I too have owned both. I had an is first but it was 5 speed. I hated the transmission on it, but that was the only thing I didn't like. I miss my is. Now I have a 98 gs300, I gotta tell you the brakes suck. So I got ls400 bbk. The suspension is really soft(good for running errands and long trips)so I got coilovers, the front end on the gs is old so they require some updating(bushings, ball joints, tie rods etc). The seats are big and don't hug you very well but then again its luxury vs. Sport. I don't mind the automatic but boy do I miss my 5speed. I've found that after owning both you do always look around at the opposite platform and say "man I wish I had an is/gs." It looks like more ppl like the gs though, I'm more for the is.
