Just bought a used 2018 GS350 F Sport with 8100 miles in Smokey Granite Mica. This is my second GS350 Lexus and traded in my 2018 Scat Pack Charger. Bye bye Dodge, hello Lexus! DOnt get me wrong the Dodge was wicked fast but the ride was horrid! I lost $2500 on the trade and glad to be out of it.

Congrats!
Once my current GS comes to the end of its life, I'm probably am going to try to find another GS to get into. Sad that they won't continue the series though.
Best car I've owned.

Awesome choice and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. The GS350 F-Sport handles well and has more than enough power for daily driving also can't forget about the legendary reliability.

Okay, I know that the GS can't compete with HP bragging rights and straight line, go fast performance but having owned both, do u think the GS is a better car overall than the Dodge?

Funny thing is that I just sold my 2016 ScatPack Charger and purchased a Luxury GS350 last week! Lolololol. The Scatty was a mean, obnoxious, hairy chested street bully with no manners. It was an absolute thrill to drive. A muscle car work of art. It was very rude and crude however. Very immature. Plus, the quality comparison to my GS is just not even on the same planet.
I miss the power and torque. I miss the big brakes and stopping power. I miss the ZF 8-speed. And I did love the way the car looked. But the quality, fit and finish was just average. Underneath the world class drivetrain, it’s just a............... Dodge.
Fun fact: I ordered my ScatPack. It took 5 weeks to arrive. My name was on the factory window sticker. My steering wheel was crooked since the day I picked it up. 3 wheel alignments and 40K miles later and it was still crooked. That used to **** me off. Car was dead reliable tho. I also had loud rear diff whine. Never went away either. And the brakes we’re toast at 20,000 miles. Other than that, I loved it. I’ll get a Hellcat next. It’s on my bucket list of cars. Hell, for the right price, I’d even get another Scat one day.
Quality wise tho, my GS is a faaaaaaaar better built car in every way. Night and day difference with panel gaps, leather and materials. At 40K, my Scats leather was worn on my drivers seat. The red suede inserts were still perfect tho.
