sat in the new gs
hmm i expected a little more than what i saw
not saying that the new one is bad or anything, its great
the outside is definately better
i looked under the car and there is much better undercar aiflow designs, less gaps.
too bad the engine cover covers everything, but it looks futuristic
then the trunk has an opening to the cabin, thats cool
but i noticed theres a space in the door of the armrest that never closes?
is it moveable or does it leave it always open?
theres too much space in the shifter area.. like if there was something missing...
the shifter and the cupholder leave space for something else, wood alone wont cut it.
the new idea of putting everything on the little door with buttons is smart, less clutter definately
the chairs have breatheable holes for climate control thats a plus.
the new speedo is cool
the quality seemed like lexus, good, but i think the design is a little better, less obvious marks of the door panel screws for example, looks like its harder to take apart the center dash for instance. things look tighter IMO
its great car, lots of little new changes that are important like LED lights everywhere, thats smart.
all in all it was great, but it was a GS, i guess i expected something different
but they did a good job of keeping it a gs.
i know theres more vehicle electronic control but thats about it imo.. electronics wise.
same (power ECT snow) button as on 2nd gen hehe
why the ugly coinholder in the middle?
its a nice car. but i would stay with my 2nd gen for now, unless u cant hold back from the new body style
cheers!

Sitting and driving a new GS are two totally different things.

Whoops, thought the title was short for satellite radio again. LOL
Anyway, I agree with a lot of what you say but I was bit by the bug and am expecting one soon. I just love the car...It is so fresh.
And OMG, Matador Red is AMAZING!!!! I may just reconsider black
