2014 GS 350F vs 2014 RX 350F

I own an IS, not a GS, so I don't have much to add on that front, but I do also own an RX. I have one forward facing seat and one rear facing infant seat in the back of each of my cars.
The RX does a wonderful job as a family ride. It's very easy to install the car seats, and to get the kids in and out. I can also fit an adult in the back seat with the two car seats. And of course the cargo area is large enough to easily carry our double BOB jogging stroller, and/or lots of other items. Admittedly, this can be said of just about any mid size SUV/CUV.
The RX is not sporty, but I do feel that it handles much better than its reputation implies. I still have fun with it. It isn't something you toss around corners, but I don't do that with my kids in the car with me anyway. I do find it to be competent, not floaty, and very comfortable for my family of 4.
With all that said, if I was in the market now and could wait a bit longer, I'd wait for the new RX to hit the showrooms, and probably the refreshed 2016 GS as well.
Good luck in your decision!

Thanks everyone. I'll take the carseats with me and when I go car shopping in the coming weeks. But it really looks like I'll have to settle for the RX F in the end. Guess I'll have to wait to get my GS F.
