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

You also might have seen an MX-6. They look pretty similar if you aren't paying attention.

They look similar enough for my girlfriend to go to the MX-6's passenger door instead of my car.

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.

LOL, yeah probably.
She wasn't paying attention, that's why I said that you can mistake it if you really aren't paying attention at all. The front looks very similar, if not a little wider.
Oh well, I tried :( lol

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 comment :roll:
