I'm thinking as more leased 2017s hit the market 2016 prices may drop some, which interests me if 2016's are otherwise identical to their 2016 counterparts.

No real difference between the 2016-2020 GS, other than they dropped the Luxury trim after 2017. So by looking at 2016 you double your chances to find a Luxury package (if you're into that).

If you want those features and are looking at 2016s, an easy way to tell if it has them is by seeing if there is a camera mounted at the top of the windshield behind the rearview mirror. If the camera is there, it has all of the safety features.

And as @OUT FOX EM mentioned, go for the Luxury package, unless you're looking for an F-Sport. I'd get one for that leather wrapped airbag on the steering wheel alone... & maybe those 18-way seats too.
