Thought you guys would get a kick out of this:



One of my business partners just leased a 2015 F Sport, here are our GS's at the office this morning. Ultra White with Flaxen.

I never really spent much time looking at the F Sport, as I'm not a sporty car kind of guy, but I'm impressed by how it rides (haven't driven it, just ridden in it). I love the updates to the nav for 2015, all in all a nice improvement in tech. I like the Ultra White too...very sharp.

Looks good!!

White F Sport w/ Flaxen is rare. Very interesting.

Maybe you should give the F Sport some thought as to your next vehicle. I mean it would be just enough different than what you have to make since getting another GS... Or even the refreshed GS F Sport. Consider it!!

until you see how slow the 2015 system is. quite annoying.

i agree with you, i don't like the aluminum trim in fsport (but at the same time i am not a big fan of the matte wood either). and i do think the fsport rides very comparable to luxury

Wouldn't know, I just played with it for a couple minutes.

Same, I prefer the gloss wood in mine.

I wish they would give us some options for trim, like BMW does.

Yeah I agree, trim options would be nice. I really like the black piano trim found around the drive mode ****. I would like to have primarily. Or something like carbon fiber.

i worked on some 2013 gs and i was shocked how fast the system is. boot up was fast, changing channels fast. command response fast. everything

got back in my car and i feel like it's running a 486 (for those old enough to understand this)

yes, i would love if they run piano black trims

but you know, i basically figured it's somewhat design flaw. they can't run anything shiny because of the angle and it creates very bad glare. even with the current fsport aluminum trim, depending on the time and driving direction, the trims can be reflecting very annoying sunlight

for sure better than the aluminum cf trim in the ISF. i have to see and feel it in person

Weird, have you brought this up to the dealer?

I remember that when the 4GS first came out with the aluminum trim. My glossy linear espresso wood doesn't cause any glare.

My trim glare all the time. Sometimes it's hard to see my mirrors when it's glaring.
