Money no object, would you get a GS or an LS? And, why?

Depends on what you want.

GS430: 4 door sedan with a young and sporty look.

LS430: 4 door sedan with an older more mature look.

What demographic are you in?

I prefer the GS430. I think it's a great car, reliable, problem free, comfortable, and looks sporty while having much room inside. If I could, it will be my next car.

If you're into a luxury cruiser with lots of interior space get the LS.

If you're into a somewhat smaller, more agile car go with the GS430.

IMO, both offer great value compared to competing brands.

If you want more aggressive handling there are lots of mods for the GS. Not much available for the new LS.

BTW, I'll be 54 this month so I'd fit in the LS "demographic", but I drive a GS 400 and I've got a GS430 on order. LS is too sedate for me.

I would go with the GS430, because of the tuning options and the sportiness. I think almost everyone on this board would choose the GS, either because they have a GS now and love it, or because we all love sporty cars here at clublexus.
