No, even though the IS350 is quicker.

I need more space than what the IS can offer.

I'd consider it... matter of fact... I am considering it. When I graduate, the IS is one of the cars in the reality of purchase. I am also CONSIDERING the IS-F and the M3, but those cars will most probably be way out of my reach...

I think I would since I've driven both alot. The IS350 is newer for one, quicker, and handles alot better than my 300 hehe

potential cars after my GS4...
-GS3 NA-T (if I have the time wrench)
-E39 M5 (...reliability?)
-B5 S4 or B6 A4 Avant (...reliability x10?)
-IS350...maybe.

I absolutely love the way the IS350 drives. The power and handling (well, those newer ones that can turn off the VDIM). The only thing I don't like is the exterior design. However, the IS seems like the rational choice, not the emotional choice for me.

Maybe the 16 GS is too beautiful.

The IS is too small for me....I like the room and comfort of the GS, and its quick enough for me since Im an old man and drive like a grandma!

No IS350 for me. It's just to small I drove one and it's got great room up front just not enough in the back.
