Replying to: 2001gs430 (May 03, 2008 4:24 am) Indeed. Making a lightweight car with a big V8 at the front and RWD at the back have good performance really isn't terribly difficult, though it took Chevy until the '97 C5 to produce a Vette that could properly handle a corner. The GT-R isn't a lightweight car. It shouldn't decimate the likes of Ferrari and Porsche, but it does. That's down to brilliant engineering, which has always been a GT-R hallmark. |

Replying to: houdini1 (May 03, 2008 7:59 am) Which is only relevant information if you are buying the hybrid. As I've said on many occasions, the hybrid version is not indicative of the quality of the regular GS versions, especially the AWD version. Even if the GS450h is simultaneously declared the most reliable car in the history of the automobile by every journalist on the planet, that still doesn't get around the fact that Lexus can't produce a reliable GS AWD, or any other GS that isn't specially hand built like the hybrid. The quality (according to CR) actually went down for 2007. The Infiniti M35x is likely to be much more reliable than the GS350 AWD, as is, shockingly, the Audi A6.

Replying to: lexusguy (May 03, 2008 12:45 pm) I thought so. That is why I posted it.

Replying to: houdini1 (May 03, 2008 12:49 pm) Well than that begs the question, why would you want a GS? Not only is it not particularly good at anything, but its quality is also lousy, and in your opinion, its over priced. But other than that its fantastic? Has your wife driven the M, A6, or XF, and compared?

Replying to: lexusguy (May 03, 2008 12:53 pm) I simply think, after driving one for two weeks that the GS is a pretty good car. I did not buy one but I might in the future. Go out and drive one for yourself. I also like Acuras.
