There's no doubting the new GS is a very good car, but for the enthusiast it's almost too good for its own good. All those electronics cloak the fundamentally excellent chassis dynamics under such an impenetrable safety net that I simply have no desire to drive the GS430 ever again.

It might save me if I'm about to have the big accident (we haven't mentioned the ten airbags, or 'pillows' in Lexus speak) but an owner will probably die of boredom before this ever arrives. Business as usual at Lexus then.
The 2GS got 3 stars, the 3GS got 2 stars!!! (like the SC 430)

EVO is VERY biased towards sport and cars for the driver, so it really shows the IS-F is the real deal.

What month was this? I haven't seen it.

you shouldn't let these review make your decision for you.....honestly, you should go and test drive both cars and let yourself make the decision. Its obvious that some reviews out there are biased. All in all, good luck with your choice. i still think both cars are awesome, but dependibility is what made me get the F.

in my opinion, people who make a decision based on reviews, lack that self confidence in themselves. I mean come on people, its simple....get what you want, because its your money, not theirs.
