Steering is weighted heavily, though the ratio isn't quite quick enough to make it feel exceptionally nimble. Handling overall is quite good, and an adjustable suspension allows the driver to dial up a sportier, tighter ride as well. A little more tightness to the steering and brakes would allow for a more involving experience of the GS's plentiful grip and balance.

The tester was priced at $73,000--at which point a similarly-equipped BMW 5-Series would run about $5,000 more and offer about 40 less horsepower.

In all, GS 460 is a competent luxury cruiser with mildly sharpened reflexes. If your priorities include top-notch quality, reliability and resale value, make sure this one's on your list of test drives.
