Trust me guys, its a lot better then the BMW 5 which you see every once in a while in a 528 version with those boring rims and simple headlights. That car makes me sleepy.

Mine is Nebula Gray. I am usually a silver or gray guy. I gave upon black cars years ago, they sure do look sexy when polished and clean, but its not worth the constant effort. Never been a fan of white cars either. So it was Nebula Gray for me.

Story of my life lol. I've had a couple of interactions with other GS owners in the past couple of months and all were pretty cool feeling except for this one grouch who looked at me like I stole the car. It was a good 10 seconds.

I have had a good number of compliments though. One memorable one is a guy in a minivan who wanted me to show him what it could do. So I did just that.

This thread seems to be a mutual support and admiration thread, and good for you guys that you're so excited about your F-Sports!

Not to burst your respective bubbles fellas, but not only F-Sport drivers get compliments. Mine is a premium with aftermarket 20s, and I get more compliments on this car than any other car I've ever owned, and I've only had my GS less than three months.

I didn't get an F-Sport because I didn't like the aluminum dashboard treatment, but love the natural looking wood in the Premium...and that's what I see every day when I'm behind the wheel. I think Lexus screwed up with this one.

I disagree. I like the aluminum as do many others. If people want wood, they can get it in the premium

I think all the entries in this class look good (E, 5-Series, M, A6, TL).

I think the best looking is either the F Sport or A6. Still waiting to check out an F Sport in person, all the others around here are pretty common.

No disrespect, but the looks (and dynamics) of the F Sport really transform the car, IMO.

I got a compliment once at Home Depot when I went to get mulch and the cashier told me she would give me the mulch for free if I gave her my car. Not many other compliments, but I have caught people on two separate occasions giving my GS the once over as I was walking to the car. I agree with the earlier poster who said the interior is pure $60k but the exterior is pretty generic Japanese. Whatever, I only see the inside when I drive the car and I really enjoy it.

I don't think I get many compliments because the silver that I have is more common. The Obsidian looks really tough and sporty, but I'll give up the compliments for all the maintenance that comes with keeping black paint looking good.

I still get the valets to park the car right up front at shows so I can be the first out, so I guess it does have some cred.

I feel like the tri-LED set-up of the GS450h and the front fascia of the F-Sport combine very well to make the GS look easily worth $60+ K and stand out from the usual mid-size luxury sport sedan crowd.

IMO, the GS + F-Sport front + tri-LED lights should have been the stock look. It looks super-aggressive and mean yet very high tech and high-class IMO :

Stew4HD

I like those headlights too and agree, that should be the F-Sport standard with the fog lights. I am surprised that the F-Sport does not come with fog lights.

I wonder which country those LEDs on the GS450h F Sport are standard. In the UK theyre not even on the GS450h Premier which is the top of the line model. Not even available as an option

Stew4HD

If I can order those lights, I will!

rlj4246

And options not available on f-sport.

Stew4HD

... my bubble is not burst.. is that a bad thing?

natnut

I know for a fact that Singapore, Japan, Australia and many European nations get the LEDs with the GS450h including the US. Except that the US doesn't get F-Sport availability with GS hybrid.

Many European video reviews of the GS hybrid shows the car with the tri-LEDs.

The GS hybrid without LEDs seems isolated to the UK.

modthispny

that 450h is sex.

wish we were able to get the led's as an option
