Great to have another respected member amongst the sophisticated GS crowd. I honestly believe it suits you and your family much better.

Hope you enjoy it. Great color choice. I see that your new GS is the F-Sport version, was your IS a non F-Sport? After you get some mileage on the GS, I'm curious to know how it feels in comparison to the IS.. the one thing that I loved about the IS was how "nimble" and "light" it felt.. like you could just toss it around so easily. The GS is must more planted on the ground, probably due to the added weight.

P.S. - lol @ bclexus. JDR, when it's time for a vehicle "upgrade" for your kids.. I highly suggest this to match your other vehicle

Thanks for the kind words. The GS is way more refined than the IS. The IS was more raw, but so much fun and a great looker. My IS was not an F Sport.

Oh and about that toy RX - actually tried to buy one a couple months back and they were sold out!



It's amazing how few of them there are here. Today I drove it from Everett down to Portland and didn't see even one other GS!
