Its "LOL" logic but its also smart in a couple ways like if you shouldn't be driving a GS in the first place!
Agreed...

but you know how passionate we can get about our specific model car, so sometimes we get the "...it's better than everything" attitude, and definitely can be destructive.

Let's all continue to love our Lexus'! We are all one big happy family

My neighbor feels the same way as you about the GS interior size.
He bought a ES but wanted the GS.
He's 6'1" and 340 lbs,though.
He always mentions how he loves my car.

FWIW, the OP left the exact same post on 3-4 threads over on the ES board. Including unrelated threads for TSIB's and dropping the ES.

clusterophobia (klŭśtər-ō-fṓbē-ə) (n.) The irrational and abnormal fear of finely appointed and well laid out car interiors, particularly instrument clusters, gauges and controls.

That is hilarious, LexBob! I was kind of scratching my head at this because, beyond the title, the post itself doesn't really have anything to do with the GS.

It makes sense now, it was originally written in response to someone soliciting opinions on the ES350.

I guess he thought it was so profound that he started repost it in response to anything having to do with the ES then the IS/ES (as if it were the same car). Now he's moved to reposting it as a thread starter having to do with the GS.

I wonder if he posted it on the LS board too! That would be funny.

I will agree, the 3g GS is small inside with a lack of headroom.

If yall smell a rat or anything funny, please use the alert button on the lower left side that goes to the entire mod team, or PM me.

In this case, its just a Lexus owner giving their thoughts on the ES vs GS, nothing wrong with that, many people do the same. We are all Lexus brothers and sisters
