Dropped into my local Lexus dealer at the weekend to get an update on the delivery date for my Lexus IS250 SEL MM auto, to be told that is not showing on the system with any delivery date yet. = but as I was leaving I walk passed the gorgeous gs300 LE with a notice saying ready for immediate delivery. Took a look at the spec list and could not believe what you get how good it looked. So being the type of person who would go away and have a good think about things..... I cancelled my order for my IS 250 there and then and pick up the GS on 4th September!!!
Have I done the right thing?????

excellent impulse buying

im sure you wont regret it

Yes. I love the new GS

Hi,

Youve stuck with the brand

As fair as i can see all you have done is upgraded

Happy Motoring with the new car

Chips..

Great stuff ........... I would love to get a GS450h

I would get the GS over the new IS

The only thing i think is that the IS sat nav is more advanced.

How much extra wonga?

if i can afford one, i would go for the GS too....

I remember it being something like £37k at the motor show, so a fair amount more

If you think the GS is better looking than the IS, then I'm sure you haven't made a mistake! Won't be as sharp to drive, but is a fair bit quicker I think

Only annoying feature about the GS is the boot opening, but seeing as I don't usually put much in the boot, it wouldn't even really bother me

Make sure you post up pics of the new baby when it arrives

I think the new GS looks a lot better than the new IS so you've made a good choice IMHO

Good call for sure. I'd do the same if I could just justify the cost......

Thought I'd replied to this post last night but obviously not!

You've definitely made the right choice mate, the new GS is loads better than the IS, in fact it's in a whole other league!

Looks a lot nicer too!

The Lexus GS - LE edition is very nice. With only 250 in the country for sale.

Good move - I drove one at the open road event and it is better to drive then the IS (in terms of slightly less road noise, softer suspension etc)...also you get more space...

Hope you haggled hard!!

Sounds like a good decision to me
