New Gs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

walking in the parking lot after work yesterday....ran across this brand new lexus GS....me and my friend stop to admire it...then...my other co worker came up.....sure enough! its hers!!!!!!!!!!!made her open the door and we got in for a tour... damn nice!!!!! inside door panel light that come on is HID color... where our little blue light on top that shines down is HID color... the blue light at our center console , well on the GS they have 2 of them shine down to driver and passengers feet is HID! and they made it so it doenst look like cheap rice kind...

the whole car's lighting bath you in this elegant jazz bar kind of mood............the most of all...it also has that ENGINE START button... i always known about this feature.. but it feels different to be actually NOT taking out a key and press this button..........................

PRICE? GS 300..... she got everything included, GPS and the whole 9 yard.. 52K out of door im starting to wonder if she works at the same place I do

I think I feel way more better & comfortable to own a fully payoff house that cost more than 10 brand new M3 and driving my TSX than my next door that carrying a $500000+ mortrage and driving a leasing M3.

Hey, you officers in LA deserve some hazard pay. The idiots that you all put up with should give you the ability to afford expensive cars... here in Cincinnati, OH, a TSX always gets me the... "Wow this is a luxury car. I thought it was just a 4 dr RSX." Of course I'm like... "idiot."

Sweet GS, but not exactly great price. What a rip, I really would rather get an RL loaded it's faster than the GS300 or an M45 loaded it would probably be a little less or the same price as the fully loaded GS300.

Toyota err I mean Lexus has gotten their luxury name in their heads. Yes, they're the best dependability and reliablity, but I'd still rather pimp a BMW, Porsche, or Mercedes for that $52K instead.

hmm..thats interesting. NO doubt the GS is an amazing car. Its Japanese so it makes sense.

However, what I dont like is this,

"made her open the door and we got in"

Using a little bit of your power in a wrongful manner I see.

I think both RL and GS have nice interiors. Depending on your taste... As for me? However, the GS ext is a bit more aggressive than the RL and its START button will defenitely a nice feature to have just because its the latest and greatest.... not good enough excuse but what can I say?

Then again, no one can really compare to the RL's all wheel drive.....
You are right they're ultimately Hondas and toyotas.... when it comes down to choosing one of the two, I'd go with the RL because I'm a Honda lover. I've had nothing but Hondas ever since I started driving.
