I had my eyes on the new GS300 since its debut but didn't have the courage to go a test drive. Let's say I'm not too fond with dealing with car salesperson

I'm very curious how the 3rd gen GS is compared to the 2nd gen. I couldn't get these kinds of information from googling "2006 lexus gs". Can you fill out these categories in +/- percentage? For example, if you think the 3rd gen wind noise is slightly (ah roughly 5%) less than the 2nd gen, then it's a plus (because it's better) follow by 5%. It's a bit subjective but I'd like to see your experience.

Here goes:

Wind noise: +5%
Engine noise:
Tire noise:
Suspension noise:
Acceleration:
Softness of leather:
Seat comfort:
Seat support:
Cool factor:
(oh man it's 1 in the morning ... can't think no more )
[ please add your own here]

Others, if you have driven both, please fill them out too. Thanks in advance.
Not to be an ***, but you more than likely wont get many responses in this thread(considering that it is off topic and not your thread ). Your best bet is to start a new thread with those same exact questions, and you will probably get a lot of helpful responses. Or you can do a search where I think some have stated differences. Good luck with your purchase .

Loce, car looks sick with those rims. I am still in love with the blackrims and chrome lip. Very good look. Are you tiniting the windows too?? Runnin around lookin like the batmobile.
