Thing is I have not figured out (yet) how to feel that confident in the car at all times. Mind you its stock. There is a Sport/Normal setting that adjust shocks and it is noticeably different.
The CVT is unreal, 80-100MPH is scary.
That said its clearly no 5 series (nothing is) and on par/better than the E-class/A6 in handling.
Oh and there some Kumhos on it that aren't bad but I'm used to the Goodyear F1 DS3s on the 430. Its rained and they were great, dry traction is fine but its not sticky and summer is coming
I'm very curious to see what happens when I mod the suspension as we all know if you have sporting intensions in a GS, you have to modify it.

Kept the 430. 2GS for life
Yup, its smooth. So I can't wait to F)#)($)( that up and add springs or coils, big rims with thin tires, all sorts of Toms/F-sport bars to stiffen it so it will ride like a crackhead on a drunk goat.

If I had to give up my MT it would be for a GSh. My dad wanted one, until the market completely tanked. Oh well, wait till Lexus gets the new technology in it. It will be one fine luxo hybrid.

Its quite an odd mix. Sometimes it feels quite poderous (weighs 4134 lbs) and the steering feels artificial. Then on the other hand I've taken it around some corners and with that big *** battery in the back, I can swing that rear around and the steering is precise and it feels fun and accurate.
