I wish they would come with a picture too...

I've been driven my GS since 98, and I too am now ready for some new wheels...

I might not be able to wait till the end of 04... My car is now paid for and these funds are starting to cry H2...

I think Lexus has dropped the ball with the new GS...

A picture hurts no one, and they need to come with it if they expect to keep me in a Lexus...

The only way I probably won't soon upgrade to a Hummer or Benz is if I can get a glimpse of the new GS and see for myself that it is going to worth the wait....

I've got 23,000 more miles to go before I hit 100,000 miles in my ride...The only way I go over is if the GS picture has been released...

It would be an extra bonus to someone like me for holding out if the new GS came in a drop top option...But thats just my 2 cents

Competition is very fierce these days. I've been dying for pictures of the new GS, STS and Vette.. These companies are keeping these designs more quiet than ever. There's just too much copying that goes on otherwise..

Default Check out the new S4...

http://audi.805net.com/CD_S4/

The new S4 has a 4.2 liter V8 generating 340hp at 7000rpm, has AWD, reaches quarter-mile in 13.6 seconds. Although the GS is a bigger car, people will compare them if the new GS has AWD. Can Lexus stays on top on the performance?

I thought Lexus had already decided to move more towards comfort than performance? If that's the case, I wouldn't expect anything more than what we've got now...

I'm with everyone who wants to see some pics. I was on the GS trip a few months back and ready to get an '04 430 or most likely wait for the next gen. I really wanted to stay with Lex, but what's it gonna look like, what specs, nothing but guesses and rumors. It's a lot easier to be excited about something when you can see it and read facts, even if they're prototypes or concepts. Usually it's only gonna be real enthusiasts that see the early release info anyway, so it won't make the general public change their minds if they're thinking about buying a current year.
Since then, the FX45 hooked me, and as of now, I'm ready to buy one in the fall.
