I love the white and blue interior, I just don’t like owning one. Lol
I got the alcantara seats. Not fully in love with it but…
In and out of the dealership in less than 3 hours.
I didn’t even bother with the test drive. I drove it home!

Amazing! So happy for you. I'll come back here to post mine when I get it. Was the GS-F yours? I strongly considered getting one a few years back, but our '13 GS350 was our DD and in Toronto weather I worried about losing the AWD. But I did tell my kids that between the GS, the GX we have now, and the LC.. we'll have owned all the "Black Panther" cars, which blows their minds. While the BP cars are a Structural Blue LC500, a GS-F in grey (mine was a red 350), and the TRD Pro 4Runner in black (we have a black GX460), I'd like to think we're about as close as anyone else has probably gotten .

I traded in my ‘20 USB GSF today for the LC500.

I still have my ‘15 GS350 AWD F Sport Crafted Line Edition that I gave to my dad. I hope to get it back some day.
The GSF is a totally different beast than the 350. And with snow tires set up, it does pretty well in the snow(well, I only took it out once after a snowstorm to test its capability).
I’ll be looking for another set of rims for this LC500 for winter set up. Not to use it in the snow but I need it for the cold here.

Oops - I could have just checked your signature. I really miss my GS350. Such a great car, and so many milestones (professional and personal) during my 9 years of ownership. Enjoy all your vehicles, and hope you get the 350 back one day! At least it's still in the family.

They also have a Bespoke convertible which look incredible in red. Even in the rain.
