Default So long, farewell, until I see you again

Well, the lease on my 2015 GS350 F-Sport is pretty much done so today I gave it the last quick wash, took the dust off my old DSLR and took some final pics before it goes back. I'm going to miss it, I really liked this car and like all the cars I've gone through, I wish I could keep it but I must move on... I'll have another GS one day

































































aaahh who am I kidding, someday is right now lol.... here's the new 2018 GS350 F-Sport that finally arrived yesterday afternoon, will be picking it up and getting better pics later today.

A couple pics of the car as it arrived, courtesy of my sales rep Patrick, he's awesome!

Thanks, the whole color scheme is exactly what we wanted (I also think Superman but my wife says it's Wonder Woman... close enough lol), got really lucky to find this one on its way so just had to wait about a week

Nice car! You might be the first guy on here to get a 2018. What dealer did you get it from?

Hey that would be nice if I were the first to get a 2018, cool I got it at Lexus of Pembroke Pines (FL), always gotten the cars there and I'm glad I was able to get a good deal since the prices for the GS's weren't looking too good lately... I've always had a good experience there and didn't want to have to go with something other than a Lexus, they have always taken good care of me so I'm very happy now.

Congrats on the new 2018 ride!

I gotta say, though, the 2013-2015 F sports have held up quite well in terms of looks. Considering some of these cars are 5 years old they look friggin' fantastic!

Nice car! Hopefully it's cheaper than the 2015 since the starting prices for F-sports are lower for 2018.

I have an old Nikon D60. I did edit them in photoshop though, I played with the brightness and contrast and changed the temperature to cool because the lighting in that place I took the pics was bad, too dark and the lights were too yellow so the original pics are much, much warmer. This is something I would be able to post edit on the camera or if I had a newer and better one I could actually control the temperature and lighting type on the actual shot but good nonetheless... I'm sure I could have gotten better pics but I haven't shot anything in a while so I'm rusty lol

Thanks, they do look fantastic and honestly deep inside I still like the old front better than the new... guess it reminds me more of the GSF or something, I dunno but the new car looks 10x better in person than in the pics, this is really one of those that the pics don't do it justice.

Yes it is cheaper, thank God... the quotes I was getting just a few months ago for a 17 were just outrageous and out of control... about or over $700 a month for a lease and the price of an F-sport surpassed the $60k price but the 18's are back to good prices, the MSRP on this one was ~$56k and with Mark Levinson too

Oh pics coming soon

I'm digging the new color scheme, and I am sure someone will enjoy the old ride.

Congrats ! I really like that color combo too.

Not to pry but on '18's in desirable color schemes such as yours, does one pay MSRP or is there room for negotiation ?

Looking forward to your pics !
