Agreed - that pre-refresh red was actually "Cabernet" and the new one is "Rioja Red." The cabernet was more like a dark, purplish-tinged deep red wine like color whereas the Rioja Red is a racer/sportier bright hue. Definitely a matter of personal preference.

If my car gets stolen, I do not ever want it back. The cops can keep it if they find it and just write me a check for it.
I would definitely get a new one cause It will not be the same. It's been molested beyond ur imagination for sure.
It's good the newer GS has a remote start that shuts off when u breathe near it so nobody can just drive off with it.

I live in the area and can tell you, the Madison Lexus dealership has been great to work with in sales & service from my experience. Have referred friends & coworkers who all have great experiences.
Not sure if that sways your choice, but my 2 cents. Plus those triple headlights are wicked looking I vote for the white one.

Yes. The lux package is really nice. I drove one last week at Carmax but it was in rough shape and there are almost none out there. I only saw two on Car Gurus nationwide and both were in the 50ish thousand mile range. A bit high.
the one thing the Lux is lacking is a deck lid spoiler. The GS really needs one IMO.

I have a 2013 Lux Pack GS350, even has the HUD and other, w only 36k on it. I like the NON F Sport so much more. Most don't but.... I love the Wood vs the Gray scaly looking trim, and don't miss any F Sport features. I certainly don't miss the F Sport Brake maintenance problems.
I went to the Lexus Dealer site for more interior pics on that one. Nice. I wish I had not seen that thing. Started thinking I kind of wanted it. Triple Beans, and HUD and more. Glad it was a AWD and not a RWD. The AWD stops me from making the call.

I'm going to stop clicking links and looking at the car for sale links posted here before someone post a Post Fresh Blk/Blk Lux pack like that in RWD. lol!

The Deck Lid spoiler can always be added. When the GS 4th Gen 1st came out, I thought it had a great Truck end. One car that you don't want to put a Spoiler on. I'm now about to add the Spoiler to mine after all the Years of thinking it was not for that car.

I prefer the wood interior as well, but I just don’t think the non f sport refreshed GS look very good tbh, the pre refresh GS looked so good to me, even the non f sport had such a good looking front end. But the new grille just doesn’t look good to me on the newer ones, I feel like the f sport mesh grille should just have been a stand alone option, the new RX looked really weird with that cheese grater grille and looks much better with the mesh f sport imo. I also think the wheels on the refreshed GS non f sport are just plain ugly. Those can always be changed though and a deck lid spoiler can be added for cheap and I think it makes it look a lot better as well

Since other brands are now having these massive grills - think bmw and Audi. The Lexus grill somewhat is less ugly now than 5 years ago on the GS and RX.
I think this is the art of normalisation from a fashion standpoint.

Can Lexus (SOS button people) not locate your car remotely and disable the ignition? So confused.
