Gs300 or gs430
Need your help guys, is it worth the extra money to go from the 300 to 430, im mainly gonna be driving around town, city driving, and some interstate driving, not a speed demon, but does the 300 have sufficent power?

I cant speak for the GS 300 as I've never driven one, but I love the power of the V8 my 430 puts out. Best thing to do is to go and test drive both models and see which one is best for you.

If I had to do it all over again I would have gone for the 430. I will be looking into a new GS in a year or two so I will probably be getting the 450H, but the 350 would still be an option.

And the GS460 (supposedly available toward the end of the year) horsepower rating should be near or at 400hp.
Man if Lexus doesn't come out with a Sports Package (e.g. 1/2 to 1 inch drop, slightly firmer suspension, and wide tires) for a car with that amount of power ... I don't know what to say
Most new BMW 550 I see on the road have the Sports Package. Obviously the demand is there and from the discussion I've been reading at CL, I see lots of interest for a "sporty" GS as well.
