About to trade in my 09 GS350 :(, for an F Sport RX, pics before she's de-moded!
This is my 3rd GS, had all generations and slightly moded, but have a baby on the way, only love the car's look with the wheel and suspension set up, but want the smooth Lexus drive/feel back too. I was almost going to switch brands to the MDX for my expense-able vehicle as my area service dept screwed me, and absolutely love my work car which is an Acura, but seen and drove the RX F Sport and so did the wife, and it changed my mind. Since I haven't been too active on here since my 2nd, gen, posting some pics in a sad way, as it is hard for me to get rid of my vehicles, I get too attached .

Thanks guys on both, I didn't sign on the RX yet but have the deal in writing. Leasing for the first time, pocketing a reasonable amount of cash, payment doesn't really change, we are losing the wife's payment, makes sense for the my write offs, and leaves me some cash to mess w one of my other vehicles. I just hope I am getting a good deal, and I got them to give me some decent $$$ for the gs.

We have a 2 year old , and my gs430 was there from the beginning. We even bought my little munckin from the hospital a week after sandy in our gs.
It's not bad, it's not great but no bad at all. Sure an sub would be great but we are not suv people .
I hit rx as a loaner. It was ok . Huge inside. But to me it looks too soft. It could never be the primary vehicle.
Still the best in class I think,with reliability unmatched by other SUVs .
Good luck

Congrats on both new ones....lol
It sucks to have to lose your car...I have a 2 and a 4 year old that still ride in my GS at times. I had mine before either of them got here too and they still have room in the back. The hardest part was just trying to fit the stroller and bags in that small trunk. When the second one was on its way we ended up getting a '11 QX...love everything about it...except the refueling...lol and now my kids don't want to ride with me in the GS anymore...

Baby seats
I am sure the baby seat would go just fine in the back, trunk space lmao, just with the 20s and lowered suspension, the baby might get whiplash. I put the stock wheels on it a couple days ago and it rides great, almost forget the Lexus feel. If I could drive a nice *** car like this for work I would just keep it, as is but am a real estate appraiser, in Chicagos ghettos often, so even if I still had my clean 2nd Gen GS I'd get looked at funny or shot at for it lol. I'm bonding with it for another day at least, ha, the RX FSport came in yest, but still negotiating, so GS might stay around if they play the # game with me again at all. W the biz and fam only need one car payment, getting the wife out of her upside down scenario that I had no part in. Not sure what I am going to do with the pretty decent check ur will get back from it as I am leasing the RX, might put it into my TBird SC, get that right, or buy another car after a while, like I need another one, but maybe find a clean 2nd generation GS to cruise for cheap, could actually find a 06-07 w what I'm getting back, we'll see.
