Ohh umm.. when will the modding begin?
After seeing your previous cars, I can't imagine you will be driving this one stock.

Yes yes, we all said that in the beginning....
Anyway, enjoy the car. Lexus really did an awesome job this time, especially when you compare it to the 3GS. I'm just glad we got an OG back in the 4GS, too bad Mike left, but that's a different story.

OP sorry , did not mean to hijack your thread! Hopefully you'll switch back to Lexus someday, get refreshed RC-F maybe? For now enjoy the S5, she is a beauty!

This will be great to see which one you get. I think its time to post a couple pics of that NSX! and I'm also in for what mods you decide to get. I started with the 13 GS saying that and I never listened to what I said cause I modded like crazy!

Ahhh I agree, we need some pics!

I've gone about it the opposite way. I got the daily GS first, and next up is the NSX.

I appreciate the comparison for the audi. I did have a slight thought about gettting the A5 (not S5), but after the SC400, I wanted a sedan.

I had a GS300 and looooooved that car. I was too poor at the time to get a 400

I totally skipped the whole L-finesse era, particularly the GS
Just did nothing for me but did give me a chance to play with an SC and an NSX. Maybe I have to thank lexus for that

Going a little OT too here.
Wow, you got a new GS also? So cat is out of the bag now?

At first, the front didn't wow me (only because lexus wimped out on the full spindle grill for the GS and gave it to the IS.).

Now, it's growing on me and I love it.
For this GS, there has never been a car that even my wife loves to drive, come home and say how "awesome" it is and still have a grin on her face.

Default My 2015 Atomic Silver GS350

really nothing special here but since few people asked in another thread, i don't want to hijack the other thread so here we go

as i mentioned in the other thread, decided to retire the nsx. it's a great car but seriously it's not the easiest car to drive as a daily. now i can fully understand why exotic cars try to run together. visibility gets really bad when driving the nsx in regular traffic. with my seating position not even above the belt line of most other cars around, there is no way i can see past the car in front of me or traffic around, and people either can't see me or they just keep staring at my car, not good either way at all... this gets worse when it's dark outside and especially in rain. the mist completely "consumes" my car, i can't see anything at all and people run into my lane...

so after some close encounters, plus the fact that nsx keep appreciating in price, we decided to put the nsx as weekend car. few choices out there to consider, but with great contacts with lexus dealerships, ended up leasing the gs350 again. my third gs, previously 98 gs400 and 08 gs350. learned that atomic silver is new for 2015 and it's quite an interesting color, so we decided on it

so far enjoying the car, new tech and much more relaxing drive

oh and yes, so far i will continue to say this car is staying stock i don't even know what mods are out there hahaha

and people are asking about my nsx. here's a thread i have in car chat. car hasn't been updated much, just added the nsx-r spoiler and exhaust (stock is boring)

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/car...-an-acura.html

here's a pic of my totally stock gs

i will later move posts from the other thread here and reply accordingly. don't want to do it now since those posts will then precede this post because of timestamps.

Nice car, congrats!

On a side note...NSX has only 290HP Having a hard time believing that !

Still rememember seeing one when I was really young, seemed like a mythical beast that many people spoke about but none have seen....
