Still usable info that the whole public doesn't need to know.

The picture that flip uploaded from the autoshow....the one of the side view of the car,, i dont know - maybe its just me...but im not really feeling it that much =/ I think because it makes it too much of a slingshot look, making the car seem a little peculiar.

Also, the tail looks a little weird at an angle like that...my brother saw the car at the autoshow in LA and he said the same thing...."the back ofthe car looks kind of "pushed in" making it look sort of odd". The front and interior looks absolutely gorgeous.

Maybe if the back was leveled off vertical like the current 2nd generation it may have looked nicer. i dont know.

Dont get me wrong guys, i think its a fantastic looking car...just minor secondary things im beginning to see after seeing Flip's pics.

Also, im not feeling the lip spoiler at all. In fact I dotn want any spoiler on mine. I hope they make it an option or sumthing on the base GS300.

I know a lot of ppl find it nice, but i dont like that. But if i have to get the car with that along with the , ill have to take it.

But i do hope they are an option or sumthing

Wow, according to the canada website.... the rear spoiler is offered in either selection of the PACKAGES....so it must mean that the rear lip spoiler is not standard....how cool is that for me????? loll

I hope it goes the same for the US offerings.

FLIP, did this Mercury Metallic color seem "different." Was it stunning, or did it appear like most other silver variants? From some shots it looks "special" and others it looks like plain ole silver. Anybody else see this color GS at any of the shows? Impressions?

The lighting made it alot more dramatic. Under natural sunlight, it's a really great looking silver as Elizabeth from Longo mentioned. Looks 10x better than my green biased Millenium Silver Metallic.
