Default Rarest GS Combinations?

Hey, I've been looking for options for the future for when I decide to upgrade my GS. I love my GS, but my dream car is still a 2013-2015 Lexus GS 350. I want a Meteor Blue Mica with all the cool options, like HUD, Night View, Mark Levinson, and whatever else it comes with. I have a 2013 GS with the luxury package, but I love it and would like to look for a GS with all of the options I can get lol. I barely ever see the Meteor Blue Mica GS's, does anyone own one with every option or close to it?

So your dream car is the same model of GS you already have but just in another color?🤔...with some extra options?... Yea those options would be nice and new to you but after a few months I feel the excitement of something new would be gone and you wished you got the newer model or even better a GSF😲😃😃. I have a base model 15 GS with the only options being Navigation lighted door sills Lexus puddle lights and the dual payne front windows which all seem odd to have out of all the options.but if I was to upgrade it would be for a GSF for sure, the night vision would be cool to have though.

Those options are not very interesting or needed. Not sure they make the ‘dream’ list.

People usually tend to go with the middle of the path options vs a fully loaded out car.

You can find them but they also charge accordingly. Most GS will have nav, premium package, and maybe a few extras and that's about it.

Night vision, LKA, PCA, and rear heated seats are rare imo.

I just really love my car and do not see myself wanting to need another car other than a GS, so why not go for my dream spec? I love the car!

I find them interesting. Oh well.

My audio now sounds amazing, so I'm just curious about the upgrade?
Night vision is a gimmick, one I'd enjoy.
HUD would be useful imo.

hud displays speed, arrows/distance when you use the factory navigation, volume, radio.

when I changed my 2013 head unit to 2016 it no longer shows the volume numbers on the 12.3” display, but it pops up on the hud. With my driving position on the highway my hand covers my current speed, with hud it’s projected right in front of me.

Yes it’s not necessary but once you have it you find it useful and can’t own a car without it, at least for me.
