Traded my GS350
I was one of the early adopter on the 13GS350 white/black Fsport and I love the car dearly but I feel that it was still missing something... My car has 45xx miles and I have had it for almost 4 months. A few days ago, I traded it for ______. 
Can some one guess what it is?

Can some one guess what it is? The fact that you would play the "guess game" on a Lexus forum, is a dead giveaway that you traded for another Lexus.
If so, you can't go wrong with their latest release of new models such as the ES or RX. NEVER in a million years would I drive an RX because I consider them to be the ultimate mommy mobiles (no offense to anyone just my true thoughts). However, if the drive of the 13 RX matches the F Sport label and aggressive look, I would most certainly consider it. Don't get me started on the ES! I may be one of the few people who love the look of the new ES.Now with that said, what did you get?

The only thing I would trade mine for would be a Porsche 911 (997.2), probably a cabriolet, which the picture is not.

let's say he wanted more power,,,, he wouldn't go for the 2013 RX. i would say maybe BMW 550M, Porsche, maybe even a Maserati. anyway sorry to hear your GS just wasn't cutting it for you. i would do the same,,, i get bored very easily with some things that i buy, either i put it in a corner or i get rid of it. can't say that about my F-Sport though. i'm still enjoying her. who knows someday i may get bored with her too. Maybe you got an LS 460L.

Im extremely happy with the way that the 4GS has been treating me... There is NOT a car out there I want, well, may be the new M5 but that's a few months away... I LOVE my GSFsport.

Pole Position
Even better, he traded it for a a different color interior (black to cabernet red). Exterior color remained the same : White.
@ jman-is350 :
Dude. You really must love the 4GS.
Your family has basically owned 3 4th Generation GS's in a space of 4 months.
Does your new 4GS have the dynamic rear steering (DRS) option? Let me know your thoughts on the difference in handling between a DRS equipped F-Sport and non-DRS F-Sport. In Singapore, ALL our F-Sports have DRS so I can't really tell how much diffference DRS alone makes.

I like the 991, but I really prefer the appearance of the 997. I have had five Porsches, three 911's, a 930, and a 944 Turbo, and the 997.2 drives circles around all the others. My GS350 F-Sport feels a lot like the 997, will be a zillion dollars less to maintain, and it makes me happy! Even my thirty year old son thinks it is fantastic.

The steering response is much better, at high speed it is more agile, more confident, I can make better U-TURN and it's almost like a AWD car. I've only logged less than 100 miles and I have not gone over 120mph yet.
I will report more once I logged more seat time in Mexico...

The 997.2 is fairly inexpensive to maintain, you just add 1qt of Mobil1 oil every few thousand miles and take it to the dealership for a 10K oil change.
Famous last words. I have driven an SC400 for almost 19 years with minimal maintenance costs. What Porsche owner can claim that?
