According to sources there will be little or no price change from the current GS. Unless you go for a new option like AWD.

Yes, with automobiles, you usually get more car for roughly the same price for a new model.

Well it's fall and the I was thinking what a great time of year to film a car ad. I'm wondering if Lexus will be doing any of that here in the US with the 2005 GS for next years release?

I cannot believe it, but this thread has me hyped as well. I am so happy with my GS, I can only imagine the next one will have the same features as the new LS 430 (trickling down).

Bluetooth for the cell phone.
Electronic key.
Swivel headlights.
Park Assist
Voice Nav
More wood trim (and more wood trim options)
Possibly LED lights
17" wheels standard with 18" as a factory option
Bigger Nav screen
Rear T.V ent. (from the RX/GX)????
6-speed auto for even quicker acceleration (I think Lexus may keep the 300hp rating and get a 5.5 sec 0-60 run).
Maybe even the light up door sills.


I do hope it keeps the quad lamps front and rear and yellow fogs. The GS 300 I am sure gets the 3.3 liter V-6 from the ES 330 etc. If it makes 230hp in the ES 330, 240lbs torque, I expect about 245hp, 250lbs torque in the GS 300. The GS 300 may become a high 6 second vehicle.

Thumbs up Hope it looks like this
Jim I hope you can tell me if it looks anything like in the pics, I sure hope so.

Any news on engine specs ? (4.3/4.5/5.0)

Anything you can come up with is highly appreciated, I have my check ready if it looks good

Mike
