Kirk Bell
The GS is certainly a nice car, but it's just nice. There's no passion. It's not what I'd look for in a sports sedan. BMW, Audi, and Infiniti do it better. Plus, this car has some room/comfort issues for taller passengers.
Rick Cotta
The GS' faults aren't glaring, but noticeable when the vehicle comes with a $50,000 price tag. Acura RL and Infiniti M are smarter choices and less expensive.
