Great post.

Agree on rear it is not as good as IS. IS is just has this timeless design.

Still I'm slowly falling in love with new GS. So far all reviews are very possitive.

One my favorites: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/1206_six_cylinder_midsize_luxury_sedans/

In July-Aug 11 friend got IS350 F-Sport with moonroof and extended warranty. 75k on road.

This is buying from the same Sydney dealer who is a pleasure to deal with. Got 2 cars from them and now planning 3rd purchase. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Post some pictures and welcome.

Had a look at new GS last weekend. No test drive but spent about 10 minutes inside 350 F-Sport:

* Love the alloy finish

* More space for things next to driver compare to IS

* Massive boot again compare to IS

* Very quick menu and response of system/NAV

* Remote touch, somewhat compromised - I prefer 1st gen with side buttons. May be I need to get used to it

* Seat - magnificent, limitless adjustements

* Interior looks more special than 5 series (never been a fun of MB 100s of buttons)

* Front looks very good in person, rear is average (I prefer 5 series tail lights)

Eager to test drive it.

lexus does the programming or can we do it?

I bought this card and Lexus didn't want to touch it, have it at home.. happy to give to anyone who can get it working.

I will try to make it, my first meet that would be :)

Have a friend with IS350 who might tag along.

Hi Lexus owners (or soon to be),

Some picks of my Lex, hope to pick up a bit of info on this forum as I needed it. Like new GS and looking forward to test drive.

On second photo, IS350 Black is my mates car.
