My Gs is getting old and it needs to be replaced the two cars im thinking of right now are the Gs430 or the M45. Your opinions and knowledge would help me to make my decision.

 

when you said replace with gs430, what generation (yr) are you talking about

 

The M45 is badass, but once you go lexus, anything else just seems a little bland.

 

I love the new M45, especially when it's kitted out it's pretty rare and definitely a blast to drive.... but then again for all practical usage and timeless presense..... .Lexus is just always on top..... I'd love to have an M45 though.... I like their commercials

 

If u can, wait for the gs460. Other wise u have to ask yourself do I want more power (m45) or more lux (GS430)

 

I have a 2nd gen GS and test drove the M45. Very sporty. Power is a little different than a GS. Don't know how to explain it. You just have to drive it a feel for yourself.
Bottom line, just comparing cars, I'd go for the GS430. A lot more luxury, comfort, and quality, but you give up a little bit of power and sport.

 

even though i own a gs400 i would take the m45, i think its more exclusive and i love the body, bet it looks beautiful VIP'd or something... the interior is elegant and roomy.... i guess change isnt always a bad thing.


edit : compare the gs body with the m45 body....you'll see what im talking about.

 

I don't like the taillights on the new Gloria...if they fix it I would consider buying it...

I just waiting for the r35 skyline coming out.... I would trade anything I have for it..

 

my thoughts exactly

 

 

The interior and features on the new M45 is great. Not crazy about the exterior style. I would hold off for the GS460

 

a have both infiniti and lexus (prefer japanese vehicles over German) i love both brands but they seem like opposites. i own the previous gen Gs300 its soo smooth, styling is still very sexy and modern today. downside is that that car is the worst handling car i've owned, very slow(can be fixed by buying a 430) and has 0 acceleration and is a little small inside compared to some of the opposition. I also own the Qx56, great car **** loads of power (has a lot more all road power than the lexus) roomy and comfy. Downside interior detail isn't up to par with lexus (the M45 i think is far more impressive) and its not as refined. One thing i must praise LExus for is customer car, in terms of that theres nothing like lexus. WIth that being said Infiniti's isnt bad either(get a badass G35 lowner - blew an M3 Cabrio's doors off at 140). Tomorrow im gonna go test drive both cars to see which one i like better. Thanks for the help.

 

since when can a G35 beat a M3?

 

it was a loaner o5' i pullled behind thisn M3 cabrio at 90 he took off i followed and just drafted behind him.(he had his top down) i jus followed and when i was doin nothing but gaining speed i went in for the pass on the left and blew his doors off at 140+.

 

haha, If I have my top down, I wouldn't want to drive 140+ either...
what is the governed top speed for the G35?
