Given the sales numbers of the GS430 currently in the US compared to the GS300, I can only, imagine that the GS350 wont help. Those that want the GS430 for the V8 will no doubt buy it as they already have, but my bet the GS350 will take a few buyers away and I see the GS430 sales numbers getting smaller until the GS460 is released.

I would still buy the GS430 and not the 350 remembr the engine is not the only difference the wheels are larger and there are a few features on the 430 the 350 doesnt have. Also it didnt mention wether or not there would be VDIM on the 350 so that another advantage. Plus it drives easier since it has more low end power. And dont forget AVS.

Did the GS350 get the larger brakes? I always felt is should at least match the brakes on the IS350 since power wise it is the same and weight is a little higher.

I'm a bit rusty on the specs, I did look over http://lexus.com/models/gs/300rwd_specifications.html and what exactly are the additional features?
