2012 lexus gs250 - literally the best possible car buy on the market right now for a comfy but still sensibly priced 4 door car

Exterior looks: Fairly normal, understated, professional. Euro competitors might win here
Interior looks: Absolutely perfect, delightful. One of the best ever done.
Engine: 2.5L v6 200hp, good power and still economical

Compared to equivalent euro rivals, it's got a nicer interior (in my opinion), will be cheaper to buy & maintain, and won't give you the 'insecure trying to impress other people' look
am I missing something?

interior, beautiful
luxurious, heated and cooled leather seats, quiet, reliable, nice without making you look insecure like BMW, Merc and Audis do.
Assuming you want something nicer than a typical toyota corolla, but don't want to buy german, isn't this just perfect? utterly perfect?

I mean it's fine man, nothing about it is particularly great, but nothing is particularly bad either. It's far from exciting to drive

Just get a GS350 or IS350

i like the 250 because it is the cheapest way of getting the nice interior. I don't think theres a point in getting a bigger engine in a car that is just inherently unsporty like a sedan. 200hp in the gs250 is perfectly ample. If i want a sports car, i'll get an mx5 (I already have one)

The 2.5L still drinks a ton of fuel and is underpowered for the cylinder count and displacement. Don't believe me that it's not economical? Go test drive both on the same loop.

thats okay, still better than the 350

Post your GS250 with bread on hood.

Just buy a Toyota
Real Lexus' have a V8

>200hp, good power

>>28563980
this is why power to weight ratio is way better

I would call 200hp good power in something really small like a Miata. I'd call it adequate power in a mid sized sedan like the GS250.
