that's an easy DIY, I did it on my 2GS. Takes an hour to take off jack up the car, take off the wheels, cover the surrounding area, apply coats of paint, then you let it dry overnight, and then you apply stickers in the morning...and it looks stock.

BMW, Lexus, Audi, Benz, Jag have longer generations as luxury buyers don't want the cars to change so soon.

I find the calipers on the GS fine and huge. The current M35/45 has awful looking ones, like the 2GS. The optional Infiniti calipers are nice looking.

I like all the suggestions and just add better electronics. Including a real stereo system with big bass to go with the clarity.
I'd also like to see more trims options. I mean we should be able to choose from several package options forthe car you want.

I don't think that will make it a real M5/E63/RS6 competitor though

- Something other than the badge to differentiate the gs460 from gs350


What do you guys think?
I have been saying this from 2007 when I first came to Lexs from Infiniti. I wanted more aggressive styling, larger wheels, and the option to tune the car a bit fro the factory by way of factory offered sports package. Not over priced F sport stuff that can be added for far more than a sports and aero it from Infiniti

1) V10 and Twin Turbo V8
2) Paddle shifters - ideally same transmission as ISF
3) Automatic Power Stabilizer standard on all V8 and V10 models
4) Bridgestone RE-11 non-RFT tires, with full-size spare
5) Keep the touch screen - I don't want that f***ing mouse
6) Nav/infomatics system of same calibre as Microsoft Sync in Lincoln (i.e. with casual voice recognition that works) with bluetooth stereo, 250gb HD and no motion-lock
7) Multi-colour head-up display for tachometer, speedometer and nav
8) LF-A style gauges
9) Backup camera view that shows the track so you know where the car will go more precisely
10) Seats with more angle adjustability, and seat cushion extenders. Basically more like a BMW seat.
11) Styling as attractive as 3GS when 3GS came out
12) 19" rims
13) No Rattles
14) Full leather trimmed dash - not just console like HS250, but the whole thing like in the LS600h. Even Hyundai and Caddy CTS has this so GS should as a more premium product.

Brighter interior LED lights and steering wheel backlit buttons.

haha

screw all other improvements.

100% rattle-free will be enough to justify calling it a 4GS new model.

"NEW FOR 2012. NO RATTLES !!!! yay!"
