Default What was your most wow factor after purchasing GS?

I expect that most people will tell like interior, or front look. But could new owners share more about impressions of owning this new GS? Especially I am interested in opinion of previous generation owners, because I really liked previous generation GS feel but I didn't like look. So anything beside of look was improved?

New GS interior over 3rd Gen GS interior is night and day. The increased trunk space alone is a big plus. Steering feel and chassis stability alone in 4th is already light years ahead of the previous. Drive them back to back and you will see why.

Pure and simple answer: the way it drives. No other Lexus sedan drives like it IMHO.

So much but I have to say the huge screen with all the telematics is something. The phone sync'd so easy and seeing it at night its hilarious from outside the car as the screen lights up the entire interior

Not only is the trunk bigger but the trunk lid is about 80% lighter and doesn't have the shocks that the 3GS had. I also like that they got rid of the stupid control box by our left knee from the 3GS. Everything else that I like has already been said. Excellent car!!

My wow factor was the interior. I didn't even go through all the tech gadgets, but the look and feel of the interior is upscale enough that I won't miss my Audi. Maybe it's a BMW rip-off, but that's not a bad thing!

The way it drives was also a revelation. Also, small thing, but for me coming from a convertible I wanted something with a decent sunroof. The GS has one.

I haven't gotten mine yet, but it is on order. There were enough "wows" to make me buy one.
