Default New GS 2015

Hello everyone:

I have been a forum member since 2010 with my IS250, i just traded it for a GS350. My IS had 206,000 miles and still going very strong.

I am sold on LEXUS so decided to get another one, hopefully this one will go all the way to 250,000 miles, currently it has 44,000 miles.

It is a Nebula gray with basic options, so far i love it. i wish it had less spokes on the stock wheels and that the beautiful calipers were painted from the factory.

i don't know why Lexus does not show off those awesome calipers.

This is a hell of a forum, keep up the good work.

Welcome to the "Kicks *** But Eats Gas" club.. I just bought my 15 GS about 6 months ago coming from an 04 Acura TL. I was looking at the GS for a couple of years until my trans started acting funny in the TL at 200k miles so went ahead and gave in. Mines Obsidian black with Flaxen interior, i was on the fence about the flaxen color in the beginning but have really grown to love it. I know the wheels you're referring to and was glad mine had the standard 18" wheels but have a dark tint look to them. Doesnt seem like there are alot of active members in the GS forum, but you also dont see GS's on the streets like you do the IS's. So it makes since when comparing active members in both forums that one would be larger than the other. If you have questions we have some very experienced GS members with alot of insight on this platform so hope to see your input on all things GS👍🏻.
