Could be the lack of lip and rear spoiler that's giving you the impression that the v6's are longer. May even the stance of the GS with the 15"s rims as well. Trying to think too if the GS's sit a tad lower than the RS

I had my eyes play the same tricks on me too; this is the same answer I came up with. When I first got my car I thought the gs bumper looked about 1 or two inches longer (forward) where the bumper meets the fender, but all the parts swap so that can't be right.Nd4SpdSe wrote:Could be the lack of lip and rear spoiler that's giving you the impression that the v6's are longer.

ditto - if you had an rs with no lip and no spoiler next to a gs with a lip and a spoiler the illusion would be that the rs would look shorter...and as far as your gf going to the wrong car... no commentmr1in6billion wrote:I had my eyes play the same tricks on me too; this is the same answer I came up with.
