I don't think it's very bad. Lexus missed the spot by making the GS too plush and less aggressive in handling and performance. I mean, even the 530i was scolded for being less aggressive.

This will definately change when the GS changes their engines to the 350 and 460. It will bring back the performance aspect that people are longing for. Good for GS, but it will make the new IS seem like ancient technology after a year of it's release.

In fact, wait less than four months, when the GS450h rolls into the neighborhood...
