How did you come up with this conclusion sir? I was just being honest about the GS. Sure the ES also has some disappointing issues so does every car. But I hate to see people not being able to respect the opinion of the others.

Yep. GS lacks headroom and only sits 2 in the back because of the huge RWD hump.

There is more road noise than the ES due to fatter tyres.

However I find the GS engine quieter. This is on the GS460 though.

I didn't really mentioned I dislike the GS and that I won't be buying it. But it seems like your ES has done something bad for you that's why you can't stand someone comparing it to your current ride.

Yes I agree. Even the V6 engine in the GS350 is quieter than the ES. Especially at low speed.

Are we really comparing an ES to a GS? In almost every single way, a GS is a step above the ES.

Why don't you take a powder. I really liked the ES (as I said) and I like the GS better, You asked for input which you steadfastly refuse.

Why are you here posting, exactly, when you reject the input you asked for?

Indeed, That is why Lexus charges 11K more for the car!

lol why are you still replying? anyway, I did not reject your input, I respect it in every way but I do not expect a judgment when I say my opinion on some things the ES is better than the GS. I didn't own a GS just yet and maybe I'll change my mind on the ES after.
