2013
The 2013 Lexus GS 350 has so many things done right that it's not easy to pick the thing done best. After some consideration, I'm going with the highly-adjustable driver seat included in both the F Sport and Luxury Packages. Some seats are supportive in aggressive driving. Some are comfortable. Few are both. These are among the few. Adjustments with either package include bi-level lumbar (enabling a broader, better-fitting shape than the more common vertically-adjustable lumbar bulge), thigh support, and side bolsters (the latter no longer offered by BMW on the 5-Series). The Luxury Package adds the same adjustments on the passenger side, upper seat back adjusters, and richer leather. The harder, less adjustable, less form-fitting seats in the 5-Series are neither as supportive nor nearly as comfortable.

A V8 is no longer available in the GS. And unlike the sixes in competing Audis and BMWs, that in the GS 350 is not turbocharged. Personally, I still prefer natural aspiration. There's much less midrange grunt without a turbo, but wind the GS 350's 3.5-liter V6 past 4,000 rpm and it comes alive with a zing and a purity of sound you just don't get with a turbine spinning in the exhaust flow. A "sound symposer" pipes choice notes to the cockpit, deepening and enhancing the engine's already sweet song. The automatic is a six-speed (carried over like the engine) rather than the newer 8-speed box in the LS and 2014 IS. But it partners very well with the engine, usually finding the ideal ratio promptly and smoothly without your explicit input.
