2005 Lexus GS430....
#32
If I had it to do all over again (knowing what I know now) Id've gone with a GS300 only because it's relatively easier to hop up to +400hp. But that said, how often would I be able to take advantage of +400hp? Not often. My '98 GS400 still has enough grunt to push me into the seat when needed and can run with most when it has too.

Not sure if you use your GS for motorsports at all, but the steering wheel mounted buttons are the sole reason I went with a 400 over the 430. I know you can probably do the same with the shift lever, but it is REALLY convenient to have those buttons for downshifting into corners and holding a gear. I drive it in manual mode all the time and it makes you feel more involved in the driving experience. I really would like the newer car and increased displacement, and would love to have a rare 05 model, but I don't think it would be better for me in terms of actually driving it.
