Exactly. Testing was done independantly by Motortrend/Automobile test-drivers using their own equipment, NOT Lexus-supplied equipment, NOT Lexus test-drivers.
Labelling it as "advertisement" doesn't make the findings any less valid. The question you need to ask is : are the testing procedures kosher?If they are, then the numbers stand up to scrutiny.

Question is where they get GS for testing? People can always suspect that model used for getting was offered by Lexus and obviously tuned for better performance, braking and handling. I believe Lexus are capable to apply same mods as we do, to make their cars better. Jus kidding.

I think the Audi is equally inexpensive like the Lexus when it comes to street price. The issue is that the Audi feels cheap. When you are inside the Audi there is a ton of plastic, there seats only have leather on center panels, but vinyl on the bolsters, that interior is the worst in this segment in my opinion. Audis materials and finishes are not much better than KIAs in my opinion.

The sportiest car in this class is either the 550i or the S6. No V6 can be the sportiest car in this class.
I can't wait till they put the 5.0 in the GS. That will be interesting.
But you are right. All these 6 cyl models are very good too. The likes of Volvo, Acura and Infiniti are ****ed.
