Well the day has finally arrived.

I eagerly watched the grand reveal of the new GS at pebble beach in August 2011, kept up to date with all your comments and experiences since February 2012 and placed my order in February 2012, the car is finally ready for collection tomorrow.

GS 450h f sport / Nebula Grey / Cabernet / Sunroof / ML

I will post some photo’s if I can work out how to although I am sure you have a pretty good idea what it looks like .lol and probably fed up with them by now.

Post photos! They may all look 99% the same, but it's still a unique car. And I don't think I've seen a lot of the 450h F-sports (not available in NA)

Lexus USA should have released the GS450 h F-Sport version as well......

Thanks for the video. Yeah, although I don't drive much, I wish we got the hybrid F-Sport. Particularly with the LED lights .

I am going to have to take it back to the dealership I think the odometer is not working correctly, its only 4 miles from the dealership to my house and by the time I got home it had 15 miles, I think I must have missed a turning somewhere and went the long way round..lol

Your first picture is one of the nicest I've seen of the Nebula Gray. That was my other choice (mine is Liquid Platinum) and many more pics like that and I will have to trade. I did get the Cabernet interior and love it. Beautiful car!

Nice nice.

P.S.
Btw



I noticed that your GS450h only has HID Bi-Xenon headlamps. Hmm.....shouldn't it be that all GS450h (4th generation) come with LED headlamps as standard equipment?
