Have any GS owners upgraded from a second or third gen IS350 to a GS350? ?
Have any 11-13 IS350 owners upgraded to a 14 or 15 GS350? If so, it is worth it and does the GS have a little or a lot of extra trunk and leg room? Is there anything else worth knowing?

GS has significantly more trunk & cabin space.
It also rides much more smoothly & quietly.

I went from a 3rd gen IS to the GS. Loved my IS but needed more interior space. The GS rear seat is not huge, but in my IS I had trouble with a rear facing infant seat fitting behind the front passenger seat. I had to put the passenger seat so far forward no one could comfortably ride in it. I did not have that issue on my GS (thankfully we're done with rear facing car seats).

Thanks everyone for replying!
@JDR, this is exactly why I asked haha. I believe a GS it will be.

OP: Its a good choice to upgrade. I had an '11 IS 350 and loved how nimble and quick it was, but the tech was a little outdated and after almost getting into an accident on a highway because of a blind spot on the passenger side when I was merging, I decided to upgrade to the 4GS with Blind Spot Monitoring of course. The trunk wasn't really an issue for me personally but the rear legroom was terrible in the IS especially when I had some of my family in the back seats..i constantly was moving my seat up to give them an extra inch or two. Materials and fit/finish of the GS is a bit better as well.

2003 2GS Sport Design to 2013 4GS F Sport:
I felt that my 2GS had more rear leg room and I think it has to do with being able to tuck your feet underneath the seat. My 4GS F Sport seems to sit lower and I'm not sure if the Luxury seats are the same way. The 2GS just feels more spacious overall in the cabin wise.
Trunk space in my 4GS puts the 2GS to shame. I can fit a tandem stroller & a weeks worth of groceries.

I loved my 2008 IS350 with x-package. It was so quick and agile. I had driven it 170k miles and recently had a kid with another on the way, so it was time to move on. So I got a used 2015 GS350 F Sport. One of the best freakin car decisions I have ever made! I absolutely love my GS F sport. Spacious for the fam, comfortable, but still really fun to drive.
