From what I've been reading, the G's and FX's have gotten "Excellent" long-term test ratings.

Seriously, the car in its base form for $49K with sports package is incredible. Add on the "normal person options" (sorry Dave) and then a couple of cool ones and you are at $57ish for a car that has almost everything out there.
I fear that the new GS will not have the technology of the new M and might be priced similar. That will mean two things
1. The new GS won't sell as well
2. The new GS will be more reliable
Of course Toyota is not stupid, if their car does not have the technology of the new M then they "should" price it less and we all win.
Personally, I'm waiting for the C&D Shootout where they compare the A6, STS, GS, M, 545, and E500 (no word on if they will do it). My fearless prediction of rankings is
1. M45
2 (tie) GS & A6
4. 545
5. STS
6. E500
