Hum......two 2016s with factory triples (even though that's not supposed to be an option for 2016) show up within a couple weeks of each other.....Both in Texas.....
Where is Lexus Headquarters? Hmmm..... special Lexus corporate employee perk???? Special only Texas Dealers could order? And now those cars are getting traded/coming off lease????
Hi MOB561!
For the most part 2016+ are the same but the group has been tracking some tiny minor obscure changes that, for the most part, many people might not even care about...like the grocery bag hook in the trunk being removed in I think 2018, the negative battery terminal cover also going away in 2018 or 2019, and the USB cover in the console disappearing in the 2020. So be aware....if you really like that USB cover in your 2018 you'll have to do without if you get a 2020....No discussion yet on whether or not its an easy mod if you really have to have it!
My 18 has the negative cover, USB cover and bag hook.

I'll go back and reread that thread and update.....the OP had a 2019 but I thought someone with a 2018 had reported it was missing...

Ports are there, just the cover is missing. You have 2 USB? When did that change? I have 1 USB, 1 Audio In, 1 Power. (actually 2 USB - see more info in post below)

Reason: corrected usb number
I’m pretty sure my 19 had two ports. I believe this began in 18.
Here is my current one.
Ok....I"m batting a thousand today/yesterday...... I swore I only had one and I swore I only saw one when I looked this weekend...but I just went and double checked...I have two. But I also have a cover And I also keep a little duster brush in my console Although I need to find another one...this one has been crap but it was the only one I could find as Covid was starting...
It's funny how photo will catch something differently - at first I was thinking when I saw your photo that they angled it and mine was flat but no....mine's angled too...
PS - there was a phrase someone had on here - it was something like "looking for Zebras where horses are more likely" I think I'm obsessing with looking for Zebras
By the way, I'm a LS cult member as you can tell, but your new GS speaks volumes. Did they do away with the Atomic Silver color? If not, personally I think I would've waited on one, it's an eye catcher. You can't beat the deal you've gotten though. GL.
Love the first mod. The first time I drove my '15 GS F sport to a friend's house, he opened his garage while carrying his drill. Walked up to my car, and took off the plate. Handed it to me and said "It *****ing looks stupid". After the first parking ticket for not having a front plate (which I hate very much), I had to put it back. But I still laugh when thinking of what he did. Afterward, he checked out my new car at the time.

The entire GS has been done away with, so what's out there is all that is left. But the one I bought is indeed Atomic Silver.

LOL...I've been lucky with this so far, and I hope my luck continues as I don't want to roll with a front plate.
My 2015 GS was Atomic Silver and I loved it. When my lease was up and I decided to purchase another GS, I really wanted another Atomic Silver but chose Smokey Granite Mica as I figured that, if I'm getting the same car, I ought to at least get a different color.
While my 19 GS was awesome, and SGM is a beautiful color, I kept getting envious when I saw other GSs around in Atomic Silver.
Today I rectified that.
Traded in my 19 for a 20. Exactly the same car other than the color. I got a reasonable discount on the 2020 which, combined with the current 0% financing, meant I basically kept the same payment but will have this one paid off earlier than had I kept the 19.
It feels great to have AS again!
