2013 GS Launch Event @ Longo Lexus - Feb 08, 2012..

Did anyone make it to the 2013 GS Launch event at Longo Lexus last night ???

If you did, post some pics and/or impressions..!!

In the hour I was there I saw at least 2-3 GS's get sold on the spot... And driven off by the new owners...

This Black GS350 F-Sport was truly a beauty.... Congrats to the new owner..!!!

It was purchased right off the showroom floor.. Literally..!!

It was a Great Event put on by Longo Lexus in El Monte, Ca..

Thank You Longo Lexus!!

I like that they had "Corporate Cars" for test driving....

So none of the new inventory was being used for the Driving part of the Event... (i think)

Hi Joe,
I drove home on I-10 straight to LA fitness on Rosemeand and just passed the peck exit - missed the event last night. God damn it ! Anyway, I need to stop by on this weekend for a test drive GS350-F sport. Do you know if they have any for just a test drive? I'm still debating between a 2011/2012 ISF vs 2013 GS350-F. I need an update fun for wkend car.

Actually they were actually Longo inventory cars they were test driving, not corporate ones. All the cars that were being test driven had Monroneys on the window.

All their F Sports are sold out for now so its probably unlikely you will get a chance to test drive one. Inventory comes often so they may have more soon. My contact there is Elise Fong. She's sold many cars to CL members for many years. Just do a search and you will see.

She's a fleet manager as well. Good luck!

Thanks for the clarification ..

I know I saw at least a few GS's with the Corp. plates (parked and/or leaving).
But I didn't get a chance to hop into the test drive units at the event..

Hurry up and post your pics & impressions..!!!
