Default ES350 VS 2013GS350 Decision!

Finally Made the Decision yesterday;
It was tough, I went back and forth sitting between the two cars on the show room,
The Lux 18 way seats were the deal maker!
Still liked the lines of the ES a little more than the GS but the interior on the GS Rocks.
By the way pricing before TTL:
2014 Es350 Nav/ $44500 MSRP...$40,756 +TTL
2013 GS350 LUX $57,000 MSRP..$42,250 +TTL

Thanks for all the help ,, Great Comments !!

Great Choice!!
Though you could have bought a new GS for a few thousand more nut if you're happy,that's all that matters.

I liked the es styling too...but as time passes, the es looks bloated. I prefer the gs style more, now. I see both cars almost everyday

What baffles me is that people choose the ES over the styling or ergonomics rather then how the car handles. the GS is far superior in the handling department and is what people should be looking at rather then how it looks inside and outside. Enjoy the GS! THe ES is bloated.

I own both a 2013 ES and a 2014 GS F-Sport. Both cars have their advantages. For example, just completed a trip from Houston to Gulf Shores and back. I asked my boys (7 and 11 yr old) which car they wanted to take. They said the ES because they have much more room. Surprised me because they think the GS is "sooo much cooler".

You made the right choice OP! Exteriors are subjective, but the quality of the GS interior far exceeds that of the ES's.

Great choice! I also like the styling of the ES but they are a dime-a-dozen at this point so it doesn't even turn heads. Plus, you have the great interior and handling of the GS.
