actually, my ES was silver and never had any problems with the color.
My GS is actually Glacier Frost Mica, a mysterious color. Sometimes it is off white and sometimes a very very light shade of blue....depends on the sunlight and cloud cover.

Contrary to previous posts, my GS has very little interior rattles (I never had the dash or windshield rattles), it is totally awesome in the New England winters with heavy snow and my gas mileage ranges from an around town average of 23 to close to 30 on straight out highway (steady 65-70 mph) runs.

First I'm a huge believer of Lexus reliability however I was wondering how much of risk I'm taking if I buy it without a warranty. Also, I was wondering if anyone who bought a GS 300 and wished they got the GS 350. I'm really not looking for performance at this point in my life (the experiences I've had with the STi will last me a lifetime ) Then there's the color... preferably I want a white one but for some reason it's hard to find one in NYC in my price range (mid 20s) Your thoughts on gray, silver?
Yup good luck!!!

one question for others: if you put the car into gear too quickly after turning the engine on, does it stall and require a restart? or is mine special. haha.
...yours is special sorry, but at least you probably don't have the dash rattle...or at least yet...
