I drove GS3_tek's car (can u guess what kind?) today. For city driving, the GS300 is basically like the GS400, except the GS4 has more omph to it. But on the highway, the GS400 has the kind of passing power you'll want. Looking back, if i could get a GS300, i would simply because I do mostly city driving.

I think it's because I got use to the power

Not to mention, one of my brake caliper was stuck. That explains why I was getting 13mpg all along

Thanks for the input everyone I like e-man's point about what possible regret would I have if I went with the 400. It looks like it will be the 400. Time to continue hunting. I will post pics once I find the right one and pick it up.

Good call PMIRO2, figuring you made the decision to go with the GS400.

It had ALOT to do with it. I've sat in both the normal GS and the SportDesign and those subtle differences in the interior made a big difference to me. When I found out it came it's the only GS that came in Graphite Gray pearl, I knew that's the configuration I had to have. I specifically looked for this combo for a couple months before finally finding one.

With those other cars in my garage, I definately didn't buy the GS for speed although I'm slightly tempted to turbo it.......ahh who am I kidding? I'm all talk and I'd never get around to doing that.

........unless of course I win the lotto.
