I have the red one. It reminded me of my G35 sedan.Yeah I think they are offered in red, silver, and black. I havent seen the LS models. I would pick one up. I think my next car will be the current generation LS

They do have a 2GS version. It's a 1998 GS400 in Silver & Black made by AutoArt.

They are 1/18 scale. Jada has the "Dub" versions if you're into that style. AutoArt makes them as they come from the factory...all stock.

Is the actual die-cast matador red GS430 really the matador red? Looks kinda pink/red-ish on the Lexus Collection website.

The girl working there said I could return the red one if I don't like it but then I noticed the receipt said "NO RETURNS ON SPECIAL ORDER." So I hope it really is red because otherwise I would've taken the silver to be safe.

Hot Wheels (or is it matchbox) has made a 3GS 430 99 cent die-cast. I have green, brown, white, red.

I also have bought two radio control GS 430 cars, one is black the other is purple.

Shall I post pics? I need to order the new large die-casts. I have a silver 2GS 430.

It's Matchbox. I got the beige and red one only. Hot Wheels only had a SC300 1:64 back in the day which I missed since I didn't like Lexus then. I've kept checking Hot Wheels and they have no new Lexus models.

I also got the black and purple RC cars too! They are by Nikko.

Definitely check out the Autoart 3GS die-casts! I just hope the one I special ordered is actually more red than the picture of it I saw.

I like the black 3GS, Derrick. I'd get that color if it was at the dealer. I did see the black one online for over $100.00 though.

I missed out on the Autoart 2GS. I heard it's pretty rare. When I did find one it was the Toyota Aristo version so I didn't get it... I wanted the one with the Lexus badging but I never found it.

i have checked their website. so I can tell you that there is black on black on 3GS diecast since black/black diecast will not look as good as real car.
