I'm still confused about the headlights on the 2017 IS 350.
I've noticed that NetCarShow dot com shows the 2017 IS with the triple beam headlights but there is no mention in the pdf attached.
I also don't understand why we are only seeing the "single" round projector LED headlights, where are the "twin" round projector Xenon headlights for the non F sport model?

What is the color Nightfall Mica, is that the same as Deep Sea Blue Mica?
Where is gray interior color option?
Also I can't find the rear sunshade option.

So Lexus USA doesn't have the 2017 IS build it now up yet but I noticed they do have the 2017 GS and I see the new interior colors for the GS are the same for the IS.
Chateau Leather has a lot of tan/yellow tones
Flaxen Leather has orange tones
I see no more Status Gray Leather

This is terrible since my current car of 7 yrs is black interior and I really wanted to go with a Gray color and I don't like this Chateau or Flaxen color. That leaves red but I don't like the F Sport and want the non F Sport model. I hate when they make changes like this.

I might be wrong but I think all new Lexus cars since last year have LED headlights instead of Xenon headlights.

I had the same thought when I got my 350 last month. Should I wait for the '17 or just pick up the '16,,. I'm glad I didn't wait.

They do offer the triple beam on the GS.

There's just something *off* about the front end. I was thinking of scooping up a 2017 IS or RC so this actually makes the decision easier.

Net car show just updated their site for the 2017 IS they now have over 8 pages of photos when just last week it was only 2 pages. Some of the new photos are showing the triple headlights so something tells me it's going to be an option in the US.

hmm I see the GS and RC are now 2017 version but see no options for triple lights in either one.

You could get the 16 GS with the triple beams. It isn't new for 17.
