Will I be loosing alot in terms of performance?
You know... same engine... bigger/heavier car and all...
I know there's GS450 for that... but my budgets kinda limited...

GS350 is no slouch 0-60 in 5.6-5.7 I hear, the IS is 5.1-5.2 but you have less space. GS350 will sell very well, 303 hp is more than plenty for most people

First... I was looking at IS250...
Then I consider Infiniti G35 since it has bigger engine for same price...
Then I switch to IS350 since I want Lexus and it's only few grand more...
Now.... GS300...
Ahhhg.... I can't stop myself!!!!

IS350 faster than the gs350 and g35 and it handles better too and you dont sacrifice any luxury. And its cheaper than the GS.

IS350 $38K.... GS300 $46K.... 07 GS350 should be more, huh?
I think I should listen to my wallet and get IS350....

I'll choose performance over comfort....

GS350 wont be more, however you can probably find a sweet deal on the GS300 since the GS350 is coming.

IS350 over GS300 for me.

But I'm holding off until the new G35's come out.
