press the voice buttom on the wheel then hit the help icon on the screen and it will lit all the different commands. Its an impressive list.

TY - you would think the salesman would have known this. I'll go back and try it.

Is this list available on the web any where?

I took the GS out for a test drive and my sales guy didn't seem to know too much about the Voice Commands for this car.

I've done a test drive on the Acura RL and the Infinity M35X and they both have lots of cool voice commands:

Turn radio on/off

Change radio station

Change radio volume

Turn Air Conditioner on/off

Change the temp

Change the fan speed

It was a zoo at the Lexus dealer yesterday so I'm guessing another visit is in order, but if any current owners can answer this kind of thing I would really like it.

Thanks!!!

Mazda or Civic?  Sporty ride?  :chairshot:

Thanks everyone on your help. I have to admit I'm a bit bummed, but will go take a test drive on Saturday. I knew the LS would give a better ride, and was thinking I wanted something a bit more fun to drive.

I'm not not really real fond of the ES and recently someone told me the LS was an old lady car. I'm starting to think they might be correct.

I have already tested the new '05 Acura RL AWD and that car was really nice, but I think the lines on the '06 GS are nicer - am planning on checking out what Infinety has in this price range. The cockpit area on the RL is really high tech looking much more so than the GS.

One reason I wanted to stay w/ Lexus is they are so dependable and so nice to ride in.

As for a Mazda or Civic I don't think so.

I got my first Lexus about a month ago... :D The sell told me he just had the AC recharged.  It worked great, then I got into the car yesterday, and hot air.  The climate temp says 69, but it feels like 169!  I did the diagnostic code, and came up with 00, all systems go.  I don't know if they used R-12 or what?  My 400 is a 1990 with 180000...

any suggestions???

I hate to tell you this but the AC in those early models had issues. I had the same issue on my '91 LS. Bite the bullet and replace it.

Sorry to be blunt, but been there done that.

Hi all,

I'm a new member of this forum, but have been a long time Lexus owner.

I have had 2 LS400s and am considering buying the new GS300 AWD.

I wondering if any past LS owners have purchased the new GS and what are your thoughts.

My reason for switching to the GS is our son will be off in college next year and we won't need a car that big any longer not that the GS is small.

I am also feeling the need for something a bit more sporty as I approach the big

5-0.

I know I want the DVD nav system and all that comes with that package, but am undecided on the other big options like the parking system. I'm also sorry a Sirius Satellite radio isn't an option as I will need my Howard Stern fix come January.

As for colors I'm leaning towards the Glacier Frost with Ash interior, but that color seems to change in different lights from white to gray to blue. The Glacier White seems closer to my first LS which was a pearl white and I love that car. Cystal White seems a bit bright. My son says Mercury is just tooo silver, but I like it even thought all new cars in DC are either silver or black. I asked about the Cypress and the dealer told me it was really "rare" - that seems a bit odd.

Any help would be appreciated.
