Default New 16 GS350 Owner from Middle East

Hi Guys

I'm a hidden member here since 2011 , thought I would register and be a part of Lexus GS family.

2 months ago I have made a decision to buy The face-lifted 2016 Lexus GS350 Premium, coming from an SUV (2013 Mercedes ML500). All i can say is this Lexus rides way better than my Mercedes, but only downside is the power, V8 Biturbo(with a tune) vs V6 naturally aspirated. All and all, I'm happy with the purchase.

Thought I would share some pics.













Got some cool shot of it too.

Congrats on the purchase! I see the figs are on with the DRLs only. It's amazing how many subtle differences there are between the different markets.

Lexus dealers in America are really suck. They never land this type of car in their lot. Not everyone likes F-sport. That's why GS sales are low this years.

Thanks all for your comments. As for the photo, Yes I took it with Sony A6000. Regarding the dealer, we used to get the non triple LED's, but dealer has received too much complaints and also reduced in sales. Now almost all premium models get them LED's as standard except the GS200t which can be ordered as an option.
