yes all 3gs has rear power shade. not much of a wow factor imho

2gs to 3gs, umm.... to me yes it's worth it, but mostly coz' the 2gs is outside. new features in the 3gs like start button, dvd and mp3, modern design, seats, they are worth the upgrade

Lol, i 2nd that. BTW, I am liking the new updated refreshed 2009 Audi A6 and will be getting rid of my GS300 in the spring to get the 2009 A6 with the 3.0 Turbo engine. I have some regrets with my GS. Not a good Lexus product in my opinion, too many flaws, problem, flimsy steering, etc.
