Default leaves me wanting more....

After reading the goodies list for the IS, again why is there no illuminated scuff plate option for the GS?! And side shades as an option would've been nice too. And no heated steering wheel option YET? I don't need to mention that the once groundbreaking 300HP in 1997 hasn't gone up even 1 horse in over 8 years. As it now stands, an Avalon could likely beat a GS3, heck now an IS can too!! Isn't this car supposed to be sport luxury?

btw, why no yellow fogs on 430? Both are now same !?? And I couldn't choose ventilated seats on the GS3, is it not an option?

The IS isn't available yet & the GS will add more stuff available in future model years I'm sure, & I think after the redesigned LS comes out in fall 06(likely), the GS will be upgraded to the GS460 too.

Yellow fogs have been gone. The last Lexus model to carry yellow fogs is the IS which will now be replaced soon.

Ventilated/heated seats are available for the new GS3.

An IS350 will always be faster and handle better than a GS300/350, as the IS is a smaller lighter car. Just like a G35 will outperform an M35, and a 330i will outperform a 530i.

I say good riddance to the yellow fogs... of course, that's just my personal opinion.
