I think you guys spend too much time looking at the wheel and not the road. The thing I like about my 4 spoke is when I’m cruising down a highway with one hand on the wheel, I can hold the wheel at the bottom. Can’t do that on my Lexus GS350 and I wish I could.

that’s a good question. They are all differently optioned so they really are different. I’ll try to do that in a separate thread since it’s not on topic.

It's not just looks it's feel too. I dunno how you drive without feeling the wheel.

Usually with my knees so I can eat french fries, buy apple stock, and text memes to my girlfriends.

I liked my GS350 F-Sport as well! I found it in white pearl with burgundy leather, Mark Levinson and RWD! Still miss that car sometimes. It actually had very good driving dynamics and chassis for it's size and was lighter than the RC 2 door they made. Definitely agree about fuel economy though - my 996 does better without trying hard. But that's what you get with 12 injectors I guess.

Can't buy Japanese cars. Pearl Harbor.
Can't buy German cars. Well... You know.
Can't buy British cars. They burned our white house.
Can't buy a Swedish car. Owned by the CCP.
Can't buy an Italian car. Part of the Axis.
Can't buy a French car. They suck.

This is why I exclusively drive Russian cars.
