Replying to: asteinberg (Mar 15, 2008 7:55 am) I think the G35 is more comparable to the IS350 than the GS350. I have owned two Lexus' in the past 5 years: the RX350 and GX470 (which I currently own). I must say the quality of Lexus has gone down over the last few years. I've had a number of issues with my GX. I'm shopping for a sedan right now, and I've test-driven the GS350 and the GS460, as well as other cars. I've come to the conclusion that the best car for the money right now is the Cadillac CTS. It's in the same class as the GS for the price of an IS. You can buy a fully loaded CTS for around $41-42k with the performance package and it's a much better value than anything in that price range. I figured why not support a domestic brand since they finally have a great car for a decent value.

Replying to: tntmyth (Mar 15, 2008 7:06 pm) Thanks for all for the advice. I prefer sport, someone in my back seat probably wants luxury. Leather and wood don't matter that much, my kids trash things. But I don't want something tinny, that makes noise or is cheaply and incompetently assembled. Safety is important but the 3 cars below seem simillarly safe. I can afford more, but I want value, related to how much the MSRP is discounted. Then, I need to know interst rate on purchase, vs. interest rate or money factor for lease. I can NOT yet get a fix on those numbers for Cadillac CTS, Lexus GS350, and Infiniti G35. I like all three cars. I've liked my BMW530I performance/handling but find its radio/satellite and navigation system dysfunctional; all three of these cars better in that respect. CTS dealer will install unotrusive blue tooth for $495, which actually is plus, giving me separate screen. Overwhelming numbe of reviews favorable on all my choices, with a few people having problems with each of the three. I don't care about price, nice interior (my kids mess it up). I want performance, user-friendly ergonomics and simplicity (example: quick to turn on defroster without looking for it repeatedly and taking my eyes off the road). Gas mileage is a factor (tired of subsidizing Mideast oil). All three have similar mileage, though G35 a bit better. But CTS uses regular. Thanks, everyone for your patience.

Replying to: asteinberg (Mar 16, 2008 8:03 am) Check the gas mileage specifications on all 3 cars. According to EPA estimates, Lexus GS350 gets the best mileage of the three:   Lexus GS350 19 city 27 highway Infiniti G35 17 city 24 highway Cadillac CTS 17 city 26 highway

Replying to: asteinberg (Mar 16, 2008 8:03 am) Infinitis have the worst gas mileage by far. If your choice is sporty, gas mileage number on the window sticker becomes secondary. It is highly dependent on how the car is driven.
#185 of 284 2008 Lexus GS 350 navigation system by patty17 May 21, 2008 (8:14 am)
I want to be able to override the navigation system so the passenger can use it while the vehicle is being driven. Friends with a 2007 know how to break the code on their vehicle but it doesn't work on the 2008. Anyone know how?

#187 of 284 Dynamic Cruise Control by tom17 May 28, 2008 (6:18 pm)
Replying to: limaks (May 22, 2008 1:40 am) I went looking for a GS350 with the dynamic cruise control option. My local dealer (Melbourne, FL) did not have a single Lexus (even the $120K+ LS600h) with the dynamic cruise control. Salesman said that people are not happy with it so they dont carry it. Has anyone bought a Lexus with this option? Are you happy with it? Salesman said that it is confused by cars in adjacent lanes. Is the system really that bad? I know the local BMW and Infiniti dealers have many cars with the option.   Thanks in advance.
#188 of 284 CD Name & Track Data Display by tom17 May 31, 2008 (6:11 pm)
I just bought a new GS350. What a great car! But when I put my factory CD's (not copies or MP3's), the system does not display the CD name & track info. I can get to the menu where the info is supposed to be but it says "". They work fine when inserted into my PC (displays info for every track). Looked thru the manual which says the data is supposed to be displayed automatically. Anyone seen this before and know the fix? Thanks. Replies to this message: richg44006 (Oct 23, 2008 5:59 pm)

Replying to: patty17 (May 21, 2008 8:14 am) I own a 2007 GS350. How do you break the code?? thanks.
