Default 06 GS300 vs 07 GS350

In a nutshell, what are the differences?....besides the following:

- GS350: More HP
- GS300: Better fuel economy

- GS350: Gen 5 Nav
- GS300: Gen 4 Nav

Are people trading their 06 300's in on 07 350's? If so, it seems there's got to be more than the items above.

I'm a recent 06 owner. The car is stone quiet (no rattles), and delivers 30 mpg pretty reliably on the road. I have Nav (but never use it...I know my way around where I live, so I'm not sure Gen 5 nav would change that).

Why would I trade? Why did you trade?

Thanks!

Another difference is the 07 has the XM radio Sharkfin antenna.

If you don't use the Nav system, you are missing out. - You mean you never have to drive to an address each week that you have not visited before? - I do and the Nav System works great!

To answer your question. I don't think anyone would trade an 06 for an 07.

Here are few more differences.

• Most 350s are coming with the 18" wheel option
• The CD changer plays MP3 & WMA formatted discs in the 350
• Dial your phone by voice on the 350
• Input destiniation by voice on the 350
• Less rattles on the 350
• Bigger brakes in the 350
• Shark Fin
• Rear Side Airbags

Read my post when I went from a 300 to the 350.
