Default Got my first Third Gen GS!!! GS 450h!!!

After much debating on what car to get, 535i, SC430, etc, I finally settled on one car, GS 450h, my final decision came because of knowing valgs350, I loved his third gen GS 350 a lot.

I made the unfortunate decision in test driving the GS450h when I was just looking into the GS350 Don't get me wrong, but the GS350 is a fantastic vehicle, but to me the GS450h at first didn't seem that appealing considering the higher MSRP compared to the GS350, but one drive later, I loved the car inside and out and the additional price justified it.

I made my final decision today, a GS450h

-Mercury Metallic
-Black Interior w/Red Walnut Accent

Of course I got all the bells and whistles to go along with the car, it has the ML, Active Suspension, Pre-Collision system with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Nav, it pretty much has every option you can check from factory.

I will be receiving the car next weekend, I am glad to be on board CL, and I hope to meet more of you guys around the meets!

- Joseph

silver is the best color for the 08-09 GS, especially with the bird beak grille.

Awesome! I'm sure you will love it! The car is a blast! I wish my car came with APSSS! But at least I have a spare in return (but I still have to live with the god awful RFTs!).
