That's because they are overpriced.
The GS is a very nice car though.
I hate what Bangle is doing to BMW designs. I'd never buy one of those fugly cars.

outsells, yes. better service, questionable. better reliability, yes. but the article is talking about converting BMW loyalists. BMW loyalists care about the feel of the car and driving experience more than anything...and i dont think lexus will be able to emulate that. I have driven a 330ci and a IS---. sure the bimmer had more power...but that aside, that car just felt more connected to the road than the lexus. This is just my opinion...and Im not even a BMW loyalist (as i dont own a BMW). In fact, i think bimmer are waaay overpriced for what you get. But the point the article was making...converting BMW loyalists...i think that will be a very difficult task for lexus...which is known to make boats

Merc was the target in the early 90s and Lexus succeeded in removing them from their #1 spot as luxury import in the US.
BMW, given its recent problems with iDrive and Bangle, is quite vulnerable. BMW use to think that their loyal customers would always remain so, no matter what. But the recent 2-3 years have proven otherwise. BMW should be afraid...very afraid.

Denny Clements, general manager of Lexus Division, says the time is right for Toyota's premium brand to win over BMW loyalists disaffected by that brand's move toward polarizing design and complicated electronic controls.
Mr. Clements knows what he's talking about.

It was always my opinion that the GS430 was the car that was comparable to the M Series (assuming you are talking about the Infiniti M45 and not the BMW M5). Anwyay, I'm not really huge on the new looks of the GS. It is possible that it will grow on me when I see it in person or from different angles. At this point it does look way to "fat" for me. Hopefully my mind will change when I see it in person. I didn't really like the new Acura TL until I saw it in person.
