Am I crazy for wanting a GS?

I get where you're coming from. "New" always makes us feel good whether it's new shoes and especially a new ride! Being a long time owner, you were expressing boredom with the 2GS and I think some people took exception to what was perceived as speaking negatively about the car in general.
Overall, everyone had valid points. The 400/430's having a markedly more powerful feel over the 300's. Stock, the design looks good but can be a tad bit on the "dated" side. Modified, I think they look gorgeous and I get compliments everywhere. BUT, the 2GS is a heavy car that, compared to modern sedans, isn't that powerful. There's newer Camry's and Altima's that have comparable 0-60 times. Handling is so-so until you upgrade it.
That being said, I would always recommend these cars to anyone looking for a moderately powerful and moderately luxurious, reliable car. AND to someone that is willing to care for these cars the way they deserve because I see a lot of examples driving around that aren't taken care of. The well maintained 2GS are getting fewer and fewer in numbers..
