Default dont hate me guys

i just traded in my 04ul for a 06 gs430. its a huge step down as far as luxury but i like the sportier feel.. and besides my ul got hit 3 times in da exact same spot. the last straw was one morning i woke up and found my fog light and half my front bumper hanging on the floor.

I just drove a GS350 the other day and was very smitten by it, so I can only imagine it better with the V8 engine.

im pleased with the car. not as much luxury when i had on the stock rims but believe it or not when i put the 20s on it rides smoother. it feels way faster than the ls430.

t.s. i might pass on 45th today....

Welcome to 3GS ownership, it's a very sweet car. I guess all the Lexus cars are sweet but the 3GS, well...I'd better not say more here.

Did you post pics in the 3GS forum?

i think i was born to drive lexus, they should pay me... so far i had 2 92 sc400 with the 2000 kit on them a 91 ls400, a 04ls430 ul and now the 06 gs430. i nearly bought the 05 benz s600 (its a powerhouse) but it sucks lexus for life.. i will post pics right after the next car wash or when i tint the windows.

If you have time... let us know how LS430 and GS430 compare.. ride quality, visibility, comfort, performance (GS sportier of course)... the overall feeling..

The new GS430 is a nice car, but when I drove it back to back with an '04 LS430 I thought the LS felt every bit as quick, and SIGNIFICANTLY higher quality and more impressive. I actually thought the LS430 Sport handled better, too. The GS is definitely a nice ride, though.
