I went back and forth on getting a CL GS or not, and ended up not doing it because I didn't really want to commit to storm troopering my GS. But one of my coworkers has one and I still think it looks really good. Either way, as long as you're happy with your car then it doesn't matter what others think.

It does seem to have a love it hate it reaction on this forum. If you love it that's all that matters. Congrats. What is the build date on yours? Lexus isn't making that many of them, you might have got one of the last one off the line.

I like it... And love the stitching on the steering wheel. I came from Acura as well, they lost me with the TLX.

Car looks great.

Some Red Calipers would really set it off!

Definitely controversial... But as long as you like it, it's all it matters. GS in a way is controversial for different reasons. Congrats and welcome to CL. I wonder how it'd look with wrapping/painting the center of the bumper. I always think light colored f sport with dark/black center looks really nice.

I will add, back when I had my 2007 type s, it came with brembo front brakes, and the dust is exactly what I am experiencing with this car....I will be replacing my front brake pads soon to reduce the dust...

I too was a former TL owner, waiting to see if Acura could get the transmission (as well as a few other) issues resolved before I would get the TLX. I ended up with the GS and I'm so glad I made the switch. The GS is a much better fit for me!

the interior looks nice! Reminds me of the Black Edition option in the Nissan GTRs

I like the interior. The red/black with the Espresso wood looks really sharp. Lexus should offer that with Cabernet in the F Sport.
