Anyone else NOT seen a new GS as yet?
Months go by, I have yet to see a new GS in my travels around my area of Florida. I've been an hour south, down to Cocoa Beach and north up to Palm Coast, and still haven't spotted a single one, and I've been on the lookout too. Disappointing really. 
Could be because the nearest Lexus dealers to me are 70 miles (Orlando) and about the same distance south in Melbourne and north in Jacksonville. Still I'm surprised I haven't seen any by now.
Just curious if I'm the only one not to see one in person, parked or driving on the roadways.
I know I'll be excited when I finally do, but I'll try to keep my wifus from knowing that if she's with me when it happens. She thinks I'm weird when it comes to things like that.

Except at the dealership, VVT-I's 06 GS is the first I've seen out on the road in NC (saw it at a CL meet last weekend)

I' ve only seen one on the road so far in Vancouver I think, but in the 3 day weekend I was in L.A. a couple weeks ago, I probably saw half a dozen new GS's. Ironically, I saw more Bentley Continental R's & SL's than 3GS's there in that 3 days.

I've only seen 2 in my area. 1 Glacier Frost Mica and 1 Chardonnay Pearl. Both were GS300 AWD.
I have yet to see a GS430 on the street. The local dealership has recv'd VERY few 430's (part of the reason I special ordered mine). The AWD seems to be a big selling in my area, too bad it isn't offered w/ the V8.

Seen at least...
3 Black Onyx
2 Quartz Shadow Metallic
1 Crystal White
1 Mercury Metallic
2 Glacier Frost Mica
Most recent sighting was the Crystal White, parked outside a bank. Previously, saw a fully loaded (4 passengers+) Mercury Metallic, with very happy passengers inside (smiling and waving!). Before that, a Black Onyx pulled up alongside our LS 430, and true to a GS driver's personality, promptly moved ahead of us, pulled in front of our leisurely cruising LS, and then floored it, zooming past all the other cars on the road until it disappeared ahead.

I have seen quite a few here. One guy lives close to me and he has a white one, I see it almost weekly. I have seen 2 different silver ones, because one was from GA. I really love the silver
and he replied with the same, mutual respect.

I saw three just on the drive home from work today. I've seen at least 25 third-gen GSs, and only 5 Ms by way of comparison.
Lately, I'm seeing a whole bunch of silver GSs. Nice, but not quite the color I want to see more of. Come on people, get out there with your black GSs!
