Thanks for the review





In Chicago I got to actually get all up in the new Lexus GS. The dark grey model on the floor was super sexy. This is by far the nicest looking Lexus sedan since the brand debuted. The lines are very smooth and masculine. Inside I found the design even more appealing. The doors have a very cool wedge of leather leading into the window controls. The tach could be a little nicer (the images of them didn’t turn out) and the area around the shifter seemed a bit plain, but otherwise the interior was very luxurious. Even the interior lighting had pinpoint effects. If I was shopping in this class and had to make a call between the Infiniti M, Acura RL, Audi A6, BMW 5 and this Lexus GS I’d have a tough time.

That is the first time I've seen the beige and darkwood together. That looks sensational, goodness that looks sporty. That is one beige interior I could rock. And that color, incredible color.

cool lighting

 

I noticed that too (the beige with the darkwood). I could have sworn that the brochure gave the impression that the darkwood/blackwood was only available with the gray/charcoal interior like in this pic from the brochure.



Or maybe the pics from AutoBlog are deceiving us. Maybe someone has more new info.

 

I agree with you. Maybe u can choose the wood with any color? That would be great.

 

I love that Nike swoosh wood piece!

 

No the wood is based on the interior color.... gray with black wood.... tan with brown wood ...and black with cherry.. but u guys are right - this vehicle looks SENSATIONAL ...DAMM!!!!! is that color the cypress pearl??? man whatever color that is - is incredibly beautiful...i think it looks better than the silver now... AHHHHHHH maybe the lighting is making us think it is black wood. right flip???

 

sorry..i meant the lighting is making us think that the interior color is tan....it must be ash - but looks tan in this picture.

 

No it in fact is the lighting - it makes it look tan guys. By the way, he said he set this dark gray GS up.... he set this up in chicago...so its at the auto show there???? When i went on the live webcam - i dont see the flint mica GS...all i see is the silver one.


Im having second thoughts about the silver one i ordered I like the flint mica now A LOT after seeing this pic...i did go to see it on the RX400 as flip pointed out and it looks really good on it..but for some reason i couldnt picture it right on the GS - i know i was a complete MORON....


Im sure the mercury metallic will look awesome too, just hope its nicer looking than the flitn mica I hope Im right.

 

It's actually Flint Mica w/Ash interior. The auditorium lighting and the color balance on the camera those pics were taken are way off...which makes the ash interior look beige.

Anyone notice the aftermarket Weather-Tech mats in there?

 

The lighting is way too off!

That Flint Mica looks like Cypress pearl. If Cypress pearl is going to look that hot I think I already have my new favorite combo

 

Looks good!! I have a feeling a lot of people would like to see black with blackwood.

BTW, am I the only one that's sick of all this "BLOG" stuff already. It is just gaining ground and already I can't stand it

 

Can anyone tell me if this car at the chicago auto show or photographed from some other event? If it is from chicago auto show...i cant see it on live webcam.

 

flossn....black with blackwood (aka birds eye black maple wood) is not going to be offered. The wood steering and shifter is only avaialable in 3 different colors and all three colors are only available with their respective interior colors. gray/charcoal iinterior gives you black wood.....beige interior gives you brown wood - and black interior gives you cherry - dark red wood.



But yes - if it was offered..i think everyonie would like to see black interior with the black wood.
