Default The Obsidian GS350
Is it blacker than Black Onyx? Who knows, I'm just glad it's finally here!







It has Mark Levinson, Navigation, Parking Assist, and 18" wheels. Chrome wheels would almost be overkill - the standard wheels are shinier than these pictures show. It's a rocket on the freeway, but I haven't had a chance to do any serious road testing yet.

The guys at the dealership all love the GS350, and they think it's going to be a big seller.

FYI, They had a Verdigris Mica/Cashmere GS350 in the showroom - that is a surprisingly nice color and pictures don't do it justice. Very classy and luxurious-looking. I was impressed with the look.

Oh, if you dont mind, can you post pics of the Gen 5 navi in the GS. I'm eager to see how it looks. Thanks. Also post pics of the fuel and climate screens if they are different from the older GSes.

I paid $49,993. I may eventually go to a wheel exchange place and get chrome OEM wheels, but not right away. As I said, these are a lot shinier than they look in a digital photo.

Actually, WorldCarFans.com has a GS450h picture page with better shots of the Gen 5 screens than I would be able to take: GS450h Photos.

Congrats on the new car. Seeing yours makes me miss mine so much. Any mods planned? These cars look good as is though. Enjoy!
