This Lexus GS is f'n nicee!

Shit it's hotter than an M45 w/ stock aerokit! Although I think if an M45 had the same treatment it'd be hotter =D.

Anyways yeah, the GS gets a meh from me, but with this kit i think it looks fucking nice.

I'm not an inifinit hater...but in this case GS > M, imo.

Although, I'm still trying to decipher the original poster's shit for english original post...

It has a very sleek and sexy design. I think the interior is a way better design then the inifiniti. It has much better materials, and much tighter fit and finish.

I think its a classier, sexier car.

I like the new GS, but I prefer the Infitity interior. GS exterior + Infinity interior =

GS450h > M45

Then all it needs is a manual tranny and a sports package.

Both = Hotness. I personally still prefer the Infiniti M. (About that OEM M45 Aero package ---> )

i agree. i think the gs looks better than the m. i just can't get over the m's tail lights. the front lights look mean though.

and i like the gs's interior better too.

...but i prefer the m45's rims.

Just curious - what don't you like about the interior? I only ask because I think it's the best interior in its class by a pretty fair margin. The real non-stained rosewood trim is probably the in the top 3 wood trims I've ever seen, and I really like the simple flowing lines. My only real criticism is the nav joystick.

As for the exterior, I love the front and side profile of the M but the rear is a little too skinny looking stock and the tailights are kind of bleh. I'm not a huge fan of the GS all around, the interior is only ok and the exterior is bland when un-modded. The modded one above does look nice.

Yikes, best interior under 100k?! Nice edit

I dont like how the center stack is. You have to reach to get to the controls.. just doesnt feel right.

I too prefer the M45 over the GS, but I do like them both. BTW that modded GS has way too much chrome for my liking. Also the extended exhaust tip is :ghey: when you can clearly see the real tinny ass exhaust tip on there.

Have you ever sat in one,.......just curious? I checked one out last year and the design of the stack was great I thought. Everything was easy to get at, with no reaching needed and things were close to hand I found. Maybe I just "fit" the car? I am at the auto show this friday,......I will make sure to get back in and reassess the interior if the car is open again.

I wish the M had the black lacquer trim option from the Fuga's interior. Although you’d have to keep a bottle of Windex handy to keep it looking like that.

Thats cool. I thought the interior set up was kind of odd before getting in one too, but was surprised when I did. It was a highlight of last years autoshow. It was one of those cars (maybe I am the only person who thinks like this) that you get into and think,..........this just fits. The RX8 was the other car at the show that just "FIT" for me.

I am pumped,.......apparently at the off road test track this year they have those new FJ cruisers from Toyota you can drive. If this is true (says on the website),.........I will give a road test report hahaha.



Those interior pics above are . I wish the guages/instrument cluster was not orange though,.......and more like my TSX ones or something.

When I sat in the M the dash board felt too high. Too hard to see over. It was like driving my friends old 90 Cavalier.

The design is nice...suits their SUVs better, especially the orange gauges.

I really liked that style interior when I was driving around a Murano for a month...But for a luxury sedan the interior of the GS is sex.

Ya, I editted because I realized I was talking 100k cad, not usd. I do definitely think it is the best in its class and holds it own even against more expensive cars. Sitting in one is what did it for me - the pics don't really do it justice. The one you linked with the aluminium trim is nice, but (even though I'm not really a fan of wood trim) the black/rosewood interior is really slick.
