Very nice!! What a beauty. You're a lucky dude - this is definitely a rare breed.
I've so glad that you were able to find one that was well cared for and passed on the vehicle you had initially posted about - I know you had been looking for many months (like most of us hybrid owners trying to find our "perfect" vehicles). It definitely doesn't hurt that you're in a populated place like So Cal though!
What are the specs on this hybrid F-Sport? Year? Mileage? Options?
I'm hoping you can share your thoughts on the vehicle after you get more mileage on the car. I would to hear your feedback and gripes with this car.
Thanks for sharing a few glimpses of your ride. Enjoy!

Just picked up a 2015 GS450h F-Sport myself a couple weeks ago. Practically new with only 14k miles. Looks to be pretty much identical to garyeh's but without the headlamp washers. From what I'm seeing on this forum and elsewhere, North American F-sport GS hybrids were pretty rare, much less in a 2015?
I don't object to the newer style front and rear on the 2016 and up models but do prefer this less aggressive style a bit better. Stumbled across this car a few weeks ago and had to have it. So far, absolutely love it!
Understanding they had the F-Sport overseas since 2013(?), anyone have an idea how how many North American 2015 GS450h F-Sports there might be?

Congrats gn1017! Welcome to the hybrid club.
Please share some photos of your new ride. Does yours also have the same options as the one purchased by garey? Let us know what you like/don't like about the vehicle. I hope you stick around; not many of us hybrid owners that remain active on the forum.
Yes, I believe it has almost all the same options as garyeh's. It has radar cruise but I haven't had the chance to test if it has the 'full speed DRCC' capability also. It does not have the headlamp washers so I guess that difference means they are not exactly identical Interesting that his has that as the 2015 brochure indicates that it wasn't available on the GS450h.
Will post pictures as soon as I can get a chance.
Had a 2000 RX for years, upgraded it after 312k to a 2012 GX460 a few years back (wife's rides) and now this one is for me.
One question on the radar cruise... In two places, the owner's manual states that the LKA would be activated when the radar cruise is activated. I would love this. Am I too lazy to press another button, right there on the steering wheel, a few inches from my left hand?
Absolutely love the car. Fine piece of machinery and very fun to drive. I determined it does have full range dynamic cruise too. Surprised with so many automatic features that it doesn't have auto dimming headlamps. 2016 may have been first year for that?
