Thumbs up GS450h just landed on Guam!!! (review and pics pg 2)

The Lexus sales manager just called me to inform me that they received the GS450h. The car is schedule to be cleaned this weekend. Going to check it out on Monday. The car has already been sold. Will know the price on monday also. Can't wait to check it out and hopefully they will let me take it out for a quick spin.

Shortly. Soon. With past experience US gets the new model 2 to 3 weeks after Guam.

I really hope they will let me test drive it even though it is sold!!!

The dealer order a few but Lexus only ship 1 for this month. Most of the allocation is going to the states.

Dealer knows I am patiently waiting for the GS460. If the GS450h is all that is hype up to be I may just get the GS450h. My car is exactly 5 years old today!!!.

If I bought a car, and they let someone else test drive it, I'd be very unhappy

The pics on this site are from cars made for testing and for the Press. The actual model for sale might be slightly different inside. I'd like to see the interior pics of the wood grain in particular. Also, see if you can get a shot of how many miles are on the car when you're in it. Last, see if there's a shark fin antenna on the top of the car. That's wishful thinking. The test model in Japan had it but it appears the U.S. Versions won't. Thanks Chu!

That's why I'd like Chu to take a picture of the odometer so when my car arrives in California, I can match the miles up. I'd be pissed if all the salespeople and their VIP clients were doggin my NM Edition before I pick it up. As a matter of fact, I told the general manager that their better not be more than 10 miles on it when I get it. He assured me he'd watch it as if it were his own. We'll see......

Chu will take a picture AFTER his test drive but make sure it's still under 10 miles

Hope they will let you take 'er out for a drive. I am headed to NJ this weekend to spend some wheel time with the GS450h and the ES350. I will post impressions as soon as my vital signs return to normal and allow me to type. All this and the LS600h in a couple of weeks in NYC, is there a better time to be a Lexus enthusiast??
