-Sport due mainly to the special crafted line I found and the price was much more negotiable at the time when 2015 is going on and 2016 was already on the lot. If it wasn't for the crafted line, I would've gone with a 2016 model.

 

2016 is the first year that actually resembles the LF-GH concept that debuted back in 2011.

 

I prefer the F-sport grill (mesh) over the gaping parallel grill look, it gets worse in the 2016 model because at least the older models have the color bar to diffuse it a bit.

 

i don't agree. I don't care for the color bar on your car

 

I can see the radiator of your car right through that grill. No bueno

 

We all have our preferences guys. Don't take it too seriously.

 

Oh for sure! Just different styles. It is a pretty radiator tho...

 

I have a 2015 GS F-Sport in Ultra White and my observation on the 2016 refresh is that only certain colors look nice with the design changes made on the 2016.
In the 2016 model the only colors that bring out the design changes to its fullest are Atomic Silver, Molten Pearl and Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0

 

I prefer the newer grills, but don't care for the separate DRL's. I don't understand that from a design, manufacturing or production perspective at all.

 

I wonder if there is a way to swap out those separate LED's in the DRL for a tube-like LED like you see on the new Honda Accords. Now those are nice DRLs!
