Hey guys, I know these two vehicles are two completely different animals. I am driving a 2010 RX450 H and am pretty sure I am going to bite the bullet on a GS 350 AWD F-SPORT. I would appreciate any advice from owners that may have both vehicles in their household. I have one teen so space probably shouldn't be too much of a concern except maybe our 2 annual trips to florida where she brings a friend with her. Any comments on highway handeling and road noise would be appreciated. I love the RX, however, I have had one since 2003 and kind of ready for a change.

I am getting a Rivera Red but not sure about the interior. I have always had black and like the black, however, the local dealership only had the flaxen interior. How does the black look on this model. Has it gone completely out of style? Would the flaxen get me any better resale.

The options I am looking at are: nav, cold weather, blind spot monitor and clear bra. How does the non Mark Levinson audio sound? I am leaning towards not getting the Mark Levinson. Any advice about what options I should consider would be appreciated. I would also like a remote start that I can start from a long distance so that when I make that 10 minute walk to my car it will be warm. I read the cold weather package has high intensity heat. How long does it take to warm up on a 10 degree day. Thinking of installing a viper or something like that since I don't think the lexus remote will have a long distant start.

Look forward to reading all of the helpful information that this forum provides.
