This front is HIDEOUS



Tails are a big upgrade over the current ones although i wish they were all red like the ones on LS.

Barf!!! In one word 'FUGLY'. Lexus should be ashamed of themselves for even letting that front end for the base/luxury model go into production! The F Sport has to look drastically different if they expect to move any 2016+ at all.

+1 for the OS firmware upgrade on the full screen Nav but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one

looks much better in this picture with new wheels, the NON F is now way more aggressive than pre facelift

I agree. The previous non F-Sport was totally forgettable. This may be controversial but it at least makes a statement (love it or hate it).

After reading all the 4GS and LX facelift threads on CL, i'm convinced when the 5LS concept bows in Tokyo in January followed by the real 5LS these forums are going to burn

The GS always looks better in person and so is the RC. Remember, these cars are not photogenic!

It looks like the turn signal is in the middle now. I don't really like cars with turn signals in the middle, the corners are better and more visible.

One of the angles I don't like is the long nose, and the negatively raked brake ducts from this angle:





As opposed to a shorter nose cone, and vertically raked braked ducts here:






However overall, I think the 2016 Refresh looks fine, and I think we'll all get used to it.

Longer nose = More scraping

I agree with that... I wonder how much longer the whole car is compared to the current body.
