Naa, I'm not a modder, plus its leased. It'll go back in 3 years at the latest (probably). What I'm looking for is a soft car lol. I do a lot of highway driving and I want the best ride and noise isolation I can get. I disagree that the ES is a woman's car, I see more women in GS300s than in ES300s around here. Mostly men, and surprisingly young. I'll stop by the dealer one day this week, drive both cars back to back, then park them next to each other and do a comparison, then I'll make my decision for sure.

I'll yet y'all know.

I think he meant GS sales in particular are down.

I would think the goal would be to not let sales slow to the point where it an absolute need for a new model car. This WILL be the case in 2 years. I was also looking forward to only waiting another year. Chances are, that at the lastest Ill have to get rid of this 98 GS4 for another car by a year from now. BMW will prob be my only option, unfortunately.
Hell if they want to see a year of GS sales that go straight into the ground, I wish them well.

Yes, but which BMW? The current 5 which is older than the GS or the first model year of the new hideous 5 (living dangerously)? Or the much smaller 3 series?

3 series, no thanks.

I would go either the new 540 depending on what it looks like when the final version comes out...Or the current body style m5. Those are the best options between now and a year from now, now that lexus pushed the GS back.
