i wouldn't touch 06 gs300. i can't seem to make sense of why they even have that engine

Don't worry, I'm not going near the 300 (no offense, GS300 owners, your car is still cool).

But what about the '06 430? Anything noticeably worse compared to the '07?

I don't recall anything else on 2008 hybrid model, but some people have complained about different areas with older cars, for example brakes.
Noise issue is a big one to me, and I don't feel like having dashboard removed to fix it, so that justifies my decision not to buy lexus again, or at least for another 3-4 years. Also, I do not like the way lexus handles, but that's my personal opinion... I had to modify suspension to improve it, and get better look at the same time. I think I was spoiled with my previous car...
This board is a great resource, and you should find all answers you need...
Good Luck.

I am there right now. The lease on my GS300 is up in a couple of months and I am up in the air as to what to get. I would like an S5, but with the Real Estate being a little shaky I need to get something a little less expensive. Right now my favorite is the G37. I just miss that sporty feel that I can't get in my slow GS. I think I will extend my lease for the full 6 months and see what the deals look like as the new models come out.

If it is between a G37 and GS, I would stick to a GS. The interior styling is better in the Lexus...and the HP output on the GS is much improved over the GS300...it is plenty fast for me. But to each their own.

Maybe the G37 suspension and ride is tighter than the GS?

Compass

The G35 was a decent enough looking car, but goddamn they were (and are) ubiquitous, at least around where I live. I also cannot *stand* the exhaust note of Infiniti/Nissan's recent cars. I don't know if it's all of them, or just certain models, but I've noticed it on the 350z, G35, and FX. Hate it with deep passion.

But yeah, style-wise, I thought the G37 just murdered (in a bad way) the simple but elegant good looks of the G35.

The G37 has a "sportier" feel to it. When I drove it I definitely felt more in touch with the road.

something bigger like an s-class, cls or an suv!

i mean is-f vs ls, two end of the spectrum

The G Man

Personally, I would never own the same car twice, especially back to back, no matter how nice it is.

tsavo

CLS is not bigger, the back seats are tiny.

Yea, I am torn between luxury or performance. But most likely I will be going with the F since I have the GS now, I miss the feel of a performance car and getting knocked back into your seat

Well here is the deal....it is interesting...with the number of car models that are out there...how few I would consider seriously (that is fit my needs, tastes, expected reliability, etc.).

I have never owned back to back styled cars....but have been close.

If my needs remained the same and the car went through a generation change (with supposed improvements)...I cant see why it would not be a very serious contender...assuming I liked it before and dealer treated me well....and they didnt jack the price up.
