i surely don't hope you park like that occupying both spaces. that's prime demonstration of selfishness

regardless, please get back on topic. thanks

I agree. I would never park across 2 spaces because it is begging for some twit to key your car.

Instead, I look for a corner parking spot or a spot on an end of a row, and I park at an angle in the corner spot, or slightly wide on the end of the row so 2 of my wheels are on the diagnally striped painted area. This doesn't take up an extra spot, doesn't obstruct traffic, but provides a modicum of protection from dings.

More pot stirring. Who said it handles as well??????

U also forgot some of the MAIN reasons the 5 outsells the GS.

1. It is SUPPOSED to sell more than the GS
2.They have more models
3. The 5 is king of this class
4. Lease Deals Lexus cannot match with the GS

this pot stirring will not fly in 2010.

In reading the Phoenix Sunday newspaper automobile want ads, there wasn't one GS (of any generation) for sale in the Lexus section. I've noticed this before - relatively very few GS models showing up in the want ads. Not so with BMW 5's (again, relatively speaking). It appears, at least in my neck of the woods, we have a somewhat exclusive commodity.
