Thank you Shurik74. the only thing that make me feel confused is that IS is the reason of giving away my BMW because of it's stylish design and also because it's ranked over all the sports luxury sedan cars. but when I took the step to purchase it I couldn't resist the GS!

My wife had 2013 IS250 which is similar size to new one and I would say it's too small inside. If you have budget for GS, just do it...

Thank you, We don't have GS AWD in the region specs, but I think the RWD will be the same, right?

I had a '15 IS350 F Sport before my '14 GS350 F Sport. It was a great car but it just felt soooo small. Not much room in the backseat. And I would find myself always comparing the overall size to the GS. Sooooo damn happy with my GS now.

for you being in Dubai, RWD should be perfect enough! There is a significant difference between RWD vs AWD...

Thank you again 'Shurik74', you really made it easy for me. I'll go ahead with the GS350.

Was looking at the same car myself. To further reassure your choice.......GS350 F Sport RWD is the clear winner

If you are 5'11+ The IS might be a little small for you. I had to slide driver seat all the way to the back seat to be comfortable in it. As much as I loved the IS, I knew it wasn't a good fit for me. I moved to a ES and it fit me size wise very well but style/power wise it was a bit limited, the GS is pretty much perfect, adequate size/power and styling.
