I would at least wait to see the non GS-F Refresh before I pulled the trigger at this point. It should be any time we'll get pictures.

Thank you for ur valuable inputs. I have been search for a 2015 non F-Sport for the last couple of weeks in Starefire Pearl white with flaxen interior color combo. There is only one currently avail in Southern Cali, but this car seem to have to many people test drove already. It is in a near triple digit miles on the clock, and my wife did like that ideas.
I have this Internet Sale Manager helps to search for one. He was able to locate one, but it is still in Japan and he can do a H trade with other dealer. It won't be here for another 5 weeks at least. I test drove once and noticed the Navi screen is not capable of changing into a full screen. We drove once and like this car.
This will be a keeper ride for my wife for a while. We can wait and get newest things from the mid cycle refresh. She drives abt 6k miles annually for the last couple of years on her 2009 ES350 with 53k plus miles on the clock currently.
OP, my apologize for hijacking ur post.

Hey is it really possible to get under $500/mo for a fully loaded FSport with really zero down?
I mean $500 is already in the Avalon territory and ur getting a car that's a Zillion times better. I thought the GS leases were crazy last year but it keeps getting better.

$515 all in with no money down is an *excellent* lease. As stated above, you won't match that on the 2016 model.
I recently pulled the trigger on a lease, and while I knew about the '16 refresh, it didn't stop me. If I was purchasing and holding on to the car for 5-6 years, I might have waited for the 2016. As dchar said well, if you lease now, the refreshed GS will have attractive lease rates when you're current lease is ending.
A great resource to evaluate leases can be found at leaseguide.com. For $20, you get access to lots of resources to evaluate leases, understand what to do at the end of a lease, etc. Well worth it.

I'm not overly concerned about the minor cosmetic changes, but rather if Lexus will implement the LFA gauges in the 2016. That would ultimately drive me crazy because the current gauge cluster looks pretty dated (no offense anybody).

Seems like to me it's only natural they will utilize the digital gage cluster in the 2016 GS f sport as they do in about all of the other new f sport models. Would love to have it in mine. Loved it in the IS I drove when deciding whether to get a GS or IS.

The original 2013 & facelifted ES looks like this - just to give a very rough idea of what the facelifted 2016 GS will look like:
Wider mouth with full chrome surround, and metallic finished horizontal full one-piece grill over the mid bumper area.
Not sure if the new L-shaped brake lights flow well with the wrap around portion of the tail lights, from a rear quarter angle?
New 3-spoke steering wheel, and rather than old Z-gate there is a new T-bar transmission bag?

I pulled the trigger!!!! The dealer called me with a deal I couldn't pass. White on black F Sport totally loaded with ML and all the bells and whistles. 36 months 0 drive off 10k miles per year for $496 per month including tax.

Oh yes the new ES looks good! Are they coming out with the new ES FSport too?
$496 a month I'll take two of them!! Damn these leases are dirt cheap now.. Maybe 2016's leases will be in the $300s next.
