I still prefer the looks of the 2GS and I miss the V-8 growl and low-end torque, there is a noticeably difference in initial acceleration as the GS 430 feels smoother. Outside of that the 4GS is pretty superior in any way, it handles better and the 2GS has TRD sways, TRD LCB, Toms 6 piece links, rear Ugo carbon fiber brace in the trunk, yadda yadda. The 4GS is an F-sport and has the option DRS (Dynamic rear steer) so the rear wheels turn slightly. It is an amazing drive. The 4GS also has some nice sound since there is a stock intake tube running into the cabin. The interior is utterly amazing, one of the best at any price, the technology is amazing as it should in a newer car. Braking is better since it has a 2 piece 14" brake up front , 4 pot compared to the tiny 2 pot in the GS 430.

GSh wheels look great for stock wheels on the 2GS...btw, polish those headlights!
Not ours, visited family. I've driven it tons, they love it, I like it. Theirs is a loaded HS, the only way to go. It has a front camera, lane keep assist, HUD and everything except LED lights and ML. The tech is pretty amazing in the car for that price. It does get the 35 MPG average as advertised with no issues. Space inside is pretty good, the trunk is not bad. Overall though I'm not a fan of the looks, the seats are not great, it drives like a Lexus and not the new generation of cars and while a solid car, outside of the technology and MPG, not drool worthy.

67,500 posts? Am I reading that right?
Thanks. Wheels are not staying on long but if they did a rear spacer would be great.

Yes 67,500 posts. Kind of an O.G here

Hey Mike, is there any chance we could see how the 4GS F-Sport wheels look like on the 2GS?

Hmmmm, I will try. The sidewall is higher 245/40/19 and 265/35/19. For those that don't know this is the widest tire any Lexus has had in the rear with the LFA being the exception.

In all this time, I think that's the first I've seen the Hybrid's OEM wheels! lol I've seen about every other set that's been on there, though... Can't wait to see the rest in store for both the 2nd and 4th gens soon!!
