Excuse me, French, translator.
I struggled to put, after 15 minutes, it's not so bad this calender.

While I don't hate it......I also don't love it enough to want one. I definitely like the current look better. However, I will withhold judgment until I see it in person. When I first saw pictures of the 3IS, I didn't like it and was sure that I was going to get the Q50. When I saw them both in person at the local auto show, I totally changed my mind and obviously own the Lexus.

Have they moved the heat/vent seats control button to the s/s+ ****?

Its alright, I didn't expect a major facelift since I think the current look is a real winner already. I do like the new added mesh to the front and the headlights look cooler. The rear of the current model looks alot more aggressive than this one.

Bigger screen and new headlights are good but sticking with the 2GR-FSE I see. How long are they going to use that damn thing? I was certain they would upgrade to the V6 in the GS. I know its only a paltry 5 hp though.

omg cant wait to order this car in 9 months!! now i wonder what the RC will look like when it is refreshed.... i would assume similar and hopefully it gets the 10.3 inch screen as well as the new remote touch interface instead of the track pad... its way to touchy in my step moms car.

don't get me wrong I like the current IS but I was kind of hoping for a major re-design and not a light refresh. im digging the diffuser and tail lights tho. looks more like the concept car.

Ugly L-shape boomerang tail light got carried over to IS front end now.

I have to see it in person. My first impression is that I like the headlights but the front bumper openings seem to be obnoxiously large now. Have to see it in person to find out if that's really how it looks. Rear looks OK...im not a big fan of the hidden tips as it seems more "old and luxurious" than "fun and sporty." Not a fan of the tail lights either. I think the tail lights being so big, needed a white area to break up all the red....now that the white is on the bottom, there's all this red stuck together which doesn't look as nice to me.

Not sure if it was mentioned but is Lexus introducing engine start/stop tech on this refreshed IS? What else could that button be by the TRAC and Snow button?

Does anyone here have an idea of when the 2017 models will be available?
