No special lens, just added some post processing background blur for dramatic effect

I apologize....The Touareg is a great vehicle. I had a bad experience with Audi (actually the dealer), and I made some poor choices before coming back to Lexus. Lexus is not perfect either, but it has proven to me a better choice than the German cars I have owned. Please don't take what I said serious.

[QUOTE=NPSC303;8748223]While I will undoubtedly agree that Lexus' are by far the most reliable vehicles to be had. I will also say that I had "0" problems with my 2012 Touareg and the 2 high mileage passats that preceded it. The Touareg was also a blast to drive and being a diesel with over 400/lb ft of torque I was still getting 32+mpg!

The reason I like the GS so much is because it really "feels" like a german car.

Here's a few shots I took the other day...












Your GS is beautiful... Congrats...

Congrats on the Lexus.

Looks like it came off the showroom floor.

Are you in sales with Lexus at the Dayton dealership?

If so, PM me. I come up that way occasionally on bus and would like to drop by and test drive the 4th Gen 350.

The HUD is awfully rare ... what does it project on the windshield?

The 'HUD on the 15 Merc C300 only projects speed and a meaningless "dynamic" ring that circles the mph. The ring is nearly a full circle at higher speeds whereas the ring is only 1/4 or 1/8th of the circle at lower speeds. No rpm. Sorry, it's hard to describe. No nav directions. No radio info.

It displays radio info, speed, rpm, current gear, nav instructions, and Eco meter.
