An ES? Even though its a generation above our cars, I would stay with the gs, hands down, no questions asked. Especially if it was a GS430.

Kinda had the same experience when I took my car in for the 45k service, they gave me an IS250 loaner, I only had it for a day and o man did I miss my GS ... Mostly because of the major power difference (I have a 430), but one thing I did like about the IS is how the leather is so soft and the seats hug you more, and the fact that they have the cooled seats ... Besides that I LOVE my GS and would take it over a new IS any day ... Unless of course it was an IS-F

Yup, I heard about this from a tech at a dealership when I was waiting for my car to come out from getting a car wash and tires refilled ... There was a thread about it a while back ... It's supposed to come out in ?2012? I believe


Quick Reply: got her back from the dealer today
