Definitely go for the GS if you value comfort, refinement, practicality, and exclusivity. It is a better overall car and package IMO.
no... REAL guys go for the F. the 350 is no match for a V8

and exclusivity??? you live in CA so you should know how many GS are being driven around... by both men and women

Actually real guys get what they want and don't care what others think of them. Just saying.

Far fewer than the number of IS's being driven around. The plain sales numbers will tell you that.

There are definitely more GS driven around now, but far fewer than IS. I must see at least 10+ IS to every 1 GS. In comparison to GS competition, at least 5+ 5-series or E-class to every 1 GS. So GS is definitely more exclusive. Idk where gender comes into it...

Definitely see more IS's around than the GS in CA. More GS than before but more non F-Sport than F-Sport.

Yes there are definitely more is around than gs, but that doesn't make the gs exclusive. It's like saying there are way more corollas than there are camrys so the camry is exclusive as well. Heck, I see so many audi r8 around that I don't even feel that's as exclusive anymore as well. It's probably just the area I frequent but unless you're driving some super exotic, there's not really any exclusive cars anymore

I'd have to agree. It costs more+seen less=exclusivity

Try being me. Only a few lexus dealers in the state and none in my town. It's awesome

LOL, you're the one who is arguing with me. All the guy said was the GS is more exclusive than the IS. If you don't disagree with that I don't understand your point.

I wasn't trying to argue with you. Sorry if it came off that way. The other member said the gs is exclusive period, not more than the IS. I agreed with him when he said that the gs is the better overall car, but don't agree with him saying that the gs is exclusive in general.

True it's about what YOU want. Go test drive both cars and get a feel for both. I was a previous IS350 when I was in my 20's. Now that I'm 30, I feel the GS350 suits more for my needs now especially being married now with comfort yet feeling sporty with the F-Sport model. It's all about an individual's preference. Don't think you can go wrong with either car.

Thats not how I took what he said. He said a reason to buy the GS over the IS was "exclusivity"...meaning exclusivity compared to the IS. None of these cars are exclusive.
