just read this!
Love Jalopnik but you cant expect to read comments on there praising the GS350.
A ton of these guys love beat up used cars, so most of them preffered the 20 year old LS to the new GS... They especially hate the grill...which every manufacturer seems keen on biting.
Also the author of the article says the GS350 is underpowered, which theres no denying..but i bet he knows nothing of the detent in the accelerator

The power of the GS scared me sometimes when in WOT.

I can't believe I'm writing this (my 20 year old self is dying of embarrassment) but how much power can you use on the street? I'm like ItzFilyO and find my GS 350 in WOT downright scary at times. Regarding the Jalopnik article, the writer seems pretty impressed with the GS overall though.

This is a ridiculous article LOL. They couldn't find a new LS to drive at the end of their road trip in the old LS? They couldn't find an old GS to drive to compare to the new GS? In the very least, they couldn't find a premium or luxury GS to compare?
Having had both of these cars, they are VERY different. They are not "close enough" as the author says. From the 2LS (read NO sport at ALL) to a 4GS F Sport?!? Thats just silly.
