wood overlay <> wood...in my mind. sorry that I believe Lexus uses cheap parts in their vehicles. all auto-makers do, that's why we have rattles, knocking, cheap mirror parts, cheap trunk closing parts..etc etc. I love my car, just hate when they advertise something that isn't entirely true.

When I bought my car, they had one on the lot without a wood steering wheel. It was a "base" GS, if there is such a thing. No navi, no ML, no wood steering wheel but there was wood elsewhere. So if you can find one of those, then you should be good. Good luck with the search.

Saw this one on eBay, not sure the condition, but $200 is better than $1000.

The 2011 GS better be a big step up in fit finish and materials to be competitive.

Dealers in all of Texas stock GS's in two option groups - both of them have the wood wheel. They told me a special order car could take three months to get - if they could get it at all. I searched every dealer in Houston and Dallas.

If you are benchmarking to a 2010 E-class, a 2011 5 series, or a 2011 Infiniti M then I agree with you. If you benchmark to the prior generation vehicles then I don't - GS was certainly better quality than the last E-class and the last Infiniti M. Probably a little short of the last 5er.
