Default when to expcet 2005 Lexus GS

Does anyone know when these babies are going to hit the show room? I am planning on buying a used GS430, but I want to wait till the new ones hit. So I can pick and choose on good quality used GSs on the market. I feel around that time a lot of people, and older people too, who have taken care of their Lexus will be selling them. I would have a wide variety to choose from.

I think they will be on the market in January 2005, if I remember correctly...

The 2005 GS's are already at our dealership..if you are thinking of the all new body style 2006 GS's, those are coming this March.

Are there any differences for the '05s from the '04s? Any links or any other info? Thanks.

Wow I can't believe that my car is already a "3 year old" car, it feels like I just bought the thing yesterday. I am still very much in love with my car, YES it is my baby =) I doubt any other car will give me as much satisfaction as this car gave me. No matter what car I drive I always love driving my car much more. Ok sorry I got all touchy feely in this thread but just thought i'd get those comments out, haha

Yeah, I've got an '02 GS also and didn't realize it is now 3 years old (at least model year wise).

The next gen GS really sounds great on paper, esp. w/ all wheel drive and to a lesser degree adaptive headlights, keyless ignition, and backup camera. Not sure if I like the styling though, the rear 1/4 kind of looks similar to the G35 sedan. Also, I guess there won't be much of a performance gain since its the same motor w/ same hp/torque ratings. I would've thought Lexus might have bumped up the engine size like Mercedes did w/ the E430 to E500, and BMW did w/ the 540i to 545i.

I'm also wondering about the difference between the 2004 and the 2005 in the showroom now. There appears to be fewer color options for one....anything else?
