The new GS is a nice ride for a DD but I wouldn't go as far as calling it bad ass especially since it cant even match the acceleration from the last GS back in the 90's.
Bingo. I like it all except the lackluster straightline performance. C&D tested it recently and it ran like a 15.2 in the 1/4 mile. My old GTP (same as last GS) ran 15.0 stock rated at 30 less HP. that said I know the GS would run circles around it in handing and build quality, but when a Camry SE V6 can totally tromp in acceleration, and a Camry Hybrid and base 4 cylinder are both on it's heels, that is not good.
