GS to IS? Has anyone done it?
First off I know this might sound stupid but i just want to hear peoples opinions and experiences.
i just got a 08 GS350 AWD and am debating switching for a IS250 AWD. Don't get me wrong i love the GS it's classy, well built and pretty fast. The thing about it is i'm only 23 and find it a pretty big luxury sedan to have at this age. I find the look of the IS would suit me more. Anyways what i really want to know is will i miss the power of the GS? or will the fun factor of the IS make me forget about it?
I took the IS for a test drive but it was a short one and it's hard to tell on such a short test.
p.s. they should really make a IS350 AWD

my opinion would be to ditch the GS for a 350. Buying a 250 wouldnt give you much fun factor or performance. trust me you will be sorry if you dont get an IS350. my two cents......

Keep the GS.
The IS250, albeit more economical, does not have the performance that you would crave. And you'll be hit hard with the immediate depreciation of your GS, making the step-down less frugal.
I say, keep the GS, and modify accordingly for better handling.

wanna trade for a 07 black on black 350 with nav rear sunshade headlamp washers and illuminating scuff plates? stock tires already have snow tires on them so you could get around in the snow up there in montreal and trust me...... awd ain't nothing... it's all about the tires
all my mods in my signature i'll then part out... i'll let you keep the halo's and custom eyelids

please, stick with your AWD GS...
You can make it look sick and sporty, just look in the GS section....
