It's not like the 2017 IS needed a refresh, but Lexus made it even better for 2018. Check out the changes inside.

What total garbage click-bait."Headlights stretched out" "Distinctive Spindle Grill reshape", "new taillight design"

really?

"Curated Content Editor" this thread should be deleted.

What the heck? The cosmetic changes were in 2017! Maybe this article could have just been about the new engines?

Who "curates" this?

Sure, but my point was that if it is curated, it should be fact-checked.

That's why I pointed out his name.
This isn't the first time I ran into an article by Brett Foote that wasn't fact checked on Club Lexus. Probably won't be the last either. He looks like he knows nothing about Lexus vehicles and he just throws together articles for front page for alot of automotive web forums that's part of the network CL is on.
​​​​​​​
These "customer facing" articles available to the public to read that may come up on SEO searches makes this website look like a joke at times but I guess only a die-hard Lexus fan would only spot his mistakes
