Default 2014 Lexus GS350 F-Sport - Back to the Lexus Family

Want to introduce myself back to the Lexus Forums. Used to have a 2006 IS350 and was pretty active here up until I switched over to a '11 Audi A4 and then a '11 Infiniti G37S. Just got a '14 GS350 about a month ago with the help of Pocky and it's definitely great to be back to the Lexus family. My old IS350 I miss which NItto featured.




Now 2014 GS350 F-Sport. Just did a vinyl wrap on the roof and the front. Now just deciding on parts to get next.




1-2-15 *Updated*
Updated with black accents to the rear spoiler and added roof spoiler as well..







Adding RSR Down springs and possibly Invidia Exhaust soon..

Same here. It's always fun to hear opinions and reviews of other brands. I loved my plasticky interior 2004 G35 sedan although it doesn't hold a candle to my GS350 F. I do miss that rawness though and the eager 5 speed transmission sometimes, until I snap back to reality.

Hey, congratulations on a beautiful car! We went similar routes. I left Lexus for a series of Infinitis and Audis and didn't consider coming back until I test drove the 4GS. That's all it took! Still loving it after 2 1/2 years.

Welcome back! Just like the saying... "Once you have a Lexus, you can't go back" In your case, You went away to other brands and then came back. Do you notice a huge difference between all of these cars? Performance-wise???

Thank you. I've always leased the cars I've had. I did think about keeping the IS, but I've never been able to stick with one car for too long.

Audi A4 Quattro - Great looks which is why I chose this car. Only thing I didn't get was S-line. Unfortunately the 3.0 models they didn't make anymore so I only had the 2.0 to choose from. Performance wasn't as great and mixed it with Quattro I think was a bad combination. Though with the MMI Navigation, truly a great system and great interior but I really missed the performance. After 1 year, I decided to trade it in to get a G37S.

Infiniti G37S Sedan - Great overall car IMO. Quick, great handling and great interior though I thought Audi's interior was a step ahead. I really did like the 3D Nav which is something the new GS doesn't have. I was disappointed at the reviews of the Q50S which is why after the lease, I decided to go back to Lexus because of the direction they were going.

Hopefully soon I can get this GS modded to where I want it. Overall love this car and this might be a keeper!

Great! I used have 2007 IS350 and back to 2014 GS350 F Sport.
IS was pretty nice car but this GS is just a beast!

Like yourself, I did my laps with the Euro brands, it's nice to be back with "rice".

Haha. Does feel good actually from the service and not having to worry about the car breaking down.

I've always wanted to step over to the dark side but posts like this make me think twice. Hopefully the refresh is nice enough for me to get a 4GS again. Car looks great by the way.
