Yesterday I dropped my GS off at the dealer for more stupid little warranty stuff and they had a GX sitting in the service drive. Maybe I will get on the list and give the dealer both my Jeep and my GS for a GX. No offense to the RX lovers but my mother had one and I hated it. I won't even take one as a loaner from the dealer if I have a choice. I will say this, my current loaner is a 2001 ES and it is really a nice car. Not as nice as my GS but the ES is really nice, IMO. . .

Alexus,

Where in New York are you? I just bought a 99 GS4 with 17's spoiler, nav...black w/tan...and I live in Rochester..We have been getting hammered with snow. Although I have driven in this crap all my life, I'm still concerned about driving the GS in it. I have 16 rims and Nokian Haks on order. In the mean time I won't let my 93 Acura Legend (w/4 blizzaks) go until I see just how bad/good the Gs4 handles in the snow with my new set-up. What are you driving on for the winter.

Default Keep the Acura

Wineohs, keep the Acura, man!!! I bought my '99 GS 400 this fall and it is HORRIBLE in the snow. I'm lucky to have an F150 4x4, but took the Lex to a garage to have Borla strapped on during a light snow couple weeks ago. Won't do that again!
Bewtween the car getting sandblasted and covered with salt, along with the chance of wiping it out----why take the chance???
