Hey Guys!

It's been a while since I posted as work and school is just crazy. Any hoot....I'm ready to trade up the ES for something else and have my eyes on a GS or RX.

Practicality suggests the RX is the way to go since I have 2 young kids and its easier getting in and out of the car with them. My 2 yr old sits behind me and her legs are scrunched...

The younger side of me says GS.

What do you guys think?

Hey Ken! Long time. I say go for the GS. You have your GX already. The GS is so much more fun to drive than the RX. Besides, the engine on the GS has more of a roar than the RX.

I'm looking for a GS430 myself. But also have my eye on a RX400h because I'll need something to haul a boat this summer.

Hey LexGrl! Yeah, I haven't been around for a while and when I am on, its a quick gander and off I go. I hope everything is well with you considering the economy and all.

I'm thinking about looking at a GS430 this coming weekend. Looked at an RX330 this past weekend.

Wish me luck on the GS430 its a nice find. 28K miles with NAV and its DWP (Diamond White Pearl).

Hey JSM

If its a small dinghy then the GS will have no problem towing it.

Good luck with the search. I missed out on an 05 GS430 with only 7K miles on it!!! Doh! It was a nice one too black on black.

Keep us posted on what you end up with.

Yeah I see your point of view cadeleon...but to me each car is different because of features and parts used i.e. high quality leather in the lex vs ok stuff in the highlander, etc.
