Was wondering what people preference was mk1 or mk2 GS300,I prefer the shape of the mk1 and find it has a bit more road presence than the mk2 ,also it is a bit rarer than the mk2 but then i am byast for obvious reasons smile.gif

I guess you are talking about looks?

I voted for the series I. Better looking in sport form although the lights, both front and back, look a little dated. From certain angles the series II is very plain. I think the money spent on the series I for the Italian designer was money well spent.

Spec, interior and driving the series II wins hands down.

Thats what I was thinking!
mudzs
Well i was gonna include it but as no one really knows what it is gonna look like i did not .my local dealer said today he had seen the pics of the car and the front end is different to the ones in the pics on this site which i showed him today icon14.gif

That ad is a classic example of picking a bad location for your photo! It's been up for sale before, several months ago.

The Mk1 GS definately more muscular looking, but my 2hrs behind the wheel of a current GS430 - such a nice car to drive cool.gif
mudzs
I should have stated looks in the poll as i am sure the mk2 is the better car to drive etc
jac114
no supprise what i voted for..but if colin lets us have a go in his 430 i might change my mind..lol
mudzs
Quite even at the moment i thought the MK2 would get much more votes just go's to show the mk1 still has something
ColinBarber
The Italians may make rubbish cars but they normally get the looks right smile.gif

Im well up for the MK1, that was my aim but I ended up with a cheaper deal to get an LS400 !!! I prefer the LS400 bigger interior size though.
mr2point4
Has to be the Mk1 - another completely unbiased view.

Although the vote seems fairly even, going by replies only it's 8-1 to the Mk1. Mk2 owners seem to be the silent half huh.gif

series 2 i like.. but dont like the rear end of the series2...

I liked rods interior of his series 2... really nice... mark 1 has a dreadfull interior
mudzs
Yeah must admit i have seen some pretty bad colour combo's on the mk1 like the brown dashboard.but overall the interior is not that bad just the colours of some
ColinBarber
The brown interior is very nasty and the overall look of the series I interior really dates the car.

I prefer the Series I (Sport) myself, but I like the spec of the Series II and the fact they have a 4.3l V8 option. I'm not keen on the front or rear lights (front too Mercedes) of the Series II.

I don't drive fast, but for a car that looks very nice (Series I Sport), it's a shame there isn't more power under the hood.

My Dad received the monthly Lexus magazine a couple of weeks ago and it had a couple of pictures of the Series III along with an article. It looks very nice, more aggressive than the Series II, but still stylish, and is pushing near 300bhp.

Couldn't agree more!!! biggrin.gif

My 2 cents: I like the backside of the MKI better, but not the front, it just looks like a big Carina. I like the MkII better overall, despite the reart light clusters.

I have to see the MkIII in the flesh before I can really comment on that. That'll be some months away...
