Default Goodbye gs350/Lexus family

I sold my 2013 Lexus gs350 so it looks like this is goodbye to clublexus. Thinking about getting the new Range Rover or Mercedes s550 not sure yet but I probably won’t ever buy another Lexus again 😢 not that I had problems with my gs350 but they just don’t do it for me speed wise or size wise.

The size of the GS is pretty good I'd say, they do lack a bit of power unless you get into a GSF but then the competition is much more powerful as well.... Anyways, sorry to see you go dude but if you are seriously getting into a Range Rover I think you might be coming back sooner than you think with all the reliability issues. I think MB is not too bad though but still not Lexus reliable. Good luck

I sold it for 13k. Only had 67k miles but I sold it to my brother that’s why I sold it for so cheap.

I have both and currently daily the S550. The S550 is definitely roomier and feels more like a train. My favorite is still the 3rd Gen GS that feels the sportiest. I have the W221 S550 and am considering a differently daily because the S550 just feels too heavy. I believe there is a new generation S550 coming out next year so I'd probably wait until then if you can. Even Lexus' LC500 and RC-F or GS-F just never felt powerful enough for a sporty car.

Sad to see you are leaving Lexus family! Are you planning to lease your new European car? I'm pretty sure you get back to Lexus in 3 years if you get Range Rover or MB S550

Yeah...be careful. Range Rovers are notoriously unreliable.
