Default Traded my GS350 for this.......

I just traded my 2007 GS350 for this 2007 LS460. The car had half the mileage of my GS had , still has factory warranty so I can extend it through Lexus and its in great shape. We just had a baby girl and we need more room. As all GS owners know, the trunk in the GS is a joke. I could barely fit a bag and a stroller in the entire trunk. The LS has more room, luxury, and power and I am loving it.


sorry about the camera phone pic

Congratulations! Although I think you are going to have a much harder time photographic balloon reflections on this paintwork! For a white car I would suggest you switch from Zaino to Swissvax Glacier.

You're going to love the LS460. It's very plush. And the V8 with 8 speed auto is just sublime!

It would have been cheaper to get a fancier more compact stroller, no? :P

Theres an office close to where I live (and work), where TWO of the employees have LS600hs. I admire them as I walk through their parking area all the time. It even broke my heart when I saw one of them with a crushed bumper and one of the fog lights hanging out of it. :P

There are two other Lexus parked there on a regular basis as well, an ES350 and an HS250h. In my parking garage at home, there's an ES350 and a few IS250 (and a whole litter of various Audis and BMWs). No GS... I don't see the GS often in Toronto at all.

So if you keep up this trend, within a couple of years you'll be driving what... an LX? You can fit a few strollers in those right.

Congrats on the baby and car. I understand your concerns with the trunk, it is a joke. Luckily, we got the car when our son was old enough to use the smaller stroller, so it wasn't as much an issue.

If i had the opportunity, I would definitely trade-in the GS for a LS. Great upgrade. I look forward to seeing your mods and great pictures in the desert.
