The hp of 05 G35c 6MT goes up from 280 to 298 hp but peak torque reduces from 270 to 260.

This will not happen again! I am now planning to keep my GS until the 2010 GS900 comes out! LOL!!
Thanks for the feedback.
For those of you who are getting tired of your Lexus, do what I did! It will be like buying your Lexus all over again. Kidding!! Kidding!!

glad I found this post... I sold my GS4 a few months ago and now missing it to death though I was debating on a G35 coupe with a 6MT to for the kick but after much thoughts I was leaning towards another GS4 but may have to settle for a GS3 depending on which I find with a better deal. But after reading this thread I've got my mind set on another GS.
That's why I really like CL. More friendly crowd here.

I don't think the current CLK500 looks attractive except the front end.

I'm am very disapointed with the new CLK500. They don't have that big body sport/luxury look. IMO, they resemble a smaller MB, maybe a a C series.
