Talk about great service... the LONGO van couldn't make it, so Elizabeth is personally picking me up! I'll see you guys in a few hours.

If i was frebay, i think the last thing i would do is take the car and then come home from the dealership. Id waste about 2-3 hours burning gas just driving the car all over town before coming home with it..lol

Default Frebay, you're the man

Is that Glacier Frost or Crystal White? You like the start button don'tcha? I lose it when it turns green and you just tap it like 5,4,3,2,1, ignition....and we have lift off!

WOW, this car is amazing, in the 2 hours that i drove the car home, i got 3 compliments, the push-button start is amazing. I keep on thinking a key is there and look for a key. The car is so smooth and quiet.

I was just there tonight. Longo had plenty of new GS300' in every color! They had 44 in their starting inventory. More than half of them are already delivered. Most of the ones they had were in Flint Mica, Mercury Metallic, Crystal White and Black Onyx. MSRP from 45 to 50 for the fully loaded ML/Nav model.

There were 2 GS430's that were already called for that were sitting in the corner of their basement. One was Black on Black the other was Matador Red and Tan. Both fully loaded ML/Nav packages.

Red face so close, yet so far

Matador Red/Tan, huh? I'm on the Longo list for a 430 Mat Red/black - shucks

Flip, - how different is the Glacier Frost from the Silver? Is that the GF to the right of the Mat Red and the silver to the left? Or are they both silver? Thanks!

That will come in due time, Red/black.

The Glacier Frost is very different. Think of a silvery white with an irridecent blue in the mix. Definitely a unique color. Mercury Silver is what it is.

Here's a photo of Glacier Frost that I took a few months back. The flourescent lighting and color balance of my camera throws the color off a little. The color is actually very stunning in real life and under the sun!

congrats !!
car looks awesome.
question: is everyone paying MSRP on these or are there any discounts one should expect when ordering ? when will they be readily available without a waiting period ?
I am looking for a white / tan GS300 AWD fully loaded.

There are n o discounts...except for a certain few who were lucky ...ahem ahemm...

why should there be discounts, at least now? the car is selling like hotcakes. whatever allocation an average dealer is getting - is being sold. The wait time in texas is about 2 months, from the point the car is ordered and paid for either thru financing or leasing, to the point where the car arrives at the dealership. Dont expect dsicounts on this vehicle of ANY kind or any special promotional financing or leasing rates for at least a good 5-7 months.

Its defnitely goign to be the hottest car on the road for the money.

the glacier frost color is awesome. it has a hint of blue when the sun hits it, but most of the time, it looks white.
