I'm in the market for a GS. I was hoping they come with a manual transmission but it's not an option. I've read that the gas mileage is almost the same between the 6 and v8. The prices seem to be about the same for the two models also. Is there any advantages with the gs3 model?

 

You can easily turbocharge the GS3 down the line if you want more power. It'll easily surpass the GS4 when it comes to making power for the dollar. Other than that, no advantage, well maybe depending on what year you get.

 

gs3 ftw....

 

These threads comparing GS300 to GS400 and GS300 to GS430 should help

 

Thanks for the links.

For the 2nd gen, is black interior ever an option on a white color car?

 

i think 98-00 are the only years you can find white on black.

 

No I saw 2 01+, unless they changed the taillights, in that color combo.
