I really should not do that as I'm a Toyota Motor North America employee and we have access to unique discounts through the employee scheme. I'm not deliberately being evasive, it just would not be fair to the other forum members who are not TMNA employees. Hope you understand.

Hello everyone - thought I'd share my new GS with the forum. I've always admired Lexus cars and I'm thrilled to make a new 2017 GS 350 F-Sport my first from the brand. I previously had mostly owned Nissan/Infiniti products and drove a 2008 Mazda3 GT for nearly 9 years.
I had been scoping GS 350 F-Sports for nearly a year, using this forum as a guide to features and options - I was very well informed thanks to this forum. I found my GS online at a Dallas dealership in January and to my surprise it was still available when I was ready to purchase in early April. It's fully loaded and I was thrilled to find one with triple-beam headlights. It had 17 miles when I drove it home and three weeks later I'm only up to about 250 miles. I'm really impressed with the ride, power and handling - I'm looking forward to many years of service from this one.
One 'mod' that I'll take on later this fall will be getting Michelin Super Sport A/S tires installed. A little surprised that the RWD F-Sports ship with summer tires (I knew prior to purchase) and I think an all-season will be more appropriate for our somewhat unpredictable, but mild winters here. I'm awfully cautious of temps with my Pilot Super Sports summer tires on my Z.
Only issue so far is my Enform Remote activation, which I understand is a bit half baked. My online account indicates my GS is enrolled and activated, but the remote app on my Samsung Galaxy S8 doesn't 'see' my car. It's a frustrating loop to be in, as the app asks me to go to the web portal to add my GS - which is already there. I'm four calls in to Lexus customer service with no resolution.

6. No significant mods planned - I did have a clear wrap installed on the entire front clip (entire hood, front fenders, bumper, mirror caps, under door handles).
7. Others considered: Mercedes C-class, E-class, Infiniti Q50. Replaced my 2008 Mazda3 GT, added to 2017 QX80 Limited and 2013 370Z.
Great color combo! Triple beams & Mark Levinson are must haves, Good move having ppf installed and if it were me I would just keep the original tires until they wear out and then replace them. Did the film installer cover the headlights too?

Thanks! I'm a firm believer in ppf - my Z was my introduction nearly 5 years ago. I've had the same installer do four cars now, and he's extremely reluctant to cover headlights so I haven't pushed the issue. Have you had yours covered?
I haven't driven at night to test the triple-beams, but I love the look. The ML system is astounding.
Reading up on the Potenzas it looks like they might not be as sensitive to the cold as the Pilot SS I'm used to.

Nice ride!! I had my 2016 wrapped when I bought it. I have the complete front end wrapped liked you and the headlamps too. I wish I had triple beams - that and HUD are about all I'm missing by way of options.

Thanks! I might have to convince my guy to start doing headlights.
My only reservation about the HUD so far is that it greatly diminishes my time spent looking at the gauges (duh) and the digital gauge cluster was a huge selling point for me.

6. Planned mods? Dealer installed window tint and Clear bra (front end, hood, side mirrors) as part of my deal. Like most of us, I really like the GS F, so right now the only big mod planned is to switch out my wheels for a set of OEM GS F wheels.
7. What other cars were you considering? I was also looking at the Audi S4 and BMW M3 Sedan... I could not pass up on the deal of the GS, and really liked the redesign. What did this replace or add to? I've daily-driven a 2007 Toyota Tacoma since the day I purchased it new 10 years ago. Since then, family needs led me to purchase a new 2014 Toyota 4Runner for the size and space. Driving a truck for 10 years, I new I wanted to change to a 'sports' sedan. So I started researching this site for the different options available about 1 year ago. I found all the options I wanted in my color, along with fair price in a Certified 2016 GS350 F Sport. I couldn't pass it up and purchased it this past weekend.
