I got some mad stares as I went by a body shop the other day, and it's basically a stock Lux with tint. After a minute or so, I realized why they were staring at me so much -- the other owner had a GS F-sport. They were probably thinking the same thing as me, "whoah, another GS! And in Starfire Pearl, the best color ever! Stare....drool....stare....drool...."

I pass 30 ES for every GS I see around town. In fact, I can think of 3 other GS I've seen on the road in the last month, one of which is driven by a GS-starer.

In my travel from Houston to Sioux City the majority of Lexus' I saw were ES's and RX's. I actually saw more LS460's (3 standard,/1 L/1 F Sport) than I did GS350's (2 standard/1 F Sport, all in Texas)

I feel like this car is one of the lowest profile cars I've ever owned. No looks, stares, or attention from 5O. Even running F-Sport trim, I get almost no attention. My friends running Bimmers, Audi, or any thing sporty get sweated regularly.
Color may have something to do with it as well... I have a liquid platinum with no tint

I get a fair amount of attention and I have a stock fsport. Probably because there don't seem to be that many GS's in my area. I might see a few a week in a good week. Lots of ESs and RXs here!

All the time & then some especially with all the carbon fiber... I had a dude follow me to the gas station yesterday just to talk & ask questions about the car & im like dude come on it aint that serious, I can appreciate the sentiment but im a personal person & the $h*t gets annoying sometimes... Lately I just jump in the GX be out & leave the GS covered up @ the house.... Se La Vie....

The 4GS around here is a rare sight. I see maybe one other one a week, on average. In fact, today I finally saw my first '16 on the road.

I actually see a lot of GS's here in the Dallas area with maybe 5% being F Sports...however I enjoy looking at the car so it doesn't bother me at all

I'm guilty of doing that as well.
