Default ES & GS concerning lengths

I was doing some research yesterday and came across an interesting fact when looking at the 2nd Gen GS300 and the 3rd Gen ES300. The interesting fact is that the ES300 is actually (according to the reports I have seen) is actually slightly longer than the GS300? However I have taken a GS300 for a drive, and also seen quite a lot of them, and they physically look and feel bigger in almost all respects.

How can this be? They have a bigger boot, bigger engine, bigger interior room, loads of legroom in the back, massive boot etc. etc. etc. I suspect that because the GS doesn't have a lot of overhang at the front or rear this would explain it, but really?????????????

The reason for the research is that I want to one day buy a GS.

They are in fact longer. I know, its weird.

However one thing i must say, but the GS300 does appear to be wider.
