Default Not gonna lie; I think my car feels more peppy than it
I will miss the ability of being able to bomb over anything in front of me, but damn, I miss my car

Default I had to pick up my friends GS300 for a 3 hour trip from upstate NY..
...the car just floats down the road. So boring to drive, no feedback in the steeering wheel.

Its like a driving a giant pillow

Default Ha! That's almost what I told him when I gave him the keys...
"Here! Take your rolling bed!"

Default true. 1 thing about Lexus/Toyota is it really feels "soul-less".
i gives me an empty feeling when i drive their cars.
