Default IS 300, GS 300 or LS 430

So I'm looking to upgrade from my 2002 Saturn SC2. I'm in the market to spend about 6-12K. I drive 30K miles a year and spend most of the time on the highway. I'm trying to decide between an IS 300, GS 300/ES 300 and the LS 430. Can anyone tell me the biggest differences. I realize the IS 300 is a smaller and more sporty care but I really don't know the differences between the GS/ES models and then the LS 430. What car would you choose if you were around 40, in sales and drove 30-40K miles a year? and why.

Thanks,

Chad

The ES is probably the right car for you... It will get the best fuel economy and also be the cheapest overall to maintain. It won't be as sporty as an IS300, as big as the GS or LS, but it is probably the best car for that type of milage requireme...
