WOW - Beautiful.

I agree, I think the GS350 is going to sell well. The old GS300 was just too underpowered compared to the competition. This new one is not only great looking (like the old one) but is quick too. VERY NICE!

Default A few more - from Blackhawk Plaza...

...the upscale surroundings that the car deserves - with the Blackhawk Grille in the background.






My friend just bought a Black-on-Black 2006 Mercedes CLS500 AMG, and she was floored by the GS350 when I showed it to her yesterday. She didn't know about the 3GS at all, and couldn't believe Lexus makes a car so comparable to hers. I like her CLS, too, It's my favorite Mercedes by far - I'm just glad I didn't have to pay that much.

[QUOTE=RandalR;2126780]I paid $49,993. I may eventually go to a wheel exchange place and get chrome OEM wheels, but not right away. As I said, these are a lot shinier than they look in a digital photo.

Fully loaded for $50K and blacker than black... is there really a way to get blacker than black? Like blackhole black?

Nice car, I wouldn't chrome the wheels, would look too toyish.

Lexus of Concord. Leo Knowles was my salesman. They had to request the color combo in their 9/1/06 allocation, which meant I had to wait almost three weeks to get it.

When I first took the test drive they had just gotten their first allocation of four - but the Obsidian car I drove had an Ash interior, which I didn't care for. Now they've got a whole bunch of them sitting around - ten or more.
