Well see what happens....
My vote is 100% luxury all the way.

TO ME... LUXURY CARS AND BIG CHROME WHEELS GO HAND IN HAND!

but..... as i found out here quite quickly.... it seems there are ZERO people on the board who approve big chrome wheels on this car.

Definitely more luxury than sport ... But you just cant deny the sporty side hiding in the shadows waiting for you to stomp the accelerator

Definitely a luxury car first and foremost with some sportiness.

Luxury car. I see no sport in it. Nothing on the GS makes it sporty. OEM suspension is too soft/floaty, chassis isn't that balanced, and its too isolated from the road. It's marketed as a sports sedan, but where is the sport in it?

Luxury in class and specs, but sporty in looks.

couldnt of have said it better. i think it's luxury with a sprinkle of sportiness...enough to put a smile on my face if I wanted to drive aggresively w/o any sacrifices

and to scare some ricer kids

How big is big?


I think everyone disagrees with 22" chrome wheels, but 20" is standard chrome/or anything else.

The issue is when you compare to the current market, but lets go back to 98 when the GS400 was first introduced. How sporty of a car was it then? I think at this time the car is nether in stock form. You have to do upgrades to make it lean toward one side or both if you want.

pretty much luxury. a lot of work and parts needed for it to qualify as sport
