Torn on color between Liquid Platinum & Nebula Gray
Starfire Pearl is a distant third since my other vehicle is pearl white as well. I was all set to get LP but it seems that there are a lot of LP & SP. The Nebula Gray is growing on me and the one coming into my dealer in a day or two has the Mark Levinson sound system which I had in my 06 GS430 and loved. I want a color that's going to be easy to take care of and look pretty clean most of the time. I plan on keeping this car for at least 5 years (that's what I always say) so I want to have the right color.

Funny you mention that. I was just noticing how many silver cars there are on the road driving home from work today, like you said, seems like 80%.

I live in southern AZ, where it occasionally gets (very) warm. Here, I would go with white or silver.

F-SPORT should be::::: SP, RR, NG
LUXURY:::::: FAP, LP, NG, SATIN
BASE::::: LP, NG, FAP

I have had mostly white cars, 2 black cars and one charcoal grey. I have come to realize I like white the best, Charcoal was second favorite. It was amazing how the charcoal grey never looked dirty, white cleans up easiest and as many know black is a love hate when it comes to cleaning.
If I had to pick a grey in the GS, having no other choices, I would pick the grey that matches the rims of the F Sport so I guess thats the Nebula?

I was straddling the exact same fence a few weeks ago. NG vs LP. I was leaning towards NG since it seems more luxe to me. I let my wife be the final say since I couldnt make up my mind and she basically told me when she owned a silver car, she felt like every other car on the road was a silver car. She said NG or SP. We ended up with NG and love it.

F-Sport. The SP was very nice on the one I saw at a different dealer. Actually, surprisingly better looking in person. The red with the grey wheels is a nice looking combo too.

First, remind yourself that you can't really lose, and there are really no bad colors. Maybe I'm the odd one out favoring the silver. Lexus tends to use low key colors, but they look better on Lexus than other cars. Look at Lexus white and compare it to other whites, and there's a certain elegant sheen. I haven't yet seen a silver GS in person, but I suspect the trend will continue. That said, my test drive was a gray one, and it looked sharp. You could roll dice and get a good color; my focus tends to be more getting the feature set. If you're accustomed to Mark Levinson audio, you may want to splurge for it again, or at least test the regular audio at a dealership, with a CD as well as various quality mp3 sources. (I thought about a CD with everything from an iTunes copy of the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", to an artist-sanctioned bootleg of Abney Park's acoustic set at Dragon*Con, recorded analog off YouTube.)
