I think that everyone missed my question, what is the 3rd model they are talking about on the last page???There is the GS300, GS430, and another model. Look at the last page with the description.

Is it a real brochure w/specs or just a teaser? I am curious what the rear diff gear ratio is in the new GS430 since it now has the 6speed.

I received "The 2006 Lexus GS" brochure while at my Lexus dealership this past Tuesday. Although this an official Lexus brochure and it does have some specs on the GS 300, GS300 AWD and GS430, it is rather light in content. It contains several pictures which have all been previously posted on CL.

My salesman said that pricing has yet to be released. I was considering leaving a fully refundable deposit for their first allotment ( assuming I would have to pay MSRP ), but backed out when my salesman said he could not commit to selling one to me at MSRP. He further stated that there is discussion about initially market pricing the 2006 GS's at, of course, prices higher than MSRP. I smiled and told him that as much as I enjoy my current Lexus, I would never pay more than MSRP for ANY car.

Only the marketing folks consider the AWD a third model - most folks here would consider the AWD an option on the 300.
G35 is the same way. Sedan, coupe and x.
