lol... thats pretty funny. Lexus does not have to compete with i8, but BMW does have to compete with LC and various different MB coupes that they never had answer to. Maybe one day, they currently preffer to spend money on new FWD platforms and 3cyl engines.

GS350 base $50,000
GS450h base $63,080
$13,080 difference
Possibility
GS500h base $65,000***
If the new powertrain is 450+hp, hybrid awd, and has a more powerful EV mode, I can see them being built at around $80,000 and being far more enticing than the special order only GS450h.
Let's see what they can do. It's exciting to be on the cusp of a new generation of Lexus powertrains again

It is better for them to work on same GS450h and make it cheaper.
As to the US, simply GS500. or twin turbo V6.
Gas is becoming so cheap people dont care about 22 vs 28 MPG difference.

nobody is going to buy that... in US, people wont pay for the difference and in Europe it is too much.

As to the LC500h vs LC500 price tag, I really hope the 'hybrid premium' is not out of control or it'll be another

But hey, lets hope. GS450h has two stage transmission thats really expensive to produce. Simpler system like in RX450h could do it good in countries it actually sells at.
