hello

I recently sold my 2004 LS430 and bought a GS450h. I thought the LS was the best car ever but the GS is starting to grow on me.

What model year is she?
Nice shot of the GSh shows the wiper arms pulled out of the hood edge pocket.
Did you realize you can push the passenger side arm down toward the base of the windshield to clean up the look and the aerodynamics?

2013 model. I think in that picture I had turned the car off while the windshield wiper was on.

Welcome to the club @916LS - time to change your username and show off some pictures of your "new" GSh Does yours have the Luxury package?

I would love to hear a comparison after you get some more miles. The LS is a totally different car/geared toward a different audience, but still.. it would be nice to hear about both cars. My good friend also has a 3G LS and it still rides very nice, just the leather on the interior is showing a lot of age.

I’ll be honest I was very obsessed with the LS. I had a 93 LS 400 15 years ago. I was very impressed with it. My 04 LS with Sport Suspension was the perfect blend.But The GS feels more solid. The GS feels firmer than the LS. But like you said they are different cars just comes down to preference. I’m not sure if I have the luxury package but I noticed the center console thing in the back seat had radio and climate controls. I didn’t know I could change my username. But if 916GS isn’t taken then I’ll change it.

Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome
