#15 of 20 GS any time. by lazer Nov 20, 2007 (10:05 am)
Forget about brands, let's talk about cars. A8 has a biggest cabin 528 has sporty handling GS 350 is most luxurious, has the best engine of three, has most comfortable ride and is most reliable. I had no [problem of making a choice after driving them all a couple of times. I got white 2008 GS350 AWD fully loaded with light beige interior. The best car I ever had!!!

Replying to: lazer (Nov 20, 2007 10:05 am) I drive a BMW 5 series RWD and a GS AWD.   I agree the Lexus feels more Luxurious however I am not 100% happy as they improved the road feedback trying to make it more sporty. Making the tires noisy for a Lexus.A lot of buyers might like the feedback and new sporty GS.   I did not expect it to be all in one.I feel It falls between being Sporty and luxury. I would have still preferred to be removed from the road and elements. Personally prefer the new ES 350 for its cushy and roomier ride( I tried it as a Loaner car from my dealership) and was blown away even if it lacked in options and an asserting sporty ride. It felt quieter than my GS. What an improvement Lexus had made in it compared to the earlier year models ( 2007).I must admit I haven't driven the new GS 2008/2009. I am comparing it with my 2006 GS Replies to this message: adamjmank (Dec 12, 2008 2:51 pm)

#18 of 20 Audi vs. BMW 5 Series?? by gardis Nov 16, 2008 (4:18 pm)
I looked at Audi today. I cannot figure out, is the A4 the same size as a 3 series BMW? And the A6 would be the equivalent to the 5 series? Although the A6 looks longer somehow. To me the A4 lookoed bigger than the 3 series. I want a car that's roomier than the 3 series which I currently drive. I prefer the 5 series, but want to be sure of what I'm doing. Thanks Guys. How's Audi on the mechanicals? I keep cars a long time. Are they good cars? Replies to this message: tayl0rd (Nov 25, 2008 12:38 pm)

Replying to: gardis (Nov 16, 2008 4:18 pm) The new A4 is bigger than the 3-series, but they still compete in the same class.   A4 = 3-series = C-class = IS A6 = 5-series = E-class = GS A8 = 7-series = S-class = LS

Replying to: satyarg (Sep 16, 2008 9:14 am) I feel the same way, about the GS 350. I drove the new ES as a loaner Car when I dropped my GS for service. I felt the ES was even quieter than and more roomier inside than my GS 350.  I even parked them side by side and the GS is longer and taller in exterior dimensions. If only I knew Lexus would bring the ES to these levels, I would have waited and saved big- almost 10- 12 K.   Coming to BMW vs Lexus- The Beemer 5 series is much sportier than the Lexus in looks and handling. however my GS 350 is much luxirious inside ( the 5 series is bland in comparision once inside). The ride is a lot comfier, silent, the controls are made with almost flawless precision and the stability control is awesome. The only complaint I have is there is a HUMP in the Back seat leg room space which in not comfortable for three adults in the back on long drives. The ES does not have this do not know why the japanese geniuses included it in a large car like the GS.   I myself brouht the GS 350 AWD because it was less expensive than the 5 Xiseries and am Happy with the gas mileage 29 m/gallon on highways for AWD and the compromise it offers between luxury and handling. It finally comes to personal preference as both are very good.
