Congrats Gunndecker! Welcome to the "exclusive" GS hybrid club. That's one super rare vehicle you picked up. Had you been looking for a while? I know with the hybrid f-sport, a lot of owners had to purchase it new and have it shipped to them direct from Japan. Does yours have some miles on it?

Hope you enjoy the vehicle and please give a review after you've driven it a while!

Thanks IM2!

I have been looking for a month. I was searching online and found an atomic silver and this ultra white. It was already been in the dealership used as a demo with only 1k miles (this is chump change). This model was shipped and made in Japan, with the full options like ML, 19 in spoke wheels, HUD display, f sport package. I will definitely look into getting some mods in the future to have it look a little bit more aggressive and cleaner.

I will provide a review after the initial 500 miles.

Congrats! This must be the one at Herb Chamber Lexus-Sharon. I've been eyeing it for awhile but my heart wants the GSF. Hope you have a terrific deal on it.

I am also in Virginia Beach. Pretty sure I'm the only GS-450h in the area. At least 2015s. We should meet up sometime. Lexus if VB is pretty good.

Don't forget to do a photo shoot if you guys meet up! Two owners with GSh F-Sports in one place? Unreal!

Hey Mustang and community!

Just got back from the drive, from Boston to Virginia (total of 550 miles) was exhilarating! I have to say, the S+ mode is a whole other personality. Could not help smiling when driving long straightaways with the pedal to the metal. And when in eco mode, its like driving a prius, except it ISNT!! I was tempted to be speed demon all the way through but I needed another way to enjoy my ride in eco mod\e\\e I would love to meet up with you Mustang and talk about your experiences with the car. I am still new to the area and know a few lexus owners would help me integrate into the community.

I have never enjoyed driving a vehicle til this young lady let me. Driving was just half of the enjoyment. the rest is in the experience inside the cockpit. Alot of info to consume between the dash, enformtainment , and the phone. Although I like the information, shuffling through them all were distracting. However, once i had gotten to a nice balance of her health, trip info, and driving directions all was smooth sailing from there. Anyhow, I guess this would be considered as a light review of the vehicle and I will provide details of the purchasing experience and drive later. Still thinking about what mods I would like to add even though shes great all by herself...

I noticed your signature says you have a 2017-RX350 AWD F Sport and 2015-GS350 AWD F Sport Crafted Line. I have the same exact GS. How can you possibly live in MA and go from an AWD to a RWD? I'm in NJ so I know you definitely need AWD in this kind of weather. I like the GSF also but driving RWD in winter weather is a no-go.

Wow, not just ONE but TWO 4GS hybrids? That's insane.

I'm assuming one for you and one for your wife. Please share a few photos and I'm sure we would love to hear a review after you get some miles on them!
