Default GS350 Joins the Family

Hi, everyone! I just adopted a GS350 yesterday after researching my next car for almost a year. The 2014 GS350 F-Sport AWD, with 24k miles in Ultra White with Cabernet, Nav,, and Cold Weather joins my Lexus family of a 2014 IS250 F-Sport and a 1998 ES300, which my be the best car to ever set tire on this earth (300k miles and NO REPAIRS!)

For the GS, my planned near term mods are a subtle lowering, black out of the front center bumper section, and roof black out.

When I saw and drove the GS, I was reminded of the first Chrysler 300M of the 50's- 60's, known then as the "Banker's Hot Rod". Being first a car guy and second a banker, the GS fits my needs perfectly; conservative style, understated elegance, and kick *** performance. I've put about 150 miles on the car since yesterday and well, I think I'm falling in love all over again. I look forward to resourcing this forum for making my GS uniquely mine.

Hi all,
new to the forum
I live in the United Kingdom and own a 2013 gs 450h fsport. By far the best car I have ever had but I would like it a little lower . Can't seem to find any uk based stockists of tanabe springs. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Perhaps someone shipping from the USA

many thanks

carl

Hi all. Not a first-time Lexus owner, but just traded in my ES 350 for a certified 2013 GS 350 F Sport AWD with 40k miles. I love hopping on here and seeing the pictures of everyone's rides. Always looking for mod ideas, but for know, loving it just the way it is!

Just picked up my first Lexus today, a '14 GS350. White, black leather, premium package.

Looking forward to the experience, but a bit sad to be losing the BMW it replaces - but not some of the extra costs...

Congrats, I switched from one too. I kinda miss it, especially the way it was modded but the GS is a much better car for me. Not to mention I don't have to worry all the time about expensive shop visits.

Default 2017 GS350 FSport RWD arriving in May!

This is my first post here, team. I've ordered a new GS350 and the ETA at the Port of NJ is May 8. I live in DC so I expect it a week or so after it arrives at the port. What's more, this is my first Lexus.
  • 2017
  • GS 350 F Sport
  • RWD
  • Ultra White
  • Roja Red interior
  • Pretty much all possible options - Rear steering, triple-beam headlights, Mark Levinson, power trunk opener, HUD, LSD etc.
I'm really looking forward to it and I'll post photos as soon as I can.

Nice. Congrats on your new ride.
Mind sharing pricing info?

Would certainly help other forum members looking to buy one in future

I really should not do that as I'm a Toyota Motor North America employee and we have access to unique discounts through the employee scheme. I'm not deliberately being evasive, it just would not be fair to the other forum members who are not TMNA employees. Hope you understand.
