Replying to: shengh (Dec 29, 2006 2:00 pm) again, 27 Hwy/20 City. So it's not bad. I am using 93 Octane too. I hope the MPG improves when I put more milages on the car. My Accord 03EXV6 still gives me 30+MPG/Hwy since the day I took it home. Anyway, my GS saleman told me "don't use the cruise control for the 1st 1000 miles". Just want you to know. Happy New Year.

Replying to: chucko3 (Dec 29, 2006 2:27 pm) I just test drove the GS350AWD. Very quick. Steering has no feel. Tiny trunk. Very quiet and refined. Really couldn't judge handling on the straight roads the test drive was on. M35X not as quick but handled better with far better steering feel. Bigger trunk and interior. More sport than luxury. Better lease. I'm leaning towards the M. |

I owned a gs previously, now m35, bought before the 350 engine was available My question is with the redo of the es, What makes the gs worth 10k more. I guess rear wheel drive is worth having to some people, but realistically most buyer dont care. What do you guys see as the value in the gs. I think it looks better, but the es is not so bad anymore

Replying to: mechrad1 (Jan 02, 2007 11:09 am) As for the Lexus ES vs GS, I've driven both and it is a difficult decision. Aesthetically, I like the ES interior but the GS' exterior. Mechanically, I prefer the RWD of the GS (but then, the ES has a softer ride). I see more differences between the Lexus models then that of Infiniti. |

Replying to: mechrad1 (Jan 02, 2007 11:09 am) What makes any car 10k more than any other car? Marketing hype?  I don't know that it's worth 10k more... but I personally liked the GS much better than the ES both in looks and handling.

Replying to: mechrad1 (Jan 02, 2007 11:09 am) I test drove both ES & GS. GS is more responsive with the gas pedal and feels more luxurious. What turned me away from the ES are 1. The tail lights. They look like Camry's. 2. The dealer didn't accept my offer of $2500 above the invoice price (with the UL+ML package). |

I just finished the purchase of my Verdigris Green GS 350 here in Atlanta. Got just a hair under 10% off of the MSRP, with the NAV, and premium package. Only major option it did not come with was the Levinson radio but the one it has standard is quite good. Trunk I agree could have been a bit larger, but it holds my golf clubs and thats all that matters to me. Enough room in back for 2 adults and the fit and finish of this car is first rate. When it comes to the ES 350, ask yourself - do you want comfort first, with some decent horsepower? Or do you want horsepower, better road handling and to ride in a posh cockpit? If you answered the latter, dont kid yourself and get the ES 350, you will be dissappointed. On the other hand, if you want a gussied up Camry, the ES 350 is for you. |

I'm in the market for a new car for my fiance and we've narrowed down our choice to either the new Acura MDX or GS350 RWD. I know these cars are totally different but I'd like any opinions from the Lexus owners on the GS. When I drove it I wasn't completely impressed with the performance. It was good but it didn't feel like a car that has 303 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque. It was very comfortable and the interior was pretty nice. I'd also like to hear about anyone's buying experience. In particular, nbgandari, if you could let me know about yours that would be great. I'm in Atlanta too. The folks at Nalley Lexus in Roswell are sort of irritating me.
