Default Look what I picked up today........

A Obsidian/Cabernet F Sport AWD. Sorry for the glare but the sun got the best of my camera phone, with these quick shots taken at the dealer.

My transaction went so smooth. I made a call this morning and got the car by this afternoon. Great deal on the F Sport.

It came with :
Navigation
Blind Spot
Park Assist
HUD
Remote Start

The Black/Cab combo along with HUD makes this car a rarity among in stock cars in the Northeast. I wish it had the Mark Levinson, but that is almost impossible to find unless you get a car that was ordered that way and not picked up. Dealers here are just not stocking Levinson in F Sports.

The car drives like a dream. Coming from a G37S, this car is more refined and a lot more luxurious. I could get used to this. Now the only thing it needs it a drop. The wheel spacing on my AWD is almost as bad as my Acadia. Someone please make some springs for the AWD GS's soon !!!

Awesome. With regards to te remote start is there a specific button to start the engine? A pic of your key fob would be great!

Here you go. You press the lock button twice then press a third time and hold it for 3 seconds and the engine starts.

Thanks for the info. Last question. Does the remote give you an audible alert that the car is started? Wondering if its 2-way.

Actually your color combo Red/Cabernet or Red/Black would have been my first choice, but a red F Sport sighting at dealers in the Northeast is like seeing Bigfoot (You hear they exist but, have never seen one on a lot).

No it's not two way. No audible alert. You really have to see the vehicle to know what's happening.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! To just think, as of yesterday morning, I was still up in the air on whether it would be the F Sport or an Infiniti G37 IPL, which prices have never been lower on. I really wanted GS but the Lexus dealers were generally giving a take it or leave it attitude with high lease numbers,but that seemed to change after the summer event started a few days ago........but man was the IPL still going be cheaper.

Great combo. Congrat!

The G37S would be faster but 4GS definitely more luxury. I got both. :-P
