i have a 08 gs350 and use the Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit ordered off of Amazon for bluetooth music streaming off my phone. I have it set up to where i play audio off my phone, but the phone calls are used through the car's bluetooth system.

and damn it.... i should of posted a question like yours before I bought my car... A GS460 is hard to come by... when I was shopping never ran into a single one.. if i knew the gas mileage of the 8spd transmission on the v8 was 22-28mpg I would of tried looking harder and bought it. I though V8 would be a gas burner, doesn't sound like it. My clusters says my average is 19-24 mpg...

I seen an 2008 GS 460 on car max for 25k black did you ever think about getting the GS 450h faster than both and looks better.

Shawnmack is completely right. They look much better in my opinion, and they are MUCH faster.

Take your time and keep your eyes open. I looked for my 09 GS460 for over a year and then last December one showed up on the Toyota lot. I grabbed it ASAP.

It was worth the wait.

I also got mine at a Toyota dealership and was fortunate to buy extended 3-year Lexus warranty for the GS460, so I'm good to go until the actual 4GS GS-F comes out!

If you don't mind, how much was the warranty and what are the terms and coverage?
