Saw my first GS450h Lexus today

Frank Hudon · 07-19-2006, 09:57 PM

in good old Burnaby B.C. Graphite gray looked like black leather and a silver hair dude behind the wheel. Gotta admit that is one sweet looking ride. As I passed him in my Classic I'd have to say he's trying for mileage. Doing the speed limit and not powering away from the lights. If it wasn't so expensive I might reconsider my retirement program. Maybe if I win the lotto. No definatley if I win the lotto.

ooooh. cool! there's a guy in my parking lot at work who currently drives an r400h and is first on the list for a gs450. i can't wait to see one in person!

Hey! Coincidently I saw my first HiCam in the wild this afternoon.

I saw a RX400h on my street and I'm sure the realestate agent who drives it was wondering what the H I was doing underneath it on the street. But never said a thing. No HyCam's or HiHy's yet. If I didn't know better my guess on the 450 is it was a Toyota "wig" as that was the route he was on. But it's a sweet looking car. I'd almost be willing to have my Classic painted that colour. It was sharp.
Edit: the colour was Flint Mica

Hmm, there's two GS450h then. I saw a silver one long time ago in Oakridge Centre driven by a mother and her young kid (booster chair). Nice of her and lucky kid.

this was coming from the 91 on to Marine Way Think I just might cruise the Toyota headquarters over on Westminister Hwy and see if I can see it over there. If so I'll do my usual crawl underneath it.

say Tideland do you know what the HV battery voltage is on these cars?
