Replaced my 07 GS350 This week ..............
Yup, I got a 2014 Genesis R-Spec. ------ 429 hp V8......Zooommm! I now have 2 Genesis. My 2011 which has been Flawless and Rattle/Creak Free for 75,000 MIles and almost 4 years.

What pushed me over the edge was the creaks and rattles. My Dash was taken apart by the dealer 4 times and they still could not fix it. Just do a search on rattles and read away. My dealer probably thinks they fixed it. Mostly because I got tired of complaining.
My 2011 Genesis has been as Flawless as my 2nd Generation GS.
Just don't attribute Lexus reliability to the 3rd Generation GS. You're not fooling anyone here.

Oh, Lexus has some reliable Models, However the GS 3rd Generation is not one of them. I have had more recalls on my 3rd Generation GS that all of the cars I've owned put together. Combine this with the Multiple Brake TSB's (I think at least 3), and I would have still loved the car.

In regards to the creaks and rattles, yes that shouldn't be happening in a luxury car like this. However, if that was your main complaint, all you had to do was stuff felt in between the windshield and dash. It's really an extremely quick and easy fix.
Anyhow, you gotta do what makes you happy. Enjoy the new ride.

Its a nice car, I personally wouldnt get one but it is pretty nice should have waited for the new genesis it looks really nice. The creaks are an issue but on 3GS I have yet to have a creak in my 4GS.
