I like the new gray. It is in-between silver and dark gray like every other automaker is offering these day. Looks good. The grille looks better as well, also liking the lip spoiler. I don't like that there is no wood inside. I think the interior with wood package is gorgeous, so hopefully that will be an option on the F-Sport models.

If both the GS350 & GS450 have available factory installed F-Sport Packages direct from Japan..
It will be a GOOD thing for sure..!!!
The new "Nebula Gray Pearl" is just stunning in person..!!!
Here is an example of what the new Color & F-Sport Badge will look like from the Live Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegeance event...
Below is the new 2012 CT200 h in the "Nebula Gray Pearl" and upcoming new "F-Sport Package"
Current "F-Sport Packages" are only available on the LS460, IS250, IS350 & IS-C (RWD Only)
(Badge not installed on the LS460)
That's all changing real soon!!!

That would depends a lot on your personality and preferences. I love HP and I hate driving an underpower car. For me, everytime I have to choose a loaner car from the dealer, IS250 vs. ES350.........as much as the IS250 handle 10x better then the ES350, I prefer having the extra 70 hp more then the great handling. On the street, you are going straight much more then turning anyway 
The lack of enough power of the IS250 is very frustrating.

The GS350 got enough power to not feel unbearably slow, 200 hp cars like the IS250, GS300, ES300 are unbearably frustrating.
I guess everything is relative, if you just got out of a E9x M, the GS350 would be a pain.
Like if you just got out of a Veyron, your M3 would feel painfully lack of power

I guess I am adjusted to the slower pace now. Before when I was driving my R34 GTR or STi that run low to high 12s, the 300 hp GS430 would feel painfully slow.
Now all I drive are 300 hp LS/SC430, 300 hp feels adequate.
It is all relative
My dad think his GS300 is fast

Don't worry, all Lexus cars suppose to come with zero wheel gaps and flush aggressive offset wheels, as shown by the GS350, LS600hL, GS400 and IS-F Lexus put on their offical press release 
All Lexus you see with giant wheel gaps and weak conservative wheel fitment are photoshopped by Lexus hater to make them look bad
