My DD is an 06 GS300 (3rd Gen/new body style). Even with the 3L engine, it's got plenty of punch for luxury car driving. 24k on the clock...not a single issue. If you follow the bbs, you'll see comments about intermittent rattles, etc. Nothing more serious. The GS350 should fly...but it's not a race car. I'm getting mid-20's city and consistent 30+mpg on the highway (pleasant surprise).

One thing I can say about the Lexus forums I've visitied...adolescence to the extreme. I'm amazed how many 18 - 22 year olds (or similar maturity level) own these $50k cars. 20" wheels, drop kits, K&N filters (unlock at least 30 hp...of course), how fast have you gone?, etc. Don't expect Pelican when you go there. But I highly recommend the car.

BTW...the trunk isn't huge, but I have no trouble with 2 sets of golf clubs, suitcases, etc.
