2006 GS 300 AWD.

Cause of New England winters and my aunt gave me that "can't pass this up" price when she wanted a new car.

2007 GS350 RWD

When I was looking for a new car I liked the 335i but it had a bland but raw interior the IS350 was a great car but a little scrunched up for my taste. The Audi S4 was alright but its interior was really scrunchy! The GS350 RWD was wonderful it offered the soul of the sporty IS350 and the bold stance of the LS460 in one package. I knew I could get better handling by coilovers and other mods so I jumped the gun and got the 2007 GS350 RWD and do not regret a thing except the cars color at times, I wish I got dark blue.

I also loved the Aristo but I can't put my Aristo badge on this car!

My Next car will be the next gen M5 or GS-F!

2007 GS350 Smokey Granite, light gray interior.

Been a lexus man since 19, when I got a 1st gen GS...had a 2GS 400 & 430 so I figured why change. It took a while for the 3GS to grow on me before I bought it last month, but with all the gadgets and goodies that came on the car, plus the color I was sold. Not many cars with 300+hp get 30+mpg too

07 350 RWD because I was originally looking at is350 but figure that the gs would only cost me a few more grand to get.

I originally owned a 02 GS300. I love everthing about the car, except the lack of power. I had it for almost 6 years and done so many mods to the car. It was time for a change. With lexus top customer service and car reliability it was a no brainer for me to stay with the lexus family. I wanted more power and all the bells and whistle that lexus offered on their cars. I went in to the dealership and test drove the IS350. Nice little car with alot of power, but it was sorta small. I like mid size sedan for comfort. So i got the GS350 rwd. RWD because i live in SoCal. I did not find the need for awd and paying coupld extra grand for it, so I picked up the 2008 GS350 and got a great great deal.

2008 GS350 RWD

Got it because I love my '98, but it was starting to have too many problems and costing me time and money in the shop. I got RWD because I have no need for AWD, plus, the AWD is more expensive and it gets slightly worse gas mileage. I didn't get the 460 because I couldn't justify the extra cost for extra power that I really don't need (although it would be fun!).
