Default why did you get a LS and not GS??

I bought a LS because i had an is250 so i felt like the gs was only a little bigger inside so i decided to get the biggest sedan lexus makes. How about you? was it because of its size? or is it something that you dont really like about the GS series? if so, what would that be?

Default 2 cars for 2 different purposes

Buy a GS if a need for some kind of sportiness. Buy an LS for comfort. With that said, and to no offense to any GS owners, I've always thought the GS is boring, and if one wishes for something sporty, I think there are other options.

Just my .02

I have both and felt the GS was a nice upgrade to the IS. The GS was a little small for me but the wife loves it. I drive the LS for the lager luxury ride especially with 3 or more in the car and the air ride is the ultimate comfort.

I had an '06 GS 430. It was kinda rough riding and didn't have the upgrades in the '08 LS I have now.

But it did have some features the LS doesn't have. Like accommodating the two different sets of TPMS with the flip of a switch above the passenger foot well.

Also had passenger memory seat switches.

Like I said, you gotta drive the new GS. I never had any interest in a GS until this GS...

I had a GS and while it's a great car, it just wasn't what I wanted. I wanted the epitome of Lexus!

The LS suspension is more beefier then the GS and also got the bigger lazy boy seats.
