the vgrs is ok, i have it on the ls460l and don't feel that much of a difference. but the apsss, that's one brilliant setup. still though with that the car handles better, but doesn't give me enough driving feel of say bmw

It hard for any car in the same price range to compare to BMW when it comes to handling, just like others dont measure up when they compare to Lexus when it comes to luxury and quietness.

After making the change from BMW to Lexus, Im still very happy with the GS. My 530 had the sport package, active steering and active suspension. Ive never driven anything like it since.
It took some adjustment, but the interior and comfort made it an easy adjustment.

ya know, my bro also has the 530i with what you have, if my gs drives the same as that car, i think i'll be a Lexus driver for life. We all know that won't be the case.

perhaps GS-F will change that, just hope they don't put the IS-F exhaust on it and i'll be a happy camper

APSSS + Lowering + Fatter and stickier tires + Strut tower bar = almost BMW handling (good enough for me...) + confort - noise

Okay my issue came in the mail today. Basically not glowing but they like it and its 10% less than the Germans. They did mention the Dunlop Runflats stink.

sorry, i stand corrected, looks like the GS460 does lack the direction injection

anyway, per request, here is the thread to compare the LS460 and GS460 engine and my explanations...

If there is such a car that is the best at everything, I would buy it too
