Wait, the 430 hums on idle?? Well... the 300 makes a nice clicking sound!

That's a pretty cool color. It reminds me of BMW's carbon black

I agree on the sharkfin. Now that I see it, I feel lucky I got my 450H before they added it.

I love the sharkfin! I think it really enhances the sleek look of the car. With other premium cars having some sort of fin antenna (Mercedes, BMW, Audi, etc.) it's about time Lexus added one too. And I think the Lexus sharkfin is the best looking one.

I actually like the sharkfin. Now it looks similar to the 5 series though. The sharkfin definately adds a smoother flow to the overall design in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing the pics. My fiance and I are looking into getting a GS350 and considering the Black Sapphire or Silver. I like the black sapphire personally since I have a IS300 Spectra Blue Mica. I like the blue speckles in the paint.

i don't know what part of ca you are but lexus of cerritos has a black saph. gs350 on their lot. looks very nice in person. as always, pictures don't do it justice. makes the car look very expensive to me.

That is one hell of a color!!

I'm liking that Lexus is stepping it up in the color choices department. Consists of some very interesting colors (Glacier Frost, Matador Red, Smoky Granite and of course this one, just to name a few).

Thanks for the heads up. I'm actually from the SF Bay Area. I purchased my first car through carsdirect and I might just do so with the GS350. I hate dealing with Salesman.
