Default Any households with 2 4GS?

Time to replace the other car. We like a lux midsizer. Already have a GS FSport. I look at everything and it seems that a "base" GS still has the best value. Two 4GS in one home?

Would look rather cheesy. Try the new IS?

Why not look at something else.. I would like to have a different car in the family... My wife has a 2011 fx35 lease and they had a sick lease deal about a year ago but I decided against it because 2 of the same car truck would be boring to me. I like driving my wife's fx35 but wanted something different so I got the gs350.. If you want to stay with lexus why not a es350 or rx350.. Take a look at the m37x or rlx.. There leases are pretty good, I know the leases on the gs350 are great right now because I shopped everything in the class and it boiled down to the gs and m37x for me.. The 535 was $250 more as was the a6 .. The 528 was about $50 more but a 4 cylinder on that size car did not do it for me.. The E class was $100 more for a left over old body .. The TL also has a decent lease as does the rlx and new mdx...

All depends on needs we have 3 cars but each serve a purpose. But I would get something different just because.

For me, it's better to mix it up, more options for travel and cargo. I own a GS F sport and my wife has an RX350. The RX is really nice for road trips or if we need to carry more stuff, plus it's AWD where mine is RWD so good in the snow. We have kids though, and she likes SUV.

I thought of this as well...

my wife wanted a bigger car, looked at RX Fsport... which is cheap compared to GSF...

ended up with honda pilot... which seats 8. size did matter in my story.

Ditto! My wife has a obsidian RX350 and I have a Starfire GS-F Sport

The other car is a leased 13 touareg which feels very drab after i drive my f sport. To my surprise, i am only 2 thousands something under water only after 9 months. I had such a great deal with zero drive off too. I think a part of it is due to VCI's idiotic move to drop the residual and jack the mf this month. If I were to get the same car in Orange Co CA, my payment would be $118/mo higher. Going back to topic, RX just doesnt do it for me. Would probably take an ESh for a commuter if they had a good program. Another alterntive is the 528, which is cheap now because the facelifted 14 is coming next month.

36 mo/ 12k mi in OC CA with our high tax and registration fees, I have standing offers of 35x$536 for a base GS msrp $53145 and $1000+35x499 for a base 528 with nav msrp $509xx. Can probably get it to 36x$500.
