Picked it up today!
I'm another excited new owner of a GS 2017! I traded in a 2009 Convertible. It will take a bit of getting used to not having a convertible, I loved that car never had an issue with that car but something about the GS that made me give it up.
But WOW! It's a pretty big difference between the Infotainment systems, I see some complaints about the Nav in these cars but they are sooo much better than the 09. Also I have a Ford and it charges to update as well so I expect it. And I'm one that doesn't like to use my Nav on my phone while driving so glad it's much better than the last time.
Question though. Shouldn't the valve stems have matching colors? I have black wheels but green plastic valve caps, did they forget to give me the correct ones?? Or do I really have to buy valve caps? If so where's a good place to get black?
Thanks!!

I made the same move. I had an 09'Vert and got a GS coupe I have had it for 3 maybe 4 months and put about 800 miles on it due to the weather here in NY. Spring is here and I hope to really enjoy the heck out of the car! As others have said we need some pictures so to appreciate what you bought!

Thanks again.
Sorry on the pics but I really didn't take a pic when it was in the showroom which was the perfect opportunity and I'm too embarrassed by my garage to take a pic in it! lol But you can take my word for it that it is the most beautiful one out there. lol!! jk
