Interesting that the GS300 RWD and AWD times supposedly differ by only 0.1 seconds. I find that hard to believe. Where are these numbers coming from, Chu?

The MCV30 aka 2002 ES300 came out in Fall of 2001. The MCV31 ES330 came to us in Sept 2003 as a 2004 model which is the 3rd production year of the current ES.

We should boycott the purchases of the 2006 gs(s) until 2007 to fight against this type of marketing and sales plots against GS diehards.

I read all of this talk of 1/4 miles times and think - 90%+ of GS owners don't even know that is or care.
What they do know is lease rates and what others think of the L on the front grill.

Lexus USA will try to squeeze out all the "must have/can't wait dollars" out of buyers with the 2006 models, then they have to release the higher performance models in 2007 to compete with BMW and MB.
