Default Ugrade to GS350

I currently own an 07 ES350...Been considering upgrading to a 08 GS350. Is there anything I should be concerned about with this year/model?

How do folks like the GS350?

How about we get some driver's reports on 2GS3 and 2GS4 vs 3GS350 posted here?

I'm considering a 3GS350 to replace my 2GS430, but am nervous to lose the torque advantage. I realize the 350 is as fast or a hair faster, but I think the psychological loss of the V8 has me frozen.

Maybe it's already been posted?!

I personally would not get a newer GS simply due to the fact that they look hideous.

It's similar to what Acura did to the TL.

And what BMW did to all of their newer body styles after 2005.
