What's up guys & gals,

I've been long time lurker on this forum and last week I picked up a 2015 Lexus GS 350 F Sport after driving a 2009 Acura TL SHAWD for the last 4 years. Ideally, I wanted to be loyal to the Acura brand, but they've lost me with the lack the of enticing products I their lineup. The GS is an amazing ride in so many ways. Pics below.

Congratulations I left Acura also their new lineup with the paws is a joke in my opinion. You'll enjoy the GS and the thrill.

Congrats on your purchase. I traded in an Acura for my GS F Sport as well. Who would have predicted a decade ago that Lexus would have more appealing performance cars than Acura?

Congrats on the new ride !! Which trim package did you choose?

I'm another Acura TL owner that really wanted to stay with Acura, but alas they neutered their line-up which resulted in a change over to Lexus.

I like my Lexus, I just hope I like it as much in 10 years as I did the Acura
