Car and Driver in their Nov issue did a quick page long write up on two versions they had a chance to test drive: GS350 and GS F-Sport.

Impressions are similar to other you have seen, but they have share some good insides on GS F-Sport

"Compared with the standard GS, the F-Sport has stiffer springs; thicker antiroll bars; firmer adaptive shocks; larger, two-piece front break rotors; four-wheel steerings; a variable-ratio steering rack; and 19-inch wheels with stagged-size, high performance summer tires (235/40 in front and 265/35 in back)."

Four wheels steering was a big suprise to me. Even though F-Sport sounds better, tire selection is low and all tires avaible for the size have a short life rating. Looks like Base GS350 will have to work.

"standard GS350 proved to be less high-strung than the F-sport. The GS350's tuning is softer, and the fixed-ratio steering is slower. Even in its basic state of tune, however, the new GS demonstarte quick responses and a playfulness that the last GS couldn't match. Lexus is moving the GS into territory once occupied by the BMW 5-series."

Just scanned in the article. Lets see if it is readable. Credit goes to Car and Driver.

Very encouraging write-up & seemed honest. They even jabbed BMW for moving the 5 series toward Lexus while Lexus moved toward old BMW with this new GS.

Thanks for sharing.

Just read this as well. Good news for Lexus and driver enthusiasts. Hopefully more reviews and comparisons start pouring in soon
