Question GS - nxt generation?

Anybody know when will the next generation GS430 be out? If so, what performance specs may we expect to see?

Was in the dealership yesterday and he told me that it was going to be released as a 2004 model. Now that means that it could be coming out any time in the later half of 2003. Or who the hell knows when....

Will,

Are you positive about the increment of the power 'cause I'm thinking about doing forced induction to my GS.

RA,

i derived the new GS hp based on the next e-class, current Q45 engine, and most importantly, the next 540/545 from bmw

I just hope Lexus/Toyota doesn't follow that same lame excuse they used for not upping the HP in the new 2002 ES300..."Our customers don't need it"...what a load of *****!

haha yah

but that's partly true tho.

I think that most ES owners doesn't look into PERFORMANCE if they wanted an ES. It'll be nice if it's got more HP but too bad.

If they use that excuse for IS or GS then that would be LAMEEEEEEEE
