Default PICS! GS460 at Dealer (Blk/Blk) and IS-F

Well left the Taste of Lexus Dallas and went to see the GS460 at the dealership. They have a black/black with Mark Levinson and Nav, but it was sold, so no test drive. I figure if they could keep the payments the same, I would pull the trigger on either a starfire pearl or a black w/black interior, if I like the way it drives, especially if I can get 380hp out of it. They're looking up the info for me, but here are some pics I snapped, including the window sticker. I snapped some pics and vids of the IS-F (Starfire Pearl) at Taste of Lexus also. If anyone wants to hear the IS-F revving, let me know, and I'll post it up. Hope you enjoy!

Jason

P.S. If you look at the window sticker, it does have the auxiliary port for a MP3 Player.















GS350 on the left, GS460 on the right.




Wheels aren't that bad looking anymore...they've grown on me

And if you care, IS-F


These seats already show some wear

Does it irk anyone else that you can get the same wheels on a 350 as you can on the 460? I loved that about my 430 when I got it.

the wheels on the 460 actually looked slightly different than those on the 350... from a distance it looks pretty similar though.

Not liking that ugly grill on the GS. The 2006-2007 were better.

Interesting, the new chrome grill looks hideous on a dark car but I really liked it on the light colored press photo cars.

Looks like chrome is making a comeback. GM, Mazda and Honda have been throwing on more chrome then I can remember during the past 25 years.

Nope. I would guess over 50% of the people on this site change wheels anyway and could care less what comes on the car stock.

Yup, more I looked at it, that grill on dark color car lookes hideous as ever.
By the way, GS350 AWD has new 17" wheel as well and I quite like it compare to 06-07 17" wheel. but not sure about that 18" new wheel.

how does that front end grill look in person ??? It looks quite out of balance in the pics. Those rims may look good in chrome !!

I like the side mirrors on the GS. I don't like that grill. Boy am I glad I have one now instead of waiting for the 08. That grill is a deal breaker.

I hate how the middle headlamps are nearly integrated into the grille.

Otherwise not bad.
