Please make the 4GS as spacious as the Toyota Crown(they share the same platform).....put a 7 speed DSG in it, give it a supercharged V6/inline 6 with 300+ hp,similar or better fuel efficiency as the 535/335/Audi supercharged 3L V6 and that would replace my 2004 GS300.
Been waiting impatiently for years for Lexus to bring out another car that stole my heart like the 2GS--with the 5 series/E class and A6 being so much more expensive in Singapore than the GS for comparable hp/performance, I am holding out for new 4GS....(3GS is just too small inside!)

Doesn't the 3GS (V8) have an 8spd tranny?
All I ask from the 4GS is:
1) to reduce the weight
2) Bring back up the build quality level
3) Let the GS460 have 380-400hp...why did you de-tune the engine this gen?
4) Better driving dynamic, and a true sports package. I know the G can compete withthe 5'er
5) GS-F please

Doesn't the 3GS already have an NA V6 that makes 303hp, and good fuel economy?

Main problem with the 3GS is its interior space. We have the Crown athlete/royal here in Singapore via grey market imports(based on the same platform as the 3GS and 2IS) and it's significantly more spacious than the 3GS despite having the same wheelbase--I would say it feels like my 2GS in terms of subjective spaciousness.
Another problem is that Lexus Singapore only brings in the GS300. So if I want a semi-affordable RWD Japanese executive sedan with 300hp and Lexus-like quality, I have to settle for the Crown Athlete 3.5L(same 2GR-FSE engine as GS350). I'd rather have the official warranty and after-sales service of the Lexus brand....Also all the wordings,GPS and factory radio in the Toyota Crown brought into Singapore are set irreversibly to Japan specs.
