Default Which do you prefer - 2015 F Sport body vs 2016 F Sport body

Do you guys prefer the 2015 F Sport body kit or the newly refreshed 2016 F Sport body kit?

I personally think the 2015 F Sport Body Kit looks a lot sexier but that's my own opinion haha : D

They are both the same shell with minor changes.

*front bumper (spindle grill) and headlights
*tail lights are the same size but designed differently
*New F sport wheels
*New F sport gauge ( inspired by the LFA )

Other than that, if you are willing to spend the extra 25-30k for the newer model go for it.

Don't get me wrong, I love both but I'd have to go with the 15. I sat in a 16 for the first time yesterday and didn't feel that special feeling I had when I bought my 15.

My vote goes to the 2016.

To me, pictures don't do the car justice, it looks really great in person Much more bad *** than the 2013-15, and it has made those models look old.
Some people wrap the grill on the older models to black it out; well on the '16 Lexus has kind of done it for you!

I think the new F-sport wheels on the'16 really look great too(again when you see the car in person).

The revised rear tail lights are more than just a clear cover; they are actually darkened out (like an overlay look) when you see them on at night.

Additionally, the LFA type gauges give the interior a high tech look.

I second everything that was said here.

I like them both, so I would just go with the best deal. I have a slight preference toward the pre-refresh design, but if I were looking now, I'd have no issue buying a 16+.

The '16 is a little too aggressive, looks like it just tries too hard to scream "look at me".

'15 F-sport is the perfect balance.


My preference:
'15 F-Sport > '16 Non F-sport > '16 F-sport > '15 Non F-sport

Overall still prefer the pre-refresh overall look. The design of the '16 f-sport wheels is spot on - feels exactly right for a sporty, luxurious look

I think an awesome combo would be the pre-refresh grille, with the new headlight and taillight designs and the '16 f-sport shoes.

They are both nice, but my 2015 original is more conservative, while the new 2016 facelift is more radical and eye catching.
I'd say the new E Class, and even the aging 5 Series lies somewhere in between the two.
