There is also run flats and PCS, but it appears they aren't building those.

And for those of you who did not like the look of the GS rim, a "G-Spider" 18" Alloy is an available option. (A very hot looking stock rim, if I do say so myself!)

There's 46 coming to the Western Area.

I'm really leaning towards the Flint Mica.

Will Satellite Radio be standard on the GS430? If not, I definitely want to add it!

Yes, it appears that Satellite Radio is an available option, just like some of our other models.

hey r u sure about that being correct? because a moonroof being as an option but for 02-04 models, Lexus made it standard equipment on all models? doesnt sound right, but who knows, u think if u pay over 40k for a car at lease they can give u a sunroof. and hopefully leather interior is standard now on the 300 model

Yes, I am sure. It appears to have flipped back to being an option, or a "factory installed option" which means they all come with it. And leather is standard.

LEXUS FAN!

how much is it fully loaded?

isn't it more expensive than before? by how much?

Incendiary

It would appear that your answer is...

EDIT: Actually, after seeing the GS300 RWD pricing thread, I tentatively take that back. Elizabeth, are there more packages for the 430 that are more expensive?

Car Freak

Why is it that, compared to Lexus' competitors like Audi, BMW, Mercedes, etc, Lexus does not have many options? If you were to go to one of those other sites, you can change just about everything on the car, but with Lexus, it seems you get it their way or no way.

It seems that run flats and Pre-Collision are not being added to the cars in the Western area. The GS I built from my price sheet and posted is what we would consider "fully loaded". It's what dealers have been getting for the past several years and I've been getting positive feedback so far.

I'm very glad sunroof is an option since I have ZERO interest in having one. Eats head room and has been nothing but a problem with the rattling shade for most GS owners.

So on the new GS430 pricing, many here were saying it would be the same or less than the current model. Well dream on guys, it's about 4K more from what I can see, which is not unreasonable given the improved equipment.

Uhh the sunroof is pretty not an option because it is part of the premium package and u have to get that in order to receive the base GS300.

I think this is totally a BULL**** thign that lexus does and other car makers, making u get a package even if u dont want one...but have to get the package in order to get a car....another way to make $$$

You are forgetting something here, the general market that is looking to buy a car like this does not want the base model bare bones minimum.

I remember when I was at Lexus of San Antonio a long time ago looking through their lot, we spotted a very RARE, base model GS300 in Alpine Silver Metallic w/no moonroof and get this...CLOTH SEATS! To this day, I have yet to see another one of those ever.

The demand for a base model car doesn't generate enough pull to sway Lexus to build more "base" model cars. They are available, but not readily available as in one with the popular option combos.

so ehres the pics from the houston auto show i went to last night....man the car pix dont do any justice to the actual vehicle..in person the car looks GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! screw all the pics ...but i did manage to get a few...and get this...even thoit was on a platform where u couldnt touch or sit inside...the "product specialist" saw how crazy i was for the car that he let me sit inside and take picx.....he was like...brother uv been here for 5 hours...GO HOME ALREADY...lolllll so we started talking and he was really nice to let me go and sit inside....

Incendiary

Unless I"m misunderstanding something, we're talking about slightly different things here. You are saying that most everyone will want the premium package, which is why it'll come with it in 99% of cases. akbergq and I are saying that it is not possible to ever get anything less than the premium package as an add on, ever, even if you try to order from the factory directly.

If that's not actually the case, then I apologize for misunderstanding. However, if it is the case, it's very misleading advertising.
