I decided last night to get the F-Sport and they convinced me today when I went in by making me an incredible deal on one of the cars they had in stock. I had planned to get a base F-Sport, but they didn't have one. They gave me the loaded one in stock for the same price I had already been quoted.

2015 GS 350 F-Sport, Nebula Grey/Cabernet
Mark Levinson Audio, Park Assist, Blind Spot Monitor
MSRP $57,250

Can't wait to pick it up on Tuesday!

Congrats! You'll love it! You have excellent taste, but I may be biased since my car is in the exact same configuration

I'd personally get the F-Sport because the little extras make it so much nicer. Most of the lease deals are for F-Sports. I just lowered my F-Sport and the handling is just so much better!

Congrats! In case you're not aware, it also comes with rcta which is really nice. For some reason it's not listed on the spec sheet.

Congrats! The Cabernet interior, aluminum trim, more aggressive exterior and suspension tuning will be worth your investment. I loved mine!

Good call on the F-Sport; my mother loves her ultra white/cabernet '15 F-Sport!

Thanks everyone, I'm thrilled with it! The only thing I'm not pleased with is the Satellite Radio sounds AWFUL!!!

Anyway, here's a pic, I'll post a few more in the other thread

Well, yeah. Sirius XM has bandwidth limitations caused by cramming too many channels onto a narrow link; I've never been in a car where it sounded as good as a strong FM station. For music, Pandora, Apple Music or basically anything that comes through your phone is a much better option. For endless talk blather, it's fine.
