Impressive for a street car.I think the question is, how is Lexus gonna market the new GS in Japan? The Japanese models due in August are GS350 and GS430. If the 350 will be making 50 more horsepower than the 430, people there are gonna have quite a tough decision to make.
hey you have a excellent point man. the gs350 will have over 300hp.... how are they going to market the gs430....? umm.... and the gs430 will cost a lot more than the gs350 as ewll
