Just got an 05 GS460, which replace my Wifes Vitz.
Its more of a nice weekend car to take when we go out, she still has the Vitz for Daily driving, and I have an 80 series Landcruiser for Daily and Supra for the race track.

previous car
2007 infiniti g35 coupe
I had a 2002 nissan altima before the infiniti. I had no problems with the altima. Decided I wanted something more sporty and luxurious and reliable like the altima so I got a g35. I had a lot of problems with the g35 and wanted to try out lexus. I only had the car for a month. I'm hoping for a good experience. I had a bad experience with a toyota though so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Before I bought my GS I had a 2002 Lexus LS 430. The only bad part about the LS is that it wasn't the Ultra Luxury package so it was kinda boring to me as far as getting in it. Mine didn't even have a navi :-( but before the LS I had a BMW 745, a great car as far as performance and comfort but reliablity was terrible. Something was wrong with the 7 series every single week.

Had an early ES 300 and then in 2005 picked up a 2001 GS430 with 25K. Sold it in December (with 170K) and picked up a Mica Red 2009 GS 460 with 44K. Used to drive Z cars when I was younger-- 71 240, 76 280, 81 300.

My last car was a 2010 Camry XLE, decided to upgrade to a 2010 GS 350 last October. I really liked my Camry, but the GS is just so much better looking!

2006 Kawasaki Ninja 650R - SOLD
2010 Toyota Camry XLE - SOLD

before picking up my 06 GS300 blue onyx pearl. I drove a 2002 Toyota Avalon. Nice ride but lacked the sporty look and ride that my wife so wanted. Glad to be in the Lexus club. 1999 audi A6.

07 Toyota FJ Cruiser, lots of fun, but needed to go more family friendly. After a day and a half of driving the 06 GS300, I'm loving it. Before that I've owned too much to list.

Bought new back in 2002 but became a garage queen in 2006 when I had kids. I daily an 09 Pilot but finally got rid of the S2K this year to make room for my 07 GS350 in the garage. At least now I can have a somewhat sporty RWD that can seat my kids as well.

Before buying my 2007 GS 350 last June, I was driving a 2004 Hyundai Elantra that I bought brand new. That was the first car I bought and paid for by myself. Had a 1998 Toyota Camry before that bought by my parents for my first car. So happy to have my dream car now!
