One of my favorite things about the 2nd Gen GS is the short nose and overhang. I also love the 1st Gen GS and still turn to admire one when they drive by. Kudos to all 1st and 2nd Gen owners whom have taken such great care of their cars.

As for the 3rd Gen, I too think it took on a Maxima type styling. I don't think the new Max looks terrible so long as it doesn't have the piggy bank slot on top. However, so far as the exterior styling is concerned It hasn't wowed me like the first two. At least not in pictures.

2006 looks great. once people starts to mod them, they will grow on all of us.

I have a '99 GS fully modded. However, I like the '06 GS a lot, especially when its modded. The 2nd gen GS stock is not much to look at - only when its modded with kit, 20s, etc does it really look PHAT!

Anyway, my next ride will probably be a Chrysler 300C (HEMI) or the STR-8 version of the 300c. Either way it will have either 340hp or 450. Not bad for the price. I'll buy it 2-3 years used and drop some PHAT-*** CHROME 22s with a major lip on them and thats it.

Great ride.

Ted

The new GS looks like the new Avalon.
