Thanks, yeah I got it through car broker who's able to get nice deals on certain vehicles. Bad news is that i'm at his mercy for delivery and the delivery date has been pushed to tomorrow.

All in all, probably not a bad thing since i'm swamped at work today anyway.

Well the GS was delivered yesterday afternoon, and I've already put about 150 miles on it in well under 24 hours. I'm really enjoying the car so far. I like that I can feel a distinct difference between all the different driving modes. Haven't even tried ECO, probably never will either.

Mark Levenson system is great. Certainly one of the better factory systems I've listened too. My outgoing 2006 IS had the base pioneer system which wasn't bad but I can clearly hear more in the upper range with the ML.

I like the fact Lexus at least partially pulled their head out of their *** and now displays caller ID info on the screen even while in motion. In my IS it would only say "incoming call" if I was driving, forcing me to hunt for my phone and look at it if I wanted to know who was calling.

Absolutely love the interior of the car, more so than the exterior. Fit & finish is exceptional, and I just feel like I'm being pampered when I'm in the driver seat with it's level of comfort and tech at my disposal.

Exterior of the car is also very attractive, except for maybe the rear end which isn't unique enough from the ES IMO. I used to be all about black cars but made the switch to white for the GS and I think it was a good call, especially with the dark graphite rims. Things like the smoked headlight lenses, grill, area around the brake cooling ducts, all "pop" out a lot more.

Power plant is one area where it could really use a boost. I knew this going into it, but driving it around reaffirms my beliefs. On the up side, you can take a lot of curves flat out and the chassis just does it's thing without a care in the world. On the other hand, I would love more straight line speed and passing power at my disposal. Hopefully this one void is something the GSF will fill before long.

It's time you posted a picture or two. Congrats. I too think that's a good deal. Quite a few of us looked at the 5s too but we ended up here for one or a few reasons. Enjoy your new ride.

PS: The rear will grow on you. It's my favorite part now. A few months later you will be able to spot a GS from an ES miles away.

Congrats! What color interior again?

I too love the duality of the car. In "Normal" mode is glides along like every other Lexus I've ever had, but then in "Sport S+" it really turns it into a great handling car.

Love the F Sport in white!

Black interior. I need to clean her up and snap a few photos

White on black is very sharp...
