Thumbs up Another Lexus convert!

I just jumped the fence into the Lexus corral. Traded a great 2005 Infiniti G35 sedan for a GS350. I toyed with the idea of several different luxury brands, but the driving experience and the value finally sold me on the GS.

As a former racer (auto-x, rally, sportcars, motocross, enduro, etc.) and the previous owner of 70 plus cars VW's, Fiat's, Alfa's, Porsche's, Toyota's, M-B's, BMW's, etc., etc., etc. I am a certified car nut. I picked up the car this AM at JM Lexus, and it was a perfect example of a properly designed and executed car. The test drives were great, but actually really putting some real miles on it today re-inforced how impressive a car this is.

I want to thank all of you that contributed posts to these forums for my indirect education about Lexus with your informative threads, both the good and the critical. It has made the selection process much easier.

Oh, by the way - Silver with Black interior!

If you haven't experienced buying a car at JM, you have missed something. I received an excellant deal.

Great color choice. I too left Infiniti for Lexus, and the difference in the details is amazing!

Congrats and great color choice. The Mercury Silver looks exceptionally good with the slightly graphite colored 18" wheels. Mine is silver/black as well.
