There is no confirmation the GS is going away yet, just because a Euro model was dropped does not mean it is going away in the US and other markets.

Cars I would replace my GS350 with or in addition to it, another GS350, GS-F, LC500, RC-F, LS460, Genesis G80/G90, Infiniti M56, Infiniti Q60, Acura RLX, TLX Advance, current model S class would be really tempting though probably risky and I would talk myself out of. I would also consider the current Lincoln Continental if they turn out to be reliable and mostly trouble free.

Finding a triple beam in dealer stock in the south and on the left coast is slim to none. Come to the rust belt where they sell AWD's and you'll see triple beams everywhere. Every GS my local dealer gets here in Illinois has triple beams.

I'm willing to walk away from my fully loaded luxury edition 2017 GS, to go in a mint 2006 LS430 40k miles right now. I got more features than.... and I still everytime I see them drive by me I get pissed at myself.
I digress
I might just get it and make it my project car.

Then suckers are fast though.. yeah Acura dues need to step up their game. We were going to get a mix or rdx but a test drive comparison between the Acura models and a RX shot that down, especially after seeing both MSRP stickers. Acura charges too much for to little difference from a Honda. It might just be there downfall, cause people cross-shop the two and just go to a new or newer Honda.

Lincoln is really making me feel some type of way. The navigator concept was gorgeous and even though they got rid of the epic doors, the real model is still very nice looking.

Thinking the same, but just going for a '19 GS F sport after those leases get returned. Not sure I can hold out that long though.

I pray there is one, but you're right, going from my '15 to really anything 16+ would feel like a big upgrade.

^THIS!!!!! Do that and I bet you get all kinds of buzz, all the youtubers and car reviews will be stacking it up against the likes of Audi, MB, etc and have it really competing. Not just being the slower, more reliable option.

I love my GS and honestly have had a very long internal debate....


The top 3 contenders are:
1. GS-F
2. Tesla Model S (only because of autopilot)
3. Genesis G70 - If you can get over the brand, this, I believe is probably the best value for money, especially if you plan on buying a slightly used one in a year or two

1) if you really feel you 'd use the power used would be a good choice otherwise i'd say get a new 350
2) I find my radar cruise and lane centering to be able to drive me on its own if you can tolerate it beeping the entire time (haven't tried the tesla stress ball trick but don't care to)
3) I test drove this cause of hyundai's $50 GC test drive promo. Its an improvement over the old genesis but its still a smaller car and i'm not a fan of the styling. It does have more bells and whistles but I still feel like you trade quality for those things.

ultimately, drive them and whichever one puts the biggest smile on your face is the one

What about the 2016-2017 Chevy SS? I know it's more performance than luxury, but you can't deny the value and fun to drive nature of a Corvette engine powered 4 door cruiser with arguebly some of the best adaptive suspension. Used ones can be found for 30-40k depending on year and mileage, but it's always been in the back of mind after test driving it but making the start decision to buy the GS.
