I agree with the poster above .. refreshed design with Lux package! lol
Only thing i'm missing is ML audio, triple beam LEDs and F-Sport appearance add-ons which I can always address down the road

Do you know if the GS or any other Lexus sedans were tested on the small overlap crash before they changed the front ends? I looked but couldn't find any data.
I'm currently shopping a 2015 so I'm curious as to how it would fare

so you can probably assume nothing was done for the 2015 year.
Camry was tested in 2014 and confirmed good small overlap score prior to the 2015 facelift. The year before that small overlap failed.

Help. I just totaled my 15' luxury package. I plan on replacing with another luxury package but what year? The 15 was as tight as a drum, however I heard the 16 and 17 were more plush. Do you think that would still apply to the luxury with the avs? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I have currently found around 6 from Shift up to L Certified.
Thank you

I have a 2013 that was Rock solid tight like your 2013. I just recently drove (2) 2017's F Sport and Lux. Make sure you drive them. I would be happy with any year, they all drive great in their own special way even different. I would have a harder time changing because I did not like the 8speed Trans so much. Felt like a CVT to me vs my 6speed. lol!

I have this in my 2013 450h, the controls/buttons are plug and play, the 2016+ head unit requires a bit of modification to retrofit, and the 2016+ screen is plug and play
However my GS is better technology wise than any stock GS because my car has wireless Apple Carplay that works without any issues. This alone makes it future proof technology/navigation wise for a long time.

I also would not want to set and drive at a car in front of me's pace. Why would I want to?

I have been thinking a lot of buying a GS 350, possibly the newer ones for better techs (e.g. blind spot monitoring, parking assist, etc).
But I hear that 2013-2015 models are the best for sportiness, while the latter ones (2016-) are more tilted toward luxuriousness. Is this true?
