I always thought GS350 was really fast...

They used to make a Camry coupe back in the day and it was replaced by the Solara in the most recent years, and then it was killed.
I came from a 2011 Camry SE V6, lowered and bigger wheels and it still didn't drive like a GS350 or even an IS250. In a straight line maybe close but when it comes to turns, the GS feels way more solid.
Also I noticed that my Camry V6 seems to be out of breath at speed over 80 MPH and didn't feel solid while the GS has no problem going over 100 MPH while staying planted to the road.

Still no competition for a GS...

That front end reminds me too much of the hideous design Acura took with their TLs.
Doubt the Camry will end up looking much like that in the USDM but hey, at least Toyota's trying to spruce up the styling.

I just sold my E60 this week. The car feels dated compared to the GS I have, has much more power and the steering overall feels better. It took some getting used to the electronic steering on the car. I considered a F10 but for me everything about the GS appealed more, it looks better to me inside and out and was the better car for me, especially when it comes down to reliability. I almost bought a 2011 550i but they have tons of problems that go wrong with them. Bimmer shop life wasn't worth it anymore for me. Lexus all the way.
