I don't think we'll see a supercharged LS430 from the factory.....at least brand-new. The typical LS buyer is too conservative, luxury-oriented, and tends to be from an older crowd. And even a regular LS430 is a good 60K or more...which was over the thread limit.

Now a supercharged GS?....that would be much more likely...... yes, even brand-new. It would be the natural addition for the AWD GS coming out in the spring.

Too many choices used. I'm going for one new car per category. Not into pickup trucks, so left that out.

New:
Porsche Cayman/Boxster (with practically no options...!)
Mercedes-Benz E350 (well-optioned)
Lexus GX
Lexus GS350 (loaded)
Honda Odyssey (loaded)

(if you'll accept a sixth and seventh, I'll toss in the Chrysler Hemi 300C and the pre-Chris Bangle BMW 5-series)

Since you write great review on cars, i was just wondering what made you pick the gto? I test drove one before and really like the car.

My list:

The new generation LAND CRUISER
GX470
e9X M3
C6 Z06
M6
