Getting Spoiled
I've had my GS for a couple of months now, and realizing I'm getting used to the comfort and performance. I was on a business trip this week and even after upgrading my rental car to a Benz, could not believe how I wished I had my GS 350. I had a 5 four drive and after the first 30 min was wishing I'd drove the entire trip in my GS. The extra $100/day for the Benz was def not worth it. I also can't stand to trade cars with the wife who's driving a Venza. I'm turning into a Lexus snob. Yikes ! I never used to see a big difference between vehicles until I bought a Lexus. Damn.

My wife drives an ES 350 and I had been driving a TL. It was my wife who suggested I look at the GS and said the F-Sport was the direction I should go. Guess I have one smart wife. 
Now I can't driving anything other than my GS.

I hear you. I had a tough time giving up my Audi S5 convertible for the GS, but now that I've driven it for a few months I don't see how I could ever go back. Although not as fast as the Audi, it has plenty of power, and the interior and ML sound system just blow me away everytime I drive it.
We also have a G37 Convertible, and although it is nice top-down, I always pass when I know I'm gonna drive.
