Default Anything on GS 460

Have anybody heard anything on the GS 460. I've been looking all day. Cause one of my boys said that he has heard that Infiniti M45 will be the M48 or M50 with over 400 hp. I have looked everywhere heard different stories one guy told me at the Lexus dealer that Lexus wasn't going to use a V8 instead use the Hybrid route.
If anybody knows let me know getting tired of fussing with the Infiniti boys.

I just want to hear something about the GS 460 spy pictures, mule testing, or something cause what a lot of the Infiniti boys are saying that the engine would not fit for some reason.

nope, no mule, no spy shots, no nothing. have we even seen the the next gen M spy shots? no, nothing yet either. The 1ur does have more components than the 3uz, but it's not that much harder to fit the 1ur in. Keep in mind that the gs is a huge car for its class.

the real question is, why are you getting into a discussion with infiniti fanboys anyway?

We all saw spy shots, spy vids of the BMW 1 series a few months back, and now those cars are already on the car carriers heading to showrooms to be driven in the hot summer sun. The GS460, IS-F is still watercooler talk

Those fanboys are couple of boys that I hang 2 of them has the M and one has the G coupe. We always get into discussions about cars, sports, and women. They always talking about how the M is whupping the GS in every comparo test.

I also heard that the dealership aren't taking any orders for the GS 460 is it going to be a late 08 or 09 model?

Let me see......



I predict 2009..


Lexus corporate just needs to un-button those ties and get loose. Take a page from the BMW playbook. Roll these cars out for the masses now! The fan base is at critical panic stage.

They aren't taking orders for the GS 460 because it's not confirmed yet. It sure seems logical to upgrade the 4.3 to the new 4.6L, but so far nothing...and Lexus is extremely secretive.

Why so secretive about the GS 460
Everybody new about the LS 600h way before it's launch date I mean that's the top of the line why so secretive about the GS unless it's going to be a major change or something let the masses know something 8-speed transmission, self parking, 380hp or 400hp.
