I just recently picked up a Brand New 2018 GS F Sport AWD USB with Flaxen leather interior. I've learn a lot from this forum already. Here are some photos of the car. I cant wait until it snows to test out the AWD
Congrats on the purchase, any plans for it. Also I see your from Mass (there will be no snow so no saying that) So basically no snow testing. All jokes aside the car is really good in the snow you should not have a problem when the Rain comes ( snow). I will say the blue always looks amazing a stunning color, especially photo friendly.
I have found with my USB GS that it is the most easily scratched vehicle I have ever owned. I have never had a car with such a thin coating of paint/clear coat. After delivery, I saw a finger print a kid had left on the front edge of the hood. The car was clean as it had just been washed. I wiped my finger gently over it and scratch. Not deep, but the coat was not glassy anymore. Funeral procession with one of those flags on a magnet that had felt underneath, scratch. Toddler playing in my driveway, 2 years old, comes out of the garage with a plastic bat. He dropped, (did not swing it) the bat which weighs less than a running shoe from his arm height which is about 30 inches (so about 6 inches to my car with gravity as the only force), falls on the front end and scratch. While I love the color and have no regrets, I am surprised how easily this car is scratched down to the white or silver layer.
I respectfully disagree with the OPs assessment of USB with the red interior. It has generally received very positive reviews from all different people, even those with no filters.
And to make things even more confusing, CL members used the term "USB 2.0" which is ubiquitous with the data port. I was confused too when I was a noob on here, but quickly learned they weren't talking about computer ports LOL.
USB is a great color but the easy scratches scares me. My next Lexus have to be between USB or Atomic Silver - great colors!

You mean you aren't interested in the super speed USB 3.0?

We didnt get alot of snow but ill tell you what, when we did the salt on the car is truly awful lol. Thank!. The only plan so far I have for it might just be tints and that's all. Maybe try to get a squared set up of the GS-F wheels.

I have to say you are correct with the assessment of the paint scratching easily. We've been through 2 mini snow storm and my car is scratched up from the salt on the road its awful. Last time I washed the car it was gut wrenching.
I respectfully disagree with the OPs assessment of USB with the red interior. It has generally received very positive reviews from all different people, even those with no filters.
My friend has the red interior and it was too flashy for me but like you said personal preference. I also don't see much flexen interior around my area.

Post #5342 in the Pics of your 3IS thread... that USB color is mind-blowing!
Yeah! I am from the New England side of the world. I will give it a nice thorough detail once the snow and everything goes away haha.

Shes still beautiful!. Kind of strange because when I was shopping for my GS. The interior was either Flexen or Red I never saw one with black interior.
