The new GS430

I saw couple of guys this morning testing the new GSs They had a blueish one and a red one. They also had a new 5 with them. I am assuming they are comparing it with the 5. But overall I really like the look of the GS430. Watch out RL

Yea I know the GS wont be out till late. Thats why it was so ironic, It was 3 japanese guys in each new Gs and two in the bimmer 545, and they also had a 2004 Gs with them to. The car looks awesome in person.

Well appearances are subjective. I like the grill on the GS far better than the Bucktooth Beaver look on the Maxima.

True but the grill on the new Maxima is the least of its styling problems and is easily fixed with a billet grill replacement.

Regardless of styling, the L on the front is going to sell it...in droves.

phile is right.

All they need is to put the "L" on the car and it'll sell.
