alright so bought my first gs last night.

2008 GS350 AWD white with black interior.

I LOVE IT! one thing I didn't like.... seems the engine is a bit loud...at least from my lexus expectations. I don't know if this is normal but it sounds like you can hear the belt spinning.

Mine is louder than I thought as well, but only when I'm in the pedal.. I actually like it!! I don't know if mine sounds like yours, I definitely don't hear the belts spinning, but it does have a low growl to it....Sounds good!!

Ill post a video when I get home today around 330. yeah I only hear it spinning on idle.


so I also found out... this car does not have the rear sunshade. it does have the navi and the dolby audio system. I don't think its the mark levinson one because I don't see 14 speakers lol
