I Was Wrong!
I Was Wrong!
I remember the days we debated whether to wait for the 350 or get the 300. Before getting a GS I said it shouldn't matter. After getting the GS300, I said again it shouldn't matter. Now that I have the 350, I know that it does matter. First, the car is quicker. My wife felt it right off. She wants to drive it instead of hers. She has a lead foot.
Second, the 350 has better, bigger brakes.
Third, the tranny doesn't do that jerky thing the 300 does when engaging it.
Fourth, the carpet seems a little thicker. Maybe that's because of the color difference...or my imagination but it seems better.
Bottom line, I love my GS350.
You guys that said it was better to wait, you were right. I'm man enough to admit I was wrong.

I had the option from Lexus to buyback my 06 gs and get me a 07 gs 350, from this special buyback program Lexus was running. I decided since I don't want to lease basically the same car for another 4 years, just keep the car I have currently have and then when my lease runs out in 2 years upgrade to Mercedes benz e63
But if I had the option from the begining to choice an 06 or the 07 gs, it would be a no brainer...who doesn't want more horsepower!

Yeah I have a few things in the works. New floor mats, Tanabe NF210 springs and wheels should all arrive by The Brown tomorrow.
After that, here's the line-up:
tint
aluminum dash kit
subwoofer
That's about it. Maybe a front lip, maybe a rear lip. More likely not, I think it looks good without a kit.
