will someone remind why we are guessing what car he bought and why it is so important for us to guess. LOL Enough with the 8 year old guessing games... lets see the pics. This whole " bigger than a bread basket" thing is getting old.

HA!

So I was right, it's a GS450h. Awesome choice by the way, how you liking it so far?

By the way, Comcast does suck, they are the worst wideband internet provider I have ever used, always down like every other week.

As much as I want to say "congrats", I feel like the most appropriate thing is "I hate you".

Drive it to the meet tomorrow!

I knew beforehand that it was a GS450H...that's why I disqualified myself and didn't vote on the poll (in public).

The S5, while well-done inside, will not likely be as reliable as a GS.

No problem. Looked at the S5 but prices were where I would consider a bunch of other cars, from 911 turbos to M5s.... They are so beautiful to me, reason alone to purchase.

This car is serene and I drive it completely opposite as the old 400/430. I just cruise Thing is, the CVT and instant torque from the battery make it VERY tempting to punch it and it will move out its own pay. Passing power is incredible.

Comcast ftl. Funny I've driven it on the track and around town for a little while so I wasn't a stranger to it. That said it has passed my expectations.

So how does it "handle" when driving a little "aggressively".... Mr. Wishy Washy is curious...
