GS450h will have VVTi and dual injection according to the article. I wouldnt expect HSD to be much different, maybe only slightly more improved than RX400h (more batteries, higher battery output, etc).
But for anyone that has driven an RX400h, imagine it 300lbs lighter, with 80hp more and better aerodynamics.... that should be nice!

Awesome article! That BMW V10 in particular is just amazing. Anyone else see those gorgeous stainless headers? ![EEK!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/eek1.gif)
While Ford is still playing catch-up in many ways, I still think they've got a better chance than GM of staving off bankruptcy (besides their slightly better financial situation) because they seem to be working REALLY hard in the product area where it really counts. Moving to the 6 speed auto all over, this new engine, better body shapes, trying to rejuvenate Mercury and Lincoln, MAJOR strides in making their vehicles QUIETER and with better interiors.
