I'd pick the GS too, but the LS can look bad ***

Thanks man. i'm also getting 30mpg on my supra too! but i'm gettin old now . Where can i get suspension and exhuast for the LS? Whats the widest rim you can get for the stock LS body?

Is that your LS up there? Can you give me more specs on what you did to your LS?

I'm wanting a White GS430 or a White LS430. I'm looking to lower it and get 5 spoke 19's, black center and polished lip. I'd like to get rims that look like the old school workmeistters or the now dead SSR SP1 Professors.

Both cars look so good, I just dont understand why i'd want to pay 10k more for the LS. All i want is the car, no need for the NAV nore Mark Levin Stereo.

Would you guys buy a new Lexus with all the works? Wouldnt an aftermarkter head unit and speakers sound better than the Mark Levin?

btw, the new GS430 comes with a timing chain right? the 05 LS430's are still using the old school timing belts?

One last question, what's a good price on a new loaded 05 LS430? between 50-55k? 55-60k? 60k - 65k?

the new GS430 has the same motor as previous GS430, and LS430.

Ok, I guess the V6 is the new motor that has direct injection fuel injection and a timing chain. The demo on Lexus' website wasnt clear on what motor had what changes.

Hmm if it's questions you have about that stuff all of that is really in that section in older posts with lotsa information.

the LS430 is just so sexy man!!! when you see a nicely done up one roll up on you the front end pulls next to you and is really screaming "Get out of my way because I have arrived!"

I'd pick the LS430 over the GS anyday! i just wish I could afford it!

Alot of people are talking about looks. Well lets talk about driving experience. The LS430 is one of the quietest, smoothest, most comfortable cars on the road..at ANY price. When you drive the LS, there is almost no external sound entering the cabin. No wind, no road, no squeaks, no engine sound, no nothing. You feel as though you are gliding over a liquid road rather than an ashphalt road. Even larger bumps you can see barely bother the LS. It truly is a serene automobile. Since it is so quiet, the Mark Levinson stereo sounds amazing. You'll here minute musical details you never heard from your CD before, not even when played in your home stereo. It's that good. The LS as a complete package is one of the nicest vehicles and most pleasant vehicles I have ever driven. I love my GS, but the LS is truly a special car, and I'll definitely own one someday.

Yes, & I like the appeal of owning the flagship, plus the LS is THE Model that makes the Lexus name more than any of the others.

To some people, when a car is this refined they describe this as "boring" and "soul-less" (I hate this word for a car).

What is the minimum for a GB rominl?
