Here's a car where I was reserving judgment until I saw one in person.

Well, I’ve now seen one in person, and the judgment has been passed.

Gimme.

Definitely agree

For the amount of cash they’re asking ($95k CAD), it better be good.

EDIT: Okay, it’s cheaper than that because of $7500 in cash incentives, but still.

Sexus.

How does the Des Moines car scene compare to the Omaha car scene? When I was in Des Moines in June, I was staying on Fleur Dr, where we saw a Nissan GT-R, a 991 Turbo S and a Bentley Flying Spur. This is all in a three day period, too.

You should drive one. It’s even better than you think.

Best car Lexus makes right now.

In addition to the cars that I’ve posted pics of, I’ve seen an early 70s 911 targa, and 80's Bentley Mulsanne, an Alfa 4C, and others.

Super fun high cruiser. Thing is a monster at 80mph pulls.

You’re from Iowa, aren’t you? I can tell by your spelling of the word judgment.

They would get the best Lexus in beige. The blue is amazing. The orange is baller. The beige though... cmon.

That’s a fantastic selection. Downtown Des Moines is lots of fun, too.

Damn that looks way better than a normal (and silver) IS.

Oh yes. I can’t wait to try Zombie Burger.

Just since I commented with the former list of cars I got passed by a new black Aston Martin Vantage and a Lamborghini Gallardo roadster.

Eh, I got it right once and wrong once. Nobody’s perfect.

And actually, nope I’m not.

It’s actually not bad in person. It’s like a gunmetal grey with a slight goldfish tint. It’s a good beige.

It’s also not an IS. But yeah, it looks fantastic.

I’ll take it. I’ve seen a few in real at the dealer but never in real life.

That’s atomic silver and it’s one of the best colors ever. Looks AMAZING in sunlight.

Right? Beige my ass. Shit looks like bare metal in the sunlight.

I need to see this in person. Might run to the Lexus dealer here soon.

By that logic, it is fair because I’m sober.

It’s the best looking Lexus today by far in my opinion, but Miata is (almost) always the answer, and that stands here. That, or the Supra...if I don’t have a full adult life by the time it comes out...

All I know is once my Lexus allowance kicks in, whichever one I get, it'll be atomic silver.

My dream garage is a LX, RC-F, GS-F, and LS600HL or whatever the top of the line is. LFA if I’m spoiling myself.

I wouldn’t mind driving it one bit.

But I wouldn’t put my own money on it to buy one new. Or slightly used.

Maybe when they’re like 15 grand and still running great...maybe.

The S7 with Nardo Grey/Sepang Blue on the other hand.....Gimme.

We have one at my dealership. my wife wants to replace her IS350 F-sport with it. Only problem is the $87000 price tag....

I thought that was the only way Oppo bought anything?

I drove one for a week, in a violent shade of orange.

This one is way better.

I can see those cars becoming underappreciated gems in a few years: they will be rare, surprisingly fun to drive, comfortable and probably more reliable than an E63 or an M5.

I agree that it is a good looking car, however I am not entirely convinced it will age as well as past GS’s. Still would not be my first choice if I had that kind of coin to drop on a car though...
