Default Test drove it last night, brought it home tonight

Tonight I picked up a 2013 Liquid Platinum FSport with black interior.

My daughter's Acura died when she was driving back to school on Sunday, so I let her take my 2008 ES350 to school while I looked for a another car for her. Eventually we decided she could keep the ES and I'd get another car. Drove the M37x and while it was a good car, it was like a date with your sister … all the right parts but nothing exciting about it.

Last night on the way home from work, I stopped at my Lexus dealer, test drove a Luxury GS350AWD and then an FSport AWD. LOVED the FSport ! The way it drove, the seats, the looks. Just an exciting car. Went back at lunch today and did the deal.

After work, the salesman picked me up, brought me to the dealer, did the paperwork and I drove home (only stopping at one buddy's house to show it to him).

Only picture is it home in the garage, but everyone here knows what they look like anyway.

Had dinner, then joined Club Lexus.

what kind of car is the other? also just goes to show that salesman dont do anything magical, i never understood how salesman claim they can make any deal...bottom line is YOU went in you liked the car, You figured out if you could afford it and ultimately you signed the paper work , it was all in your hands never a stupid salesman...anyways nice catch.

Welcome! Why did you choose the F-Sport over the Luxury? Did it corner better, less body roll?

Nice color combo and you will enjoy the car it really brings the best out when driving. I'm also interested in the vehicle next to it.
