Default Got new 450 and sold it immediately
I was ordered 450h last OCotober. Got the car a few weeks ago at dealership and cancelled the order. Ordered white/red. I didn't know that leather actually not RED but brownish. Yes, it's quiet strange to change LS600 to GS450. So finally I've got ALPINA B7 and happy )))

SOrry, guys. I'm moving out of Lexus forum

I think the OP just did!

Congratulations on your B7! Magnificent car! I was driving an `11 750ix MSport until about 3 weeks ago when I sold it and purchased a Panamera 4S.

JHC. I'll admit I have been disappointed by my $60K car. That being said, I have never tried to compare it to a $130K car and griped about the differences. Good luck!

sounds like you need to test drive before you buy

Every time I see a Panaamera I stop and stare. One of my absolute favorite cars on the road today. And after driving one, it was difficult to look at anything else.

B7 is a hot car,,, congratz. when you ordered SFP/CAB,, did you not see the cab color? i guess not because if you had you would have seen that it is not red,, more like a reddish brown. enjoy that B7,, i know i would.

Well, I ordered GS last october. Nodoby seen the interior those times ) I was driving LS600 and waiting for the new LS. Last week I saw it - it's not totally new model, it's a kind of deeply restyled car. And concerning the price... New GS450h costs in Russia around $110'000, '10 ALPINA B7 around $130'000 so I prefer to buy ALPINA.

Agree 100%! This Panamera is my first Porsche and test driving it was my first time behind the wheel of a Porsche. There are only a few cars I was sure I wanted after a test drive and this was one of them!
