#3 of 285 GS350 has arrived by ghraia Aug 26, 2006 (6:21 pm)
I drove a GS350 yesterday. Wheels (17") are the same as 06. Extra power is nice, but I thought the 300 was adequate. The car I drove had Yokohama tires -- much noisier than the 300 with Dunlops. Cars look exactly the same inside and out. Sticker says 29 highway mpg vs 30 for the 300. MSRP on fully loaded car is about $300 less than the 300.
#4 of 285 No GS460 for 07 by andy82471 Aug 30, 2006 (9:49 am)
There is no GS430 for 07. Why would anyone buy the GS430 over the more powerful and economical GS350

Replying to: pearl (Aug 15, 2006 6:01 pm) They are already for sale on Lexus Website no other changes other than upgraded engine. My opinion they should have upgraded wheels/suspension to accomodate more horsepower. Wheels are wimpy compared to ES & IS.
#6 of 285 It is surprising to me that.... by pearl Sep 26, 2006 (12:48 pm)
the new GS350 is generating so little comment on these boards. If this is any indication of the overall level of interest, we should see prices come off MSRP quickly and significantly. Replies to this message: pat (Oct 11, 2006 4:36 am)
#7 of 285 Might be because ... by fogdog88 Oct 10, 2006 (5:48 pm)
When I went to test drive a GS350 they "lost the keys" ... and could only promise a drive a couple of day later . Go figure, but I guess some people do buy a car without driving it.

Replying to: pearl (Sep 26, 2006 12:48 pm) One thing that might be going on is that the discussion was only categorized as "Lexus", so if someone was specifically searching for the GS 350, this discussion would not turn up (depending on how they searched). I have corrected that. We don't have a category yet for the 460.

Does anyone know of a link to a picture of the dash without the nav. system? Thanks
#10 of 285 GS350 VS ES350 by dunde71 Oct 26, 2006 (6:44 pm)
I dont see why people would want to buy a GS350 AWD. Its about 9K more than ES350. Only advantage is that it has AWD and has 30 hp more. Its a smaller car ... rear leg space is cramped ... a big hump between the 2 rear seats .. smaller trunk ... no full size spare option. It does not seem justifiable to me to pay 9k more just for AWD and 30 extra horses with so many other things lacking. Any comments ?

Replying to: dunde71 (Oct 26, 2006 6:44 pm) two quick reasons: 1) no matter how much lipstick you put on it, some will always see the ES as a glorified Camry and won't want their "upscale $$" spent that way, and 2) even if it loses nearly every comparo vs. the other LPS sedans, some will see the GS as a "sports car" and therefore justify the cost that way. There is little sanity when buying cars or falling in love. People can justify almost anything they put their minds to and then argue with anyone who disputes them. That's one reason why message boards like this thrive. Replies to this message: chucko3 (Oct 27, 2006 7:25 am)

Replying to: pearl (Oct 26, 2006 7:20 pm) That's why I bought the GS350 instead of ES350. You can't even tell the rear end between the two cars until you come close to it. Buying a fully loaded Camry XLE still gives plenty of cash left.
