I love this color too. I like that black interior too...shows less dirt. The wheels are AWESOME!
CONGRATS!

I drove the new GS430 for the first time last night, and WHAT A DIFFERENCE from the older 2nd generation GS.

My GS4 has always seemed FAST, but the NEW car seems MUCH FASTER. Is it me, or is it that much faster to other people? Obviously I am talking about stock to stock, as I am sure the modded cars will walk away from the new cars with no problem.

I was blown away with the smoothness of the new setup. The engine rpms are just like the 2nd generation vehicle..500 rpm in drive with no lights and no AC, and 750 in drive with lights and AC on. This car obviously has new engine mounts, and mine has smoothed out since I changed my mounts a couple weeks ago.

There is nothing like the smell and feel of a new car. I had to get out of there, or I would have bought it last night.

THE NEW CAR IS DEFINITELY IN MY FUTURE, BUT NOT RIGHT NOW!

Thanks JWATERS...I looked again, adjusted my new glasses, and corrected myself in the same post before I read your reply. Maybe I need to get NEWER glasses, lol!

I see the MATADOR RED in the GS300 all the time, but not yet in the GS430. I am looking for one right now. My last choice would be the black exterior.

Hope I see one in red soon!
