Hello everyone! Just picked up a 2015 Lexus GS 350 f sport in atomic silver with cabernet interior. My previous car was a 2012 Audi A6. Both are excellent cars but I feel like this is an overall upgrade as the only thing that I miss on the Audi is the supercharged V6 which had a little more torque. Otherwise, the driving dynamics on the GS are superior in every way and the ventillated seats were a HUGE upgrade. This forum allowed me to make an informed decision when leasing my new vehicle and my payment is now more than 100 dollars lower than the Audi.

Thanks again for all of your helpful posts. This is an excellent forum!!

Will post pictures when I get home and give it a wash---atomic silver looks different every time I see it...a few times I had to make sure it was really my car Also, I find myself putting this car in sport plus mode way too often--probably explains why i am getting 19-20 mpg

Congrats.

Sport+ and 19-20 mpg. Wow. I have a hard time getting anywhere close. But yes, the car sounds great at 3/4 throttle when at 3500 rpm and up in Sport +.
