GS250 is dog slow, i wouldnt recommend it to my enemy... i am biggest lexus fan and i would never ever get GS250 after a test drive... my GS350 felt like Rocketship, and my 88hp Nissan feels about the same as GS, i am not some kind of V8 obsessed person.

Good quality test review.
However, of course the F Sport version won't ride as well as the normal version.
Conclusion of 3.5 stars a bit biased.
The cars should mostly be good, but in different ways.
Personally, I would still opt for the GS250 myself, over the European diesels.
Depends on your tastes, and what is important to you in a motor car...

a 250 f-sport is the definition of all show and no go.
