Thumbs up
the new review on the gs430 by Motortrend guys are been published in the JUNE issue.

what is HOT
-5.9 sec., baby
-outstanding breaks (108 ft). either they break realll hard, or we are being critical. the distance is impressive, but we could live with a less fade feel.
-ultra-quite; well it is a lexus.

what's not

-need more lateral support on seat. i kind of agree
-ML is good but expensive; solution: visit our site and/or consult with all of our stereo guru.
-wheels/tyres do not feel wheelwells. duh, everyone knows that. so we are always seraching for the best wheel upgrades.

what do you think?

more power, wood, among other things; with almost very little increase in price.

That's the only drawback between GS400 and GS430.
