Hey guys-

Just closed the deal and took delivery of a 2015 LS460! Nebula Grey with Grey interior. Coming from a 2013 GS350 Luxury package that I enjoyed very much. The LS is a car that I have wanted for a long time, looking forward to many happy years with it.

Will take better pictures, but here's a quick one to get you started

Congratz SW13GS!

That's a beautiful color. I had a chance to pick up a 13 NGP F-Sports with radar CC but couldn't come to terms with the dealer.

Wow. No messing around Huh? Went right for the 2015. Congrats. Looking forward to some more pics. And hearing how much you love it. Would be interested in a GS to LS comparison when you get time.

Thanks guys!

Only a few miles on it so far, but have a lot of appointments tomorrow, I'll be on the road a lot, so I will let you know my thoughts in more detail.

Off the top, the GS has a couple nice touches the LS lacks, mainly because its a newer overall design. For instance the GS has a fuel tank door without a pop inside. It has the new turn signals that go back to center. The seats in the one I had were the multi-contour 18 way seats that you can't get on the LS. The leather in the GS was better because it was the semi-aniline leather and my LS is base. My GS had rear seat audio and climate controls, and side door sunshades, adaptive suspension. It was a nice ride.

All of that pale in comparison to the awesome ride and refinement of the LS. its what I've really been looking for for years, all the other cars were just a stop-gap to get me here.

I would not hesitate to buy another GS though, they're fabulous cars. You get a lot of the refinement and solidity for a good price.

I have the exact same color combo, except mine is only a 2011. Was this your first choice for color options? For me I didn't exactly like it at first, but after many months of looking, it grew on me because it was so different from all the other cars, LS, and anything else I had seen. It's a great looking car! The paint really holds up. Can't wait to see more.

Huge congratulations to you and a beautiful color.
Went straight for the '15! A man that knows what he wants! How could anyone be mad at that!
Look forward to more pics and your feedback as you drive your new LS!
