i was in that predicament.....i think the IS350 is small. The GS350 is much bigger and the backseat is actually useful. However the GS350 is not as fast, doesn't handle as well, and is not as sporty. So what's more important to you? I decided that i really want a faster, sportier car, and since i almost never have anyone in my back seat im staying with the IS350.

I personally would get an Infiniti M before a GS. I like the exterior styling of the GS, but when I drove it, I walked away feeling unimpressed, I didn't like it's performance (handling mainly) and wasn't too crazy about the interior either. I drove it several more times afterwards to see if I would change my mind, but no such luck. I do wish the IS had a larger back seat though, I find it odd that my ex girlfriends smaller Scion TC has significantly more leg room than my 4 door IS.

I never carry anyone in the back seat so that shortcoming that people mention often doesn't mean anything to me. Although there are some good big sedans that drive better than the GS series (Infiniti M and Bimmers) the problem is they are too big for my taste. I like the smaller, tossable cars and that is where the IS shines.

Why 430? 0-60 is rated the same 5.9 sec. Other than more weight and gas.
But then again Im confuse because the 430 has more torque but less hp and the 350 is vice versa.
I would have say that the 430 would be faster from a stop due to the extra torque.
