Hi All,
I picked up my GS AWD luxury last Friday and couldn't be happier. Also includes nav, blind spot, cold weather package, and park assist. Black exterior wifh flaxen interior. I live in southern Connecticut and since ordering the car 3 weeks ago I am yet to see another one on the road, still looking. Everywhere I look I see the BMW 535 or 528 and plenty of A6's. I looked at both of these cars and am so glad I am not part of the masses, although my wife has a 2010 a6.
A couple of oddities I've noticed with the car. Today it rained and with the auto wipers on when I shut off the car if the wiper was moving it would just stop right in the middle of the windshield once the power was off and stay there, anyone else have this?
Other things that bother me are not being able to delete the number of preset radio stations, have to have 36. Also while using nav it gives u time remaining to destination but not what time u arrive. My old es used to give u the time u arrive. Perhaps this is due to the analog clock?
Some wind noise on the drivers side on the highway but have not sat in the passages side while driving to see if it is out of the ordinary or not.
Other than that I love the car, kinda funny having 2 car seats in the back for the kids. My 4 year old loves controlling the radio from back there.
I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

2013 GS 350 F Sport
Flaxen Interior
Liquid Platinum
Traded 2006 GS 300 with 83K miles when while waiting for a oil change. The salesman,Tony Mullaney, at Nalley Lexus located in Smyrna GA was outstanding. This was the best experience I have ever had in negotiating a purchase for a new vehicle.
My only concern at this time with only 1,600 miles on the car is the mpg. The 2006 was averaging 22 to 24 mpg in town. I am at 19 to 20 mpg at this time. I guess the 2006 spoiled me.
