Picked up over 4th of July weekend a '14 GS 350 w/ Navi. Sticker $52K. Did a 2 year lease: Paid $0 down, $0 first month, $380 per month (before tax) for 23 months. With tax, monthly payment is $415. How did I do?

1. 2013 GS (Premium Pkg, Cold Weather Pkg)
2. Liquid Platimum (aka Silver) / Black
3. Nav / No ML
4. AWD
5. No DRS
6. Already tinted, who knows what's next?
7. Consided Merceds E class, Replacing 2008 AWD GS350
Not sure why I considered going Mercedes. I'm glad I stuck with Lexus. Under unfortunate circumstances, this car replaced my 2008 AWD GS350 that was totaled in an accident (rear-ended from behind). I really wasn't fond of the the 4th gen. body, but it grew on me. I still have love for the 3rd gen. body though.
3 things I miss that was on my previous GS:
1. AFS
2. Automatic trunk close
3. Power folding mirrors

it's great, i love it.
pro's: I can read my txt messages now instead of just having the system dictate it to me while moving (i get messages in bosnian/croatian/vietnamese and the system totally butchers the words when it reads back to me) I have full access to the dial pad on the phone - handy when I need to punch in an extension, my passengers can watch DVD's on the move, I can punch in an address on the move.
con's: not really, but I have to press a button to unlock the full features - doing that temporarily disables the current NAV location. so lets say your moving and have the NAV programmed with a destination and you want go to read your text message, the NAV will pause and not move or show your moving at all the second you hit the button on the bypass unit and won't go back to your location till you finish reading the message and press the button again? make sense? it only takes a few seconds for the system to update to your current location after you press the button and disable the bypass. totally worth it. I would by it again and recommend it to anybody. if your ever in the OC you can check mine out.

Can someone please prior inputs or suggestions if it exist, an after market performance exhaust that will bump up HP and give a sweet sound for a 2014 Gs 350 awd fsport
Thank you,
Ben

10.5 rear
I am using Falken tires. 235/30/r22 in the front. I cant recall the exact size of the rear at the moment (I think 295/35/r22). The stock wheels are in my garage for safe keeping. I am not planning on keeping the GS for long. Therefore, I will trade the vehicle in with the stock wheels versus aftermarket.

Greetings from the Bay Area, California. A week ago, my wife and I picked up:
1. '14 GS 350
2. Color: Starfire Pearl/Flaxen
3. Nav /No ML
4. RWD
5. It's a Base model, so I don't think there is DRS
6. She won't have it longer than a couple of years. I think she wants the F-Sport next
7. Mercedes E350 Coupe and Lexus IS 350. Replaced: '12 Nissan Maxima
Contemplating getting the IS350 F-Sport AWD when my Evo lease is up in December.

Hi All -
Paid for my first Lexus today. It still had the shipping paint protectors and plastic coverings so no photos...yet. Scheduled to pick up this Friday.
1. GS F-Sport
2. Ultra White/Cabernet
3. Nav / Mark Levinson
4. AWD
5. Dynamic Rear Steer
6. Besides remote start, No Planned mods, but the husband is a tinkerer
7. We considered the Toyota Avalon (OMG-nasty), Acura TLX (not worth the wait - at all), Lexus ES (not sporty enough for the husband and no AWD) and Lexus LS (too much $$$)
This car is replacing a 2000 Nissan Maxima SE.
