I did not realize this but after visiting the dealer and talking a while with the finance manager I can get a LS430 for less than the GS430 on a 36 month lease. My only problem is the LS has less aggressive styling and I am wondering how to supe it up. I can get the 5 spoke 18" rims with the euro suspension and still stay less than the GS430.

What do you guys think. I am now doing some research.

It entirely depends on what your purpose for the vehicle is:

The LS 430 if:
You want the serenity of an ultra-soft sedan.
The GS 430 if:
You want the latest technology and a tighter steering.

Performance wise in terms of acceleration both are similar. However, at higher speeds the LS may be more stable and quieter. More work went in the LS than the GS and the LS has been around a few years. Therefore, the LS may be more reliable and bug-free than the GS.

Either way, you are going to get one of the best cars out there so !

Good luck!

IMO, the LS is a no-brainer, but as yaro1 said, it really boils down to personal preference.

I went to my Lexus dealer last week to look at the new GS430. After getting the price
of $58,000, I looked at an LS with the modern luxury package and factory chrome wheels,
the MSRP was $64,629.00. After a little negotiating I got a price on the LS of $58,500.00 +TT&L.
I decided to go the luxury route with the LS but being 58 years old may have had something to do
with that decision, I traded my 2002 ES, no regreats yet!
