still looks great though....and nice line up.
so now that you have a bouncing baby boy and a sweet LS, the GS is left all by its lonesome?
i have three kids all in car seats, so the range of options that will suit a family of 5 is quite limiting. How are you finding the LS compares to the GS for space.
my turn to buy a new car (after the wife got her 2014 Honda Odyssey Elite a few months ago - we love it) is coming up. my choices have come down to these:
1) Weekend Warrior: Get a fun car that can't fit anyone but me and the wifey. it's impractical but tempting. This would certainly be the RC F. I like this choice because I think the RC F will be LOADS of fun and retain its value well when we're ready to unload it. won't be popular with wifey b/c she doesn't "get it" when it comes to spending $$$ on cars. This would mean that the kiddie car is the minivan plus we keep my existing Toyota Camry so that I can shuttle the munchkins when the wife is at work. That's right, we both work, and both commute 3 hours daily (RT) with three kids under three. Lots of 3's!
2) All things to all people: The only thing I can find that scratches my performance itch, and has plenty of room, without killing me on gas is a Tesla. It's actually perfect in many ways.
3) Wait for the golden unicorn: Keep trucking in the Camry until the GS F shows up

I noticed due to space, we do take the LS out more. #firstworldproblems in regards to the GS and space. Surely most would love the car but there is no denying how much easier life is in the larger car. The GX is something I am doing a review on and the 650i there is a new Vossen Project Car and I was doing some testing with the new KW V3 coilovers and wheel/Pirelli tires. The LS was getting new wheels.
We had the GX for a week and while it isn't my particular cup of tea, my wife kept commenting on the extra space. Funny but its about the SAME LENGTH as a GS but clearly the boxy shape offers more useable room. With family/friends now staying with us often not sure what we are going to do.
Good choice on the Oddy, great van!
1. I hear you so much on this...it would be extremely fun and pleasing but clearly not practical for a family.
2. The Tesla is something I really love, just the one I wanted (P85 +) gets to be over 100k easy with options. Of course one can buy the cheaper model. The 7 seat option is just lovely and actually useable for kids.
3. Yup, GS F next summer. I love the LS F-sport, I really do, just wish it did have more grunt and power and IMO it would be nearly perfect (needs a fold down rear seat too, as the GS).
Im getting this blown up onto a 3'x7' single sheet poster and framming it up and putting it in the garage!
