Today I saw four new GS's on the road and in a parking lot. I think it is selling pretty well. But so do the new Acura RL and the new Infiniti M. I have seen quiet a few of them every day.

I have seen only two new GSs and they were both silver and the GS 300 model makes me wonder if it was the same one. But it looks great when it's out on the street...

I've seen quite a few here in Chicago. Usually when I head up north on I-94 west or towards work on the 90 heading toward O'hare airport. The funny thing is at certain angles its really easy to confuse the GS with the new Avalon. Has anyone had this problem? But at night its simple to distinguish between the 2 because of the GS's HIDs

Yeah, I have done this too, thinking I am seeing a new GS...oops, Nope! It's the new Avalon (same silouette).

...which is good for the Avalon. Not so great for the GS.

But if you got a new Avalon, you got a hecuva car, it seems. It's pretty darn nice inside and out. Pretty darn quick too with the big engine.

I've seen three GS300 's, two RL's, and one M35 in the Charlotte area to date. NO 430's or M45 's spotted as yet.

All three GSes that I've seen are black. First time I've seen a GS430 was in the beginning of Feb, in Las Vegas. My jaw dropped, it was a beautiful black one, just stunning. Seen two more black ones in the Bay Area, possibly the same owner? Haven't seen a CLS, new A6 or M yet, seen a couple RLs and 5's in my 75 mile commute to work.

only GS i seen are at the dealership never saw one on the road, but i sat in the RL today and its pretty nice in there, kinda weird in the backseat, but when u get in the car, there is a welcome flashing on the dash, and it glids up and once u press the iginiton, the lighs on the dash all light up and all, its pretty sweet in there. the acura place was closed and the car was unlocked so i took the opportunity to look and explore the car, just wanted to let yall know of my first experience in the RL

I also keep thinking I'm seeing a new GS from a distance and it turns out to be an Altima! That's no joke.

I did see one new GS here though but I'm in a small town so I don't expect to see many.

Actually it may look more like a MAXIMA not an ALTIMA..the ONLY reason the car resembles the MAXIMA (i think) is the fat rear/rear window....anyway...

FInally I saw my 2nd 3GS BLACK 430 by my work. in Yorba linda. I thought it was YL06GS's but it had chrome 430 stock wheels...nice! ...WOW!..beautiful car....no doubt.... I finally saw a gray M35 which seemed like it was dropped and I really liked it. Except the rear lights that car is very good... .

As an owner of a 3GS i do lookout for a 3GS just to see but its been very difficult to spot one.

How do you know he/she is 18 ? Or does the driver just look young ?

sorry if this offends any of the 3rd Gen owners

i never liked the comparisons and was tired of hearing ..Nice Maxima ...
