Chai here (x838nwy)
Picked up my GS450h on Friday. White + bamboo + saddle tan.
Totally impressed with everything. What is surprising is the acceleration - i drove a panameara s hybrid (briefly) and i'd say thr gs only really loses out that first sceond off the line (perhaps the cvt has something to do with it). But i am super happy with it - except for a couple of marks on the console (around the "srs airbag" sign on the passenger side) which i only found today. My dealer says they're sure it's cleanable but have also assured me the marks WILL disappear. Must wait and see...
Sorry for the lack of pics, on my iphone only till Monday...
Sorry also for the dirt on it. Just got venture shield so can't wash it for a few days....

Hey guys. I'm back after trading my 2008 GS 460 for a new 2013 Black/Black GS 350 w/Luxury Pkg, Premium Pkg, Nav, Mark Leninson, and Parking Assist (required for parking in my short garage).
Love the car. I thought there might be a problem going from a 8-speed V8 "down" to a 6-speed V6 but the performance of the 4GS is about the same -- only 36 less HP and .4 sec slower 0-60. I like the sound they've pumped back into the cockpit on this model that wasn't there on the 460. Tranny shifts are slightly more noticeable but only if you're looking for it. Response is much faster. Love the Sport and Sport+ modes although haven't gotten to use them much so far. I have no regrets whatsoever.
Love the new wide navigation screen and remote touch, 18 position seats, heads-up display, blind-spot monitor, better voice recognition, rear audio/climate controls, and shift paddles. The Mark Levinson audio system is MUCH better than the same system in the 2008. And road/wind noise is MUCH less.
Happy they've done away with run-flat tires and added more customizable features. Love Bluetooth connection to my iPhone music. Love the LED running lights. Love built-in SiriusXM radio (add-on option on 460). Love the SOS button (I think).
Taking a step backwards -- no more outside mirror retraction button or soft-close trunk lid. Huge Owners Manual takes up most of glove compartment space. No more overhead sunglasses storage space -- now SOS button in its place.
Don't miss -- cassette tape player, actual ash tray, headlight washers, and drop-down trap-door buttons for mirrors.
Just as a side note, the dealer folks are so new to the new technology in the Gen4 that it was amusing to watch them try to "train" me in the use of all this stuff. What a joke.
