Most likely the 2004 model year, when the new E and the new 5 have both been revealed.

Are you chinese?

85-95% in 2004, after the e-benz and the 5 series. if yoru family likes the current GS design, this would be a great time becasue most dealers are making good ddeals.

haha because when you say "changing shape" in Chinese it means "redesigning" for cars

My bud at lexus of orlando says fall 2003 as a 2004 model. Lexus is toying with only slight body modifications but they are looking at a tuner version to compete with the M5. He said that it may also come with a manaul gear box, probably form the IS.

He also said HP will be up around 350 for the noraml GS430, and the tuner version could be around 375-380.
