Hameed - thanks for the pics. I lightened the first one. 
I guess that's two 8.5x11 sheets of paper showing distance from front to back?

Congrats on the cool ride! I really want one but they're not planning to bring the 450 h to the Middle East - and an import is too risky 'cause they won't know how to service it.
I was wondering how this new car feels when compared with your GS300 - especially the ride - is it bumpier than the 300 (I believe you are now on 18's)? Does the interior rattle & creak whenever you hit bumps? I was hoping that they would have sorted this out by now...
Does it feel any more stable when taking corners fast? Does it feel nose-heavy?
What is it like in stop-go traffic - are the breaks easy to modulate? What's it like overtaking? On paper it looks great, but i'd really like to hear your perspective as a GS300 owner...
Tell us about that Gen 5 NAV

models w/out **** option has a miniscule spare... i would love to have a 450h if the trunk wasn't so small. i dare say it's less usefull than a stock supra in a midsize lux sedan.

I so wanna trade my GS350 for the 450h. Just for the better gasmilage. Yeah yeah, I know in th elong run its only a few $100's less in gas. But its just me. Just boy, that trunk shrinks to something next to nothing with those batteries. hehe

gas milege bah, trade it in for the AAAS and the quiet ride with instant passing capabilities with no shifting...
might not be an even trade... you might need a few more bucks depending on the options..... but worth it in the end in my mind.

Beautiful Car ... Wish I would have seen those Pic's last month when I was trying to decide on the color scheme I wanted.
Would have been a no brainer after I saw those pic's (ha).
