Already gentlemen. My curiosity for the Benz has vaporized. I dropped by the dealership after work, test drove it one more time and decided against it. Im sticking with the 14 Fsport that I ordered a few weeks ago.

 

Great choice (but then you already know that). Welcome (again) to the GS F Sport club.

 

I got a text from the local Lexus GM that my 14 GS350 has arrived last night. They are prepping it for delivery, however, I wont be back from work until Monday evening. I've asked him to send my build below:

I've elected to drop LDH & HUD on the 14 and Im liking the folding mirrors option.

 

Thanks for the info. Out of curiosity, did you pay MSRP or were you able to get some kind of a deal? Was Power Trunk an option or is it included?

 

I was enthralled with MB before I joined the Lexus club. However, the sales process and cars left me with something not sitting right. When the special order I had with MB fell through because of their game playing, I can say I'm glad it unfolded the way it did. The MB seems bland in comparison and I know I came out with a vehicle that I will better align with.

All of the german vehicles seem to try and show how good they are with self talk these days instead of showing a good value for what you are paying and backing it up with the experience. An area Lexus seems to shine in.

Post pics when you get it. Would be curious what the power trunk and mirror look like on this vehicle.

 

i cant believe i am jealous of folding mirrors and power trunks

 

Believe it.

 

Is the Power Trunk just an opener or does it also close with the remote fob? I went to a local dealer and they were clueless about that option and said it doesn't exist in the 2014 GS. I thought the 2014 GS would have the power trunk similar to the RX & ES

 

It will have the power trunk, I have heard though that it will be late availability...
