Another one who like the new wheels (F Sport). Mine are BORING, but I don't want to drop several K into something I may not keep long term

 

The new wheels look great. Too much like the IS F Sport wheels IMO but I do like the design.

 

how come the video from japan shows the gs 350 f sport with led headlights but it doesn't look like we will get them in the U.S.?I didn't even see them in the option list on Lexus website when building a 16 f sport.Anyone know if that will change?Can the headlights from the gs f be swapped over easily to a 350 f sport?

 

Not feeling all that chrome up front. Think it's time for a little vinyl.

 

I like the wheels, and I'm starting to like the refreshed front end as well. (Taillights are a no brainer.) Lexus, don't make me come back!

 

No, I like the wheels!

 

I'm a fan of the rims as well. I like aggressive looking rims on sporty cars.

I actually like the GS F rims even more, especially with pained calipers: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ml#post9215910

Overall, the new look doesn't really bother me all that much, but I just wish the headlights were the bi-LED's (at a minimum!). At least make it an option for buyers.

Lexus is already behind in innovation on the interior (not having CarPlay or Android Auto is a major letdown!). They should have at least been an innovator in a smaller area, such as headlights. For reference, the BMW & Audi Laser headlight technology at CES 2015:
It's already offered in Europe, so I wouldn't be surprised seeing that technology in showroom vehicles within the next year after our regulators approve of it.

I assume you mean the premium triple LED lights found on the GS-F? These standard lights are bi-LED.

 

Sorry yardie876 - you've corrected me. I didn't realize the 2016 GS350 came with bi-LED's as standard. I kept thinking they were still using the HID as standard.

I was hoping that eventually Lexus would make the bi-LED's that the GS450h had as an option on the 2013+ models as a standard on the GS. I now see that LED headlights are standard, so I'm very happy in that sense!

I still feel that Lexus should be pushing the boundaries & striving to be an innovative leader in some way in stay competitive with the Germans (and other luxury vehicle manufacturers). Lighting was one small example that I gave.

Dont hold your breath. Our regulators are not changing its archaic laws anytime soon. Laser head lights and sequatial tail lights been around for a long time. And we still dont have it. This is NOT lexus fault but has everything to do with American laws dating back when Ford motor company first added head lights to its cars back when people still prefer riding on horse carriages.

To fix these ancient laws you and everyone you know should write or call your states representatives and senators and demand they do something about it. I have already written to my congressman but we need more people to do the same before they take us seriously.

 

the front end still hard to get used to

 

More pics! Does look better in these and in black

 

These vehicle needs to be seen in person to be appreciated. Like many have said before, the GS is not that photogenic...
