I'd need to see it in person, but I prefer the headlights for the zenki model.

Rear lights look great. A little white was all that was needed to spice it up. Fancy rear diffuser is surrounded by all cheap black plastic. Can't win em all.

Actually I like the old look of the rear, ours looks more aggressive from the back. The new look is more settled, which I do not prefer. The only thing I really like is the bigger screen ( which is a 100% improvement not a change).

"Graphite Black Glass Flak." That's a mouthful. Is this more of a gray or more of a black?

It looks great but nothing to cry over for those who bought 2016. That's why you mod your car a little and make it unique to your taste .

I think it looks pretty good. I like the white they added to the bottom of the taillight. As far as the aggressiveness of the new tailights is concerned I'm not so sure if it's more aggressiveness or less aggressive than the previous model. The swoopy feel of the lights makes it feel less so, but I'd have to see it in person. Definitely like the new headlights. The straight line bottom instead of the previous look is a plus for me. Is it me or is there an added hood line on the side that feeds into the headlight? Thank god for a bigger screen. I wish Lexus would upgrade their infotainment system though...

I like the changes....the large screen is nice but i think having the larger cup holder would be more useful.

I think the changes are just alright. In my opinion, I think the current version looks best. The downward slant on the "L" of the rear tail lights looks strange. Let's see what happens further down the road when the IS gets fully redesigned.

this is how the nav screen should have been when it debuted. Love the new taillight design and while I need to see it in person, I think I like the new headlights better

I like the changes. Probably going to wait on trading in my RC 350 until the new IS comes out. The RC sits to low for me and I'm having back issues so I'm going to have to trade it out early even though I love the car


I like the way the back looks with the rectangular muffler tips look on the new model

I'll be taking a diffuser (not sure fsport or regular, there is difference between two) for my car as soon as i can find a part number when the car is released. lol

and will look into retrofitting new stereo and 10" LCD monitor in a year when one of these crash and vulture it

everything else I can live without for now
