Default Just a little note (our GSs are really nice cars)

To let to reinforce how nice our cars are.

People, the other day I had to drive/ride in a rental chevy cavalier and It TOTALLY made me realize how nice our cars are.
That thing was the biggest rattle trap piece of junk I had ever ridden in for a new vehicle.

We really need to count our blessings that we drive such a fine automobile.

I drive my car everyday, and it makes me wish I lived a little further from the office.

'97 Camry 4-Cylinder with 177,000 miles on it. I do love to drive it but still, it makes me appreciate the GS so much more.

Believe me, nobody gives you the thumbs up and approval looks when you drive a '97 beater Camry. I get those looks all the time when in the Lexus GS. As I'm sure most of you'all have experienced. I've had people beep at me just show their approval. People always say something nice about the car.

If you want to disappear and NOT have anyone notice you, then drive a '97 Camry!

I got my 2001 GS3 in November 2004 with 30,000 miles on it. Black on black, beautiful car. Now everyday I drive from Baltimore, MD to Reston, VA - needless to say, the car gets a heavy workout daily. In eight months, I've piled on over 20,000 miles (just hit the 50K mark last week).

Point being, that even after all that time, driving everyday, I still LOVE my Lex. When I get in, its a feeling you can't really get from another car...I haven't gotten tired of it in the slightest bit, even after 20,000 miles in less than a year. And I'm counting on the car to take me to 250,000+ miles. I doubt if anyone will disagree on this topic...

Just want to share my experience. I bought 2005 Camry October last year to commute 40 miles each way to work. I sold it when Spring 2005 came because I missed my GS4. Now I am driving the GS to work everyday and enjoy every minute of it.

It might cost a lot more to be riding in a GS to work everyday with 40 miles/one way; but one thing is for sure, it's worth it without a doubt...comfort, class, speed, handling...to me the GS just has everything you would want in a car all rolled up in one.

My everyday car for the 50-mile one way trip to work is a 95 Honda Accord with 197,000 miles. Trust me, very time I get into my GS400 I love it and will love it for a really long time!
