Acura and Infiniti have 3.5L if the GS had 3.5L it'd clean up.
This is a near 4000 lb car. The Accord V6 has 3.0L 240hp (you can get for near $20K). I don't care if it's not the most powerful V6 (like the RL) but IMO at least be competitive with the 280hp Infiniti M35.
Especially if they have a 3.5 on the shelf. I think the IS and the Avalon are getting 3.5L.

That is how the same290hp LS 430 dropped near 1/2 a second from 0-60.

FYI, the specs and times that were just shared w/us are not official. Just estimates. Wait for the official numbers from Lexus or magazine tests.
