Default Goodbye. Leaving Lexus Gs for 2016 Audi A7.

Goodbye everyone! I am turning in my 2013 Lexus GS F-Sport on Monday for a 2016 Audi A7 w/sports package. This car was awesome and I am looking forward to the new A7. I appreciate all the contirbution and comments on this forum. You guys are a great passionated bunch of owners compared to many other forums. Thats why I really had a great time with the car and online on this forum. Take care and I will be around if needed to answer any posts on the forum for the 4GS.

Well have fun with it! Audis can be great! Make sure they don't stick you with Goodyear tires! You'll be sorry if they do.

I have continentals on my 20 inch Audi rims so that should be much better then the crappy goodyears. I usually put Michelins on my car so no issues there.

Continentals. VERY good for 4 wheel drifts!

Congratulations! You are now the second Lexus owner that has left for an A7, and I traded my '13 GS F Sport for an S5. The A7 is a beautiful car.

Stay active on CL because we would all like to hear your impressions. I will still say emphatically that the GS F Sport was one of the best cars I've ever owned.

I'm back in my "Audi phase" for right now, but I'm anxiously awaiting the next generation of Lexuses.

And just remember... this is the best forum.

I hope you got the prestige package. That's the only way I would get any Audi!

There is a mild (really mild) refresh that just came out as a 2016. That means a few more years.

Nice! The A7 is tops on my list for next car. But it's too soon for me to trade in the GS.

Here are the pics of my new whip, the 2016 Audi A7 named Casper. He's a wonderful piece of machinery and simply outstanding in everything from ride, comfort, handling, braking, noise, features, and looks.

Welcome him.
