Default Keeping my sc 300 but should I get 00 gs4 or a 99 sc4?

I will never get rid of my 93 sc 3 but I am looking to purchase another ride. I am deciding on whether to get a 2000 GS400 Black cherry/blk int or blk/blk with navi (drop and put on 18" wheels) or a 1999/2000 sc 400 blk/blk or platinum/blk (drop w/ 18" wheels) --Milege is not a concern considering my sc has 230k miles and purrs like a kitten still. I leaning towards the gs400 because they seem to run into less problems than sc's (i've had my share with the sc) and the gs hits 0-60 in close to 5 secs (much faster) with paddle shifting. What do you guys think?

As much as I believe that a 2000 SC is quite possibly god's gift to the world, you already have an SC so buy the GS.

Get the GS. Having the two same car isn't as fun. With the SC3 and GS4, one will be your daily drive and the other one can be the weekend warrior. lol.

My aunt and her husband both have Honda Odysseys...both in the same silver color. The only difference is one is a 2005 and the other one is a 2006
