Default Jumped in! Purchased a 09 GS450h

Hope they have the bugs worked out with the dying traction battery and other items with the third model year in the 09.

Just made an agreement to purchase a Starfire Pearl, low mileage loaded up GS 450h. Picking it up this weekend.

Coming from a loaded up 2005 Audi A6 4.2 V8 with 190,000+ trouble free miles. Going to miss the AWD and heated steering wheel, but going to love the cooled seats in the Lexus! Hope its as good as it's made out to be! Going to have to start scouring the forums to learn a few things I guess.

I might add that the wife has a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid with 110,000+ miles which has been great. With the exception of the crappy locked out Nav stuff. Hope the GS450h is not that locked down! That's kinda crazy!
