Default Favorite GS body?

First Gen, Second Gen or Third Gen???? I personally own a second but love the long classy body of the first. What do you guys like?

2nd, only because the lack of seeing the third in person....

Rest assured, I'll have a third in a couple years

I agree with NT2SHBBY.

I'm sure once the new GS is out, it'll grow on us and it will make the 2nd gen look old and outdated.

true, we'll have to move on eventually and the 3rd gen will be our fav.

I think my love for the 1st Gen is more deep rooted, since I drooled over them since 15yrs old! LOL There was such a feeling of accomplishement when I drove out of the Lexus dealership with one at 21yrs old! Not a big deal to many, but for me it was a long term goal realized.

My second gen flame really ignited when I joined CL, before then I remember thinking, I could get a GS4, but they are so common, what could I do besides wheels, and drop and a RMM wing?! LOL How wrong I was. My GS4 is probably the first vehicle I had that 100% pleases me aesthetically from EVERY angle, because I tweaked it to my exact liking (stance, aero, mufflers, etc etc)

For me the jury is still out on the 3rd Gen.

Thumbs up 2nd gen

the first time i saw a 1st gen w/ a veilside kit i wanted the 1st gen. then, i joined here and saw how much aftermarket styling and performace were available for the 2nd gen and my purchase tells the rest of the story. from the looks of the p/s jobs our CL p/s guys have done with the 3rd gen it has A LOT of promise too...

2nd gen

Like Derrick said, I love this car from every angle...can't imagine how I'll feel once I get off my lazy **** and install my mods!

As far as the 3rd gen, some of the chops are very interesting, but I think it has lost a bit of the bubble's personality. However, I am sure some of the creativity of CL will solve that.
