The deal was alright, I did a 3 year lease to keep payments down and told them where I wanted to be monthly payment wise.
My plan is to get the NEXT IS-F (hopefully coupe) or the new Lexus coupe coming out in 2014 when my lease is up in 2015. If if Lexus does not deliver, there will be PLENTY of other amazing cars to choose from come 2015. That new Jag F-Type should be pretty nasty too (conv in 2013 and coupe in 2014).
We shall see though- I might keep this if some serious power mods come along soon.

Thanks! I'm surprised they don't build the DRS on F-Sport as a standard feature, seems like a must have just for the F sport badge. The one I test drove didn't have DRS and it was already an amazing ride, I couldn't imagine how it would be with DRS and I'm really anxious to find out

First in my country
Chai here (x838nwy)
Picked up my GS450h on Friday. White + bamboo + saddle tan.
Totally impressed with everything. What is surprising is the acceleration - i drove a panameara s hybrid (briefly) and i'd say thr gs only really loses out that first sceond off the line (perhaps the cvt has something to do with it). But i am super happy with it - except for a couple of marks on the console (around the "srs airbag" sign on the passenger side) which i only found today. My dealer says they're sure it's cleanable but have also assured me the marks WILL disappear. Must wait and see...
Sorry for the lack of pics, on my iphone only till Monday...
Sorry also for the dirt on it. Just got venture shield so can't wash it for a few days....

1. F-Sport
2. Starfire Pearl / Flaxen
3. Nav / Mark Levinson
4. RWD
5. Dynamic Rear Steer , HUD, BSM, Intuitive Park Assist
6. No planned mods...yet
7. Looked at an '09 M6 Convertible, replaced an '06 GS 300
Picked her up Father's day weekend, 700 miles so far, no concerns.
You have all seen this color combo by now so I don't see a need for pics.
I'm not sure what all the fuss is regarding the styling. The first time I saw one in person was at the dealership and instantly loved the look of the front. I think the rear is a bit plain by comparison but not bad. I don't see a Sonata as some have suggested.
For me personally, as good as the base stereo sounds, I wouldn't own a Lexus without ML. I agree that if you can't hear a difference you shouldn't pay the difference but I certainly hear a HUGE difference. Well worth it in my opinion but to each his own.
This car is an absolute blast to drive, completely different personality than my GS 300 it replaced. My mileage so far has been horrible, can't keep my foot out of it! Kudos to Lexus for fantastic redesign!! Now, about that GS-F.....

Multiple New GS F-Sports in AWD
My wife and I each purchased 2013 GS 350 AWD F-Sports in the past 4 weeks. They are both optioned the same except hers has the rear bumper appliqué. She got the Riviera Red/Flaxen and I got the Nebula Gray/Flaxen.
She got rid of her RX and I got rid of my GX. I'm much happier with the car. The GX was a great SUV but I do most of my driving in town these days and the car is much more appropriate for that use.
