Default '13-15's GS's are everywhere

I'll leave my house and within 5 mins I'll see like 3 or 4 lol.

Before I got my GS back in December I don't remember seeing many. Only noticed the dime a dozen IS 250's and RX 350's.

I always heard that the GS wasn't a great selling new car, seems like the '13-15's have gotten really popular in the used market. People have caught on lol.

I've seen a large number of GS 350s over the years in the Dallas Metroplex area.

Just a couple days ago I had one in front of me and another one beside me at a two-turn lane intersection while we waited on the light to change.

People finally realized what the GS is about and started buying now.

That's usually how it goes, when still in production nobody buys but now it's out of production, everyone is lining up to buy.

Makes no sense. The number of GS on the road have remained the same for the last 2 years since they have gone out of production. In fact less as some are crashed and written off.

I think that's even more prevalent with the GS 450h.

More affordable now than when most like me got them for a $60k plus car when new that held good resale value over the years.

Personally, have always felt this is more of a "take notice" phenomenon. As soon as you own a car or are in-tune with a specific car, you tend to notice it more on the road. Before you bought the GS, you'll never "see" it...but as soon as you own one, you see others all the time

One of the reasons I bought the GS was because how rarely I saw them. I definitely noticed before I even had one.
I initially was going to go for an IS 350, but I was tired of seeings IS's everywhere I went

Agreed on not wanting a car everyone else has (kinda like seeing everyone wearing the same sneakers or same hat)...whenever I see another 4GS, i always think that person has great taste!

It happens with every Gen of GS. When they get cheap enough for the Civic guys you will see them everywhere

I really hope they don't turn the GS into rice boxes. The IS is painful enough to see already. Just leave the 4GS out of the nonsense.

Funny, I recently saw 5 or 6 GS's in the last two days here in CT in the Danbury area.
One was modded up quite nice.
Usually if I see 1 its a lot.

Six months ago I was very fortunate to have found a mint condition almost new 2018 GS 450h with only 5k miles on it. It still only has 7k miles on it. It's definitely special - I really like it!
