Thanks all. Appreciate the welcome. I'm getting a rear entertainment system put in the headrests but they dont have the leather color yet for it (flaxen). Once they get put in, I'll post some pics and specs on the roll-call.
Still feel a bit like a hypocrite after espousing on the virtues of my HS tho... /rolleyes

Pole Position
The design of the HS always made me shake my head and wonder where the Lexus brand/design was going.
What was the positioning of this car (HS), anyway? A mystery to me....and obviously a mystery to Toyota as well as it is now dead.

Congrats!
But just to clarify before some smart-a*s flames you... you have a 4GS F-Sport. When people reference GSF here, they are talking about a rumored model which will be a performance car like the ISF.

Um, not gonna happen. This GS is the most expensive car I've ever owned and will remain so for some period of time.
When I went to pick up my GS there actually was an LFA in the lot. I took a good look at it and decided at 300+K and no back seats, I would prefer something else if I could afford that much -- some Italian brands come to mind.
The inside of the LFA had the same materials and style of the GS... go figure.

Its not what you think....
I was a member of the HS250 CL forum and wrote a long post about how I love the HS250 after one of my buds on the forum, just traded his in. In fact, he wrote a long post about why he decided to get something else. Well, after 2 yrs, i'm ashamed to admit I joined him.
I couldn't help it. OMG. I have an hour commute to work and LOVED the HS for its 38+ mpg), but dang, I don't recall how many times I got in front of a semi and for the life of me, couldn't get out of its way. The motor on the HS sounded like a Singer Sewing machine, the car was accelerating as fast as it could, but the MACK logo kept getting larger and larger in the rear-view mirror. I'm pretty sure I even saw a KIA soul pass me.
So.. with a few dealer incentives, I took the plunge and man, I coudnt be happier. The 4GSF-Sport is fast, accelerates like a rocket and fuel mileage is decent (high 20s on the fwy). I DO miss the mpgs and it would be better for my needs if my commute was in stop-n-go traffic in the city, but in the end, the HS was not the right car for me.
So, like a traitor to his country, I proudly say, I LOVE my GS350 F-Sport!
Now, if I can only learn to not snap my head back when I press the gas.

Funny how that works. There's this saying that the more you complain about something, the more likely you will own it or have it a part of your life.
