Default FINALLY: N. FLA Pics of new GS430 Matador Red

This hot car was shipped to my driveway 2 nights ago. I got home late today to wash car and by the time I took pics, the sun was down. Will repost in a couple of days of day shots. The Matador Red just looks killer in the sun..

What do you think? I'm lovin it (like Mickey D's). Just bothered my the v5.1 nav system..spoiled b/c of my wifes v6.1 in her IS250. Wish I could just pay to upgrade disc but doesn't seem to be that way due to other threads I read. Car sounds great with the V8 although I want to take off what ever cover i can (any ideas....haven't really looked yet)

Pics look great, I've seen that color in person and it really does look great in the sun.

What did you mean by v5.1 nav system in GS and v6.1 in the IS250 what is the difference? I thought they were both Gen 5 Nav's. What does v6 have that v5 doesn't?

My Nav system is very grainy. Its like the graphics has a slight blurr effect to it. My wifes IS250 Nav is has very CRISP & CLEAR graphics. She even has the icons of the actual logos for gas stations (Shell, BP, Exxon, etc), fast food (McD's, wendys, krystal, etc) and others. Its very cool...maybe mine has it and just have set it that way yet. Mine just seems grainy and not as defined as hers. I don't know maybe there is something I can adjust just haven't had it long enough to figure out.

Thanks everyone...the red is different which is what I wanted..

I may swing by the Orlando meet...I'll be in Tampa for the ACC Basketball Tournament and will be coming back Sat morning...depends on time as I have to be back in Jax by mid afternoon. I'll keep the address and hope to stop by for a little bit if nothing else.

I am getting my GS350 in about two hours from now. It's the same color combination. I ordered it way back, first week in Feb.

Matador in Spanish means "killer", it fits!
