Do you guys think the 2013-2015 GS looks outdated now because of the new refresh?

At least for me personally I think the '16 grille is over the top and won't age well at all. We will look back at this time and say what were they thinking. The '13-'15 were a bit more subtle I think. We are already seeing the gigantic grille era starting to change in a few models ('17 Volvo S90, '17 BMWs, new Alfas). I know it's strictly personal but I won't be replacing my '13 GS with another GS with that front end.

My take on the 4th Gen (13-15):
The FSport front end looks handsome, while the non FSport looks less handsome but still good. The back end of the two are the same, plus the wing on the F. The taillights look upscale and luxury, I like it better than the Gen 4.5 (16+). I still think clear lenses and black outs don't belong on a luxury car. Too JDM Civic-ish.
The Gen 4.5 (16+) looks weird and still not a love-at-first-sight to me like the 4th gen was when it came out back then. This is why it's so hard for me to let go of mine cause every time I look at it, I go.. Man! this car still looks great despite the age, especially after a good detailing and I like it even more.
No offense to Gen 4.5 owners as I do like the updated tech in the newer Gens. Just can't get over that gaping mouth on these new Lexus cars.

The new 16 GS looks gorgeous, however, I don't think the 13-15 models look outdated. I might be biased, they still look better than most cars on the road!

I have a 2013 Fsport which I don't feel looks dated because of the refresh. I love the exterior refresh both front and back, although I do think the new front is a tad long. To me the inside is what looks slightly dated, specifically the steering wheel and gauge cluster. I love the new Fsport gauges. They are very sporty with the right amount of flash. I don't like the new trend towards TFT displays.

I agree with some of the folks here, that the '13-'15 models would be perfect if it had the gauge clusters of the '16 models.
