Congrats on the 3IS, and wow, a GS as a loaner? I usually get an ES. You've been treated well and glad to know all rebates will be honored (not surprised).

Congrats bro! I am envious that you were able to get it today. I know we both were crossing our fingers for the rebates and hoping the car would come in time. Mine hasn't come yet, but the dealer said they "called in" to lock the rebates for me. I just hope that is the case when I pick up the car (approx mid Jan) and do the paperwork! If not, losing $1750 in rebates would kill me!

Congrats!! The bow would've been nice, but gotta love all the plastic covering. It's like opening a present. I'm looking forward to seeing yours with the fog lights installed.

Awesome man! Lexus is great to deal with, told you not to worry.

I got pictures with the bow but since they were at night every single pic came out fuzzy and so not worth sharing so don't feel bad about that.

i didn't see the PCS button on the steering wheel did you get that?
Yeah, I got all options available on F Sport RWD. I think the angle of the picture made it tough to see that. Below is another angle although it's blurry you can see the PCS button. For the rebate I think my call to Lexus Corporate helped. They opened a case and told me if I didn't get it call them back and they'll work something out. I appreciated hearing that.

Sony! We picked the same Obsidian/Rioja Red combo. Mine arrives at the end of this month. I'll be getting the PPE installed myself and Opti-Guard Pro done also.

Yeah, I was expecting something lower end as well and was just hoping for at least another IS as loaner. As good as the GS feels and drives, I'm looking forward to returning it and picking up my IS.

When I talked to Lexus Corporate I got the impression that they really wanted to help so if your dealer is working with them I think you'll get the rebates. Mid Jan isn't too far so hang tight!

Thank you. I'll try to post pictures with the LED Fog lights soon. Hopefully I can do it with cleaner looking car.

It's something that would have been nice to say you've had that especially with this being my first Lexus but being it after the holidays it probably wasn't happening anymore. I'm still happy to have the car.

I think Obsidian/Rioja Red is one of the popular combos on the F Sport. Today on the delivery truck to my dealer there were 3 Obsidian F Sports and 2 of them were Rioja Red interior. I considered possibly going with the black interior but I'm glad I chose the Rioja Red.

If I can get mine looking as striking as your obsidian I would be very happy!

Black/red combination is definitely my favorite so I had to go that route naturally...however living in Iowa I went with AWD...hopefully the RWD does what you need it to do in the winter unless this isn't your daily driver. Oh make sure you have the black floor mats with red stitching only the red interiors are getting those floor mats.
