Default Lexus GS400 Top 10 review list

Got a lot of help from CL during the research phase of my GS400 purchase. Thought I'd try to give back a bit, and help out other people who are searching for info - so I've compiled my personal top 10 Lexus GS400 review list. There is everything from Motor Trend articles to more obscure reviews that still get to the nature of this excellent sports sedan. I have a lot more research material, but this should be a fun place to start, enjoy:

Should I get a GS300 or GS400? (found by searching with "which gs300 gs400" in the GS forum)
