After much deliberation I picked up this 2015 GS. Man... what a fun drive! Picked it for for 21,800 and traded in my '04 Porsche Cayenne that was on its last legs. I plan on enjoying this for a long time!

Here's a couple of pics. What do you guys think about these rims? At first I wasn't sure but I think they're growing on me.
Chrome was the culprit. Here are the pics!

I'm chomping at the bit over here - can't wait to see! I've never loved getting into a car as much as I do getting into my 2015 GS350 RWD

Congrats on the takedown!

Congrats! Absolutely love that color and wished it came in the F-SPORT. Wheels aren't my style but if you like them, that's all that matters!

Any plans for it or keeping things stock?

Those rims aren't my cup of tea, resembles the last gen Accord Sport wheels, but I can see how others might like them.

Sweet color though, both inside and out! (Looks like the interior could use a detail though)

And forget F Sport... You got yourself a Luxury model! Very nice ride! Props!

Oh man, that is the exact color combo I wanted. I ended up with a 2013 silver with flaxen interior... the blue cars are rare, especially if you want the luxury package as well. That blue looks real nice. Great move on the luxury package... I'm happy I took the time to seek out a luxury model, the headlights are amazing, among other things. Wheels aren't really my cup of tea, but if you like them/can live with them, that's all that matters. Enjoy the car!

Oh, does it have the Mark Levinson system?

yes it has the ML sound system. Sounds pretty good. Im a recording engineer by trade so I am hyper sensitive to stuff like that. The "treble" is a little hyped and the Bass is a little loose to my ears. As long as the bass slider is not tweaked too far it holds up. Very nice balance and sound at normal volumes. As far as the wheels go, I'm not decided yet. Funny thing is I've been driving it for a couple of days and have had several comments... without exception its "I love that color" and "man I like those wheels". I would have never picked them out of a catalog but I don't guess I mind them too much.

Great choice on the Lux Package - rare combination you have with the Deep Sea Mica color , Flaxen AND Lux Package...Rims don't seem like a good fit in my opinion but as long as you like it!

Congrats and Enjoy!

I guess I just got lucky because I didn't know this was the "luxury package" when I made the deal. How do you know that's what I have based on these pics? Believe me I'm thrilled, just wondering what the tells were? it has the l12" screen, ML sound system, rear sun shade, those crazy headlights that turn with you (pretty cool), heated/cooled front seats, etc...

Did you check out the ML thread yet? Not much anyone here can teach a recording engineer, but there might be a setting or two you may be unaware of...
