Congrats to me... new 02 GS3 Sport Design !
Well, after about a year of thinking, reading, reviewing, posting, obsessing, I wrote the check today for a 2002 GS300 Sport Design. Graphite Grey Pearl with Black interior. No Nav or ML. A nice price of just under $38k.
I thought about and drove: Accura TLS, 03 Accord, Infiniti G35, BMW 540, Lexus ES, and a used GS400. All had good/bad points. In the GS3, I still hate the lack of on wheel audio controls, and am concerned about snow handling.
But for all that thinking, it comes down to this: Not only does this car drive like a dream, but the interior makes standing still a pleasure! And living in Boston, I'm often at a stop. I'm guessing I'll get used to the audio, and hope that good snow tires work.
BTW, a friend did a search, and said there are only 6 new Sport Designs left in the country. Too bad, I think it's a nice setup.
After I pick the car up next week, I'll be back with lots of questions.

I have a 2002 SportDesign also. Hopefully, it won't make our cars too common after 2003.

It was only available in 3 colors black, silver and a special graphite color only available with the SportDesign. It was supposed to be available in either black or gray interior but as far as I know, it was really only available in black. At least that's what every dealer told me when I was searching for mine. I wanted black anyway so it didn't matter. I did have a tough time deciding between the graphite and black exterior colors.
