Thanks for the info, flip.
When the RX400h came out the adaptive cruise control wasn't available as an option due to "space constraint" according to Lexus. I wonder what makes it available now.
Also it looks like the GS still isn't getting the aux audio input many owners are dying for.
Too bad the GS350 isn't getting the active stabilizer, now that it's outpowering the V8 version. Lexus is still too conservative when it comes to making options available across the line IMO.

Cool the GS350 can come with 18's and the high friction brake pads. And the GS430 can be ordered with the rear active stabilizer. I wonder what verdigris mica looks like.

Verdigris is definitely darker than desert sage mica. It is a dark green which has a touch of blue.

There will however be a new GS430 Pace Car coming soon. You will see it in the very near future.

Why not? Just not enough money in the development budget with everything else new, or does the 430's larger engine just preclude the attachment of the AWD hardware?
Will the GS350 retain the current GS300's AWD as well?

Unless I missed something here, flip, I don't see AWD for the GS430.

GS350 will carry the 2GR-FSE from the IS350 with an AWD transaxle.
