Take a closer look and see the the Infiniti M45 selling 90 units more than the GS430-not impressive considering it's a new release.

LS430 sold more then GS300....i find that interesting!

Also...jeesh...almost HALF MILLION CAMRY's sold in the year!

Impressive....TOYOTA's got lots of cash!

I can easily see the LS430 selling more then the entire GS line. The LS is the top of the chain for the Lexus line. The GS is not all that much less expensive, and in my mind is more of a niche product for Lexus. At least until recently, Lexus has been about luxury, no sport. IMO people more interested in sport will generally look towards BMW...

LS4fun

You're right....although i would think twice before buying a BMW...

Lexus always outsold q45's. Even in the early 90's, ls400's were outselling q45's 2.5:1 and this was back when people felt Lexi were what Kia's are today.

Hey GS4fun - own a BMW recently? I have and I assure you that when my GS lease is up (in 38 more months) I will most probably get another one. No clue where your comment was coming from - but maybe you had a bad experience?

The M45 is an old car design and I don't think it is selling very well (note this is the M45 not the Q45 we are talking about). The car reminds me of a car designed in the 80s - the doors even rattle when you close them and the interior is claustrophobic. I would take the G35 over this car in a heartbeat (and was going to until the dealer made it too hard to pass up the GS430).

I was kidding. Actually I own one currently (thank GOD for stock options). One of my newest toys is a 745Li (Has about 1000 miles). I dont give a rats *** what people say about the electronics problems. Just love not having a key and having everything controlled in the palm of my hand by a ****. One of the best features is when your friends want to borrow it, they get in....they dont know where to begin...and get out Have you noticed how much control you have in the climate controls...enough for a PhD thesis? I love it.

Yowsa. Now that is a car!

The reason I didn't lease one of those was I was afraid that if I ever left it with a valet they wouldn't know what to do. Oh and I couldn't afford it - but other than that...

Also, count me in as one of the few who really like the styling of the car.

Congrats. BTW, what color?

LS4fun

Is there anything but BLACK! lol.....

I would actually trust the valet...they would know what to do....

I wish i had the cash to buy some 22's for it right now......some hot wheels like $10k...difficult decisions....

My Dad has this ride in black too.... beautiful car! It's not unlike driving a bus. I do dig the fact that there is no traditional "key".
