Default Going to see New GS on Monday but...

it is the worst color, Red, IMO. I just don't think this car will look good in red and I will not get a good sense of how much I like the exterior styling. See the Philly Auto Show Lexus Cam.

I prefer Flint Mica, Mercury Metallic, or the dark blue color. Hopefully, I will gain a lot more insight into my GS - Infniti M decision when I see both cars Monday. It seems many have been "WOWED" by each car, but few have said they have been "WOWED" by both.

Everybody I knows is excited about the Eagles and the Superbowl tomorrow. I am much more excited about going to the auto show Monday. I am just more of a car and baseball fan.

I agree bro...last yr when the superbowl was in houston (and i live in houston too )....i had seen the pictures of the GS and i think the GS excited me more than the superbowl...lol


hahahah but i will still watch it tomorrow and also - off course keep u wonderful guys here at CL posted if my dealer invited me to some other huge event =)



Flip...the matador red is "ok" ... i dont think a lot of ppl will be thrilled to buy the car in that color after they see it. i saw it in person and on the live philly webcam. have u seen it in person? ur thoughts?

I've seen it in person driving down the freeway on Thursday on my morning commute. I'm not too thrilled by the color since it has an orange bias.Some people will like it. It's a nice color for sure, but I've always been partial to Toyota's old Sunfire Red Pearl in comparison to Cinnabar Red and the new Matador.

Take loads of pictures at the angles you find best, and then make them black and white (you could do it in the camera or on the computer). Then your red GS will look graphite.

Hey, I like that color....to each his own, right?
Maybe I'm just getting sick of whites, greys, silvers, and blacks.
