2010 GS is pretty much the same as 2011.
I can't believe someone is actually considering a Camry over the car I've just bought recently.

118k miles
I preferred to drive the gs.
The 2012 Camry is not as attractive as the previous generation Camry 07 -2011. Get the gs

Cool

I have a 2008 GS 350 AWD and a 2012 Camry XLE and the difference between both is night and day. Take a drive in the Camry and then take a drive in the GS and you will definitely see the step up in quality and comfort in my opinion. I bought the Camry XLE for my wife because we were looking to save on gas and need a reliable car. Warranty is great. Whole Toyota Care thing. Whenever my wife wants to get rid of it I will take it as my DD because I think it will last for a long time.

Now...35K for the 2012 Camry XLE? I got mine for WAY cheaper than that!!!
You need to get to way less than 30K and that's no joke!!!

I have to disagree. Even without the Power button pressed on the GS it will still smoke the 268 HP Camry anyday. Tested and proven from an owner of both!

Its all about personal preference but I would much rather buy a Lexus GS. Its something that you can be proud of owning and love driving. The toyota is something you have to drive and mainly use just to get you from A to B and not give a **** about it as a car.

Ive found a few that have caught my eye, a 2008 and 2010 model. The 2008 has the Levinson sound, bumpers with the sensors etc.
Is there any difference in the 2008 and 210 model ?

Thanks

I like this choice used lexus vs new camry, personally I would buy a used lexus because I compare a lexus and camry side by side, I definitely love the lexus, drive, look, feel, and everything good about the lexus, camry is just a camry,

thank you
