Wow, you should have gotten a F-Sport hybrid out there and a regular F-Sport, so you have a taste of both flavors. Just curious.....Why!

well the GS is my DD and i do like my have some fun when i drive
already have a RX450h and the CVT is good
but on a GS which is a sport platform the CVT just ruins the FUN
and how can you say no to the 8 Speed! u cant!! lol

I thought the overseas models (in F Sport trim) got the multiple projector LED's. Is that only on the Luxury or other trims? Could have sworn at least the Japanese F Sport got those.

Kdm models dont get it
in japan
all models can be optioned up
With the audms
only the 350 sports luxury (top grade)
And the 450h f sport is option and 450h luxury
but i am planing to do the light swap

Ok was just curious, glad you didn't take it the wrong way. The GS is truly a fun car and everyday I sit in it I love the sound and the feel.

nah never mate
its a good question
i was tossing up between the 450h and 350 for months
the 450h made perfect sense for me as i have a ISF as a weekender
but in the end my Heart won over my Head

This is interesting. I haven't compared the GS450h F-Sport vs the GS350 8 speed F-Sport directly as yet but I assume you have from your comments. Can you go more in detail about your test drive experience with the GS450h F-Sport and compare that with the 8 speed GS350 F-Sport? Was it the CVT alone that you found lacking or was the increased weight of the GS450h also very noticeable?

its not the performance that matters
its the way the car drives that is the point here
the 450h is fast extra weight is pretty much unnoticeable as it very minimal
but the extra power and the CVT which is smooth and has no power loss is a big plus
But the reason why i chose the 350 over the 450h (even though the power and lower fuel consumption)
is the whole driving experience
i prefer multiple forward gears compared to one
