New GS is to be tuned by Porsche??
I heard and read that the next GS might be tuned by Porsche. Maybe theres a deal because Porsche wants to use the hybrid system from the RX and maybe Lexus asked for something in return??? Can anyone confirm this.
so I don't know if its true

If it were tuned by Porsche i think it would win in all car magazine tests, because nothing would be missing(handling,quietness,smoothness,fit and finish) oh man i cant wait.

Uhh, don't get your hopes up...I think some Kia or Hyundai models were advertised to come with a "Porsche-tuned" suspension...
Trust me, the new GS will not be winning many comparos, certainly not when it comes to handling.

The new GS suspension is supposed to be much improved over the current GS so we'll see how it does in handling comparos. BMW may be the only competitor to whip the GS in the Susp. category. BTW why did you jump ship if you love Lexus so much? If you couldnt afford a new Lex why not get a slightly used one under warranty? You surely could have gotten a wide variety of Lexi for the same cost as your scooby dooby shooby booby RU.

He has stated they have no intention to compete with BMW in terms of performance, so guess what, THEY WON'T.
Oh right, what WAS I thinking?? Lexus has such a STORIED history of beating the Germans when it comes to performance...

And I'd have to agree regarding the suspension of the upcoming GS.
You guys will still have to seriously modify this upcoming platform to out-maneuver the 5-series crowd.
