Hi all. My wife and I just purchased a slightly used Lexus so I decided to join the forum:

1. 2013 GS 350 F Sport.
2. Obsidian / Black Leather with Striated Aluminum Trim
3. Nav, no ML
4. AWD
5. No Dynamic Rear Steer with AWD
6. Since it's the Mrs., I'll stick to modifying my GTO.
7. This replaced my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I had for 19 years. We were first looking at the IS350 F Sport, but it was too small (I'm 6'6"). I looked at a lot of other cars before we decided on this: Infiniti Q50S, Cadillac ATS and CTS (love the new CTS), as well as the Mercedes C300 Sport and E350 Sport.

The new ride:


Here is one of the GTO as well:

Hi!

Purchased the car during December to Remember last year:

1. '14 GS 350 F Sport
2. Ultra White/ Black
3. Nav / No ML
4. RWD
5. no DRS
6. Tint
7. Briefly thought about 535i and E-Class but I've been pretty set on the GS.

I've been a member for a while here to do research before purchase, then placed an order back in November. My car finally arrived at the dealer this week, and I picked it up yesterday. The roads here (Toronto area) are still a mess from snow and ice, so I stopped right around the corner from the dealer to take some pics before it got too dirty.

This is my new 2014 GS with Technology package (which I think is roughly the equivalent of the Luxury package in the US, plus ML, HUD, BSM/RCTA -- we don't get these as separate options up here in Canada).

Hello fellow CL'ers,

I've been following the forums since I got my car in November but didn't decide to join until now. Many of you have provided me great insight on what mods I decided/ plan to do. Thanks a bunch!

1. F Sport
2. Obsidian/Cabernet
3. Navi and ML
4. RWD
5. No DRS
6. Vinyl'ed tail-lights, lowered on tanabe. Future mods in the air.
7. Considered IS350 F sport, STi, and 335i. The car replaced a 2007 scion tC.

Here's a pic before the springs were installed.

After installed. Will post a better pic trw

Hello, everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum since I've been lurking on and off for years, but even more so recently while researching new cars. Thanks to a lot of the info in this forum I realized that a GS was probably the best option for me at this point and ended up purchasing one of the few new 2013 models left. Here are the details:

1. GS F-sport
2. Liquid Platinum / Black
3. Nav, but no Mark Levinson
4. RWD
5. No DRS
6. I'm considering staying stock, but that usually doesn't work out. The car already has tints because the dealer had put them on. The future mods I'm considering are the Skipper front lip spoiler, Tanabe NF210's, and Vossen CV2's. I'd really like to see the lip and drop in person before I decide though.
7. I was all over the place when deciding on a new car. These are a few of the other cars I considered: X1, X3, 335 (sedan and vert), Q5, MDX, and the new IS 350. This is my first Lexus and I'm coming from a 335 convertible.

I've attached the only pic I have of my new car and a couple of my old car.

Welcome to CL. How do you like the handling of the GS ?

I cringed when I saw the "Please" written on the Obsidian hood knowing Obsidian, the word "Please" is absolutely marred into the surface now...

hahaha I felt that same despair, then I got out Meguiar's Gold Class wash and did a quick detail and wax after, surprisingly it was completely gone, not even the faintest hint of it
