I Will..
1 thing for sure is that our GS suspension takes the bump very well and very smooth, I enjoy driving it everyday. I live in Chicago and streets are terrible.
The 4th gen GS may drive better? Im on a 3rd gen 2011 GS350 AWD

hello cl
Im currently driving a 2011 GS350 AWD and thinking abou the 4th gen gs350 or the acura rlx
I test drove the 2014 acura rlx, the car is big but good has good mpg, the interior is really nice but 1 thing really bugging me is the suspension makes clunking noise on bumpy road and ACURA doesnt have a fix for that right now according to the Acurazine forum.
I havent test drive the 4 gen gs350 yet, 1 thing i like about the Acura rlx is the ground clearance, it sits more than an inch lower than the gs350, really nice factory stance compareS to our GS350.
Any members driving the 4th gen GS350 please chime in
Ur thought is greatly appreciated

Ill sum it up for you......
Co-worker bought a brand new RLX in Feb, & I just took delivery of my Brand new F-Sport (RWD) 3 weeks ago & all my co-worker can do is drool, ask me all types of questions & want to go out to lunch like never b4 (in my car ) every time i drive by he cant take his eyes off the car like its a supermodel in a bikini...
Value no comparison, Styling no comparison, Reliability good, but not comparable...
Good luck with which ever your choice you make my friend...

Thanks for taking the time to share
Yes, I test drove the RLX and it rode really nice, I really like the interior of the RLX and in most Acura in general. I had a 2009 TL FWD for 2 years and I also really that car as well. ppl keep bashing about the front grill and the styling of the 4th gen TL but to me, the styling of the TL is very appealing and sophisticated and I do like the front grill especially from 2012 and up.
I havent drive the SH-AWD yet but i can imagine it should be a marvel.
Heck i even considering the TL or TLX SH-AWD again.

If they had come out with a sport model with a little more pizzaz - like exhaust tips, floor shift (instead of push button) on the V6 and a little more of a sport appearance package I might have bought one. I still think it's a great car for the majority of people and to me it would be a great alternative to the GS or RLX unless they just tug at your emotions. Needless to say, the A7 tugged at my emotions big time.
Good luck. The nice thing is that there are no bad cars in this group, just mis-matches for what is important to you. BTW, I would tell anyone to seriously consider an Audi A6 in this price range. I'm pretty well blown away by how much I like my A7, and the A6 is basically the same car with a different body.

I'm amused by those of you looking at the two pictures and acting like the GS is night and day better looking. To me they look like twins separated at birth except that one (the GS) has a front end that looks like it was not built to match the rest of the car.

Yep GS exterior is not that much of an excitement.
OP: what's the wait? It's already in your name. it's the best time to get a deal on 15 models now. RLX is nice but yes, 4GS is different. Looking forward to the pictures

I'm looking at a used one a 2014 RLX or 2013-14 GS350
The RLX is kinda rare if u r looking for a used one bc it is not a popular vehicle.
I'm driving a 2011 Gs350 it has 49500 miles and still in mint condition I don't know if I should upgrade to the above vehicles or not
Here is my ride sitting on 20

To be honest, you're on a Lexus forum, people will be pro Lexus.
Go with what you like, cause no one here will be paying that car note.
If you like the RLX. Get it. Don't let others impede your perspective.
I still debate if I should've gotten a tlx or A6. But next time.
Good luck.

What's Acura's best sound system? I wonder how it compares to our ML system.

Yes, I have posted on the Acura RLX forum asking for help.
I really like the Lexus quality especially the GS model but I have not test drive the 4th gen GS yet, I will def do that before making any decision.
Honestly I test drove the 2014 RLX even though its a FWD but I do like the way it drives and the interior is nice too, its also a roomy car.
The only thing I do not wanna go thru is the suspension issue on the RLX, the clunking noise I can hear drive on bumpy road, there is no fix for it right now. According to the Acura forum, Acura wont acknowledge there is a suspension issue with their RLX.
I feel like I need to do as much researching as possible before buying a used car. I have made a big mistake of not doing any research before I bought my 2014 Nissan Pathfinder which has CVT transmission issue that Nissan wont acknowledge it.

Just don't forget about the pedal detent, that will unleash all the power.
