Default My GS F sport

Long time BMW and MB guy here. Just traded in my MB E350 for the GS F sport. Did a lot of research and it came down to the Audi A6, BMW 535, and the GS F sport. I chose the Lexus for many reasons.

One, the value you get. I would have to have paid about $10K more for a comparable Audi or BMW.

Two, I love the aggressive lines of the GS. I just think it looks mean and sleek.

There are other reasons including the fact that my wife has had 5 Lexus vehicles over the last 12 years with ZERO issues and our dealership is close to our house.

I just took delivery of my F-Sport after looking at the exact same list of cars. One really annoying thing with the German cars was they all now shut the engine down when the car comes to a stop to get their mileage numbers up. You can overide the default setting, but you have to do it every time you start the car. Talk about electonic nanny's

I also chose the GS over a BMW (4 series). Congrats!

@revhigh yea that is an annoying feature, but I know that the BMW dealer will disable it for free now.

Congrats! I've had my Liquid Platinum F Sport since April 2012 and love the color more every time I see it. It really stands out with the wheels. You'll also notice that it even looks great on cloudy days and in the rain. Very easy to keep clean too.

I traded in an Audi S5 Cab and never even considered the Germans. Well done!

Looking good man. 3 things you'll like more about the Lexus vs. Ze Germans.

1. Less trips to the dealership.
2. Higher resale value.
3. One of the best interiors in the business.

I hope you got the Mark Levinson stereo also. It continues to amaze me and has me buying 5.1 surround audio DVD's now. It is really out of this world.

Well said, and yes, the Mark Levinson system is amazing.
