Acceleration
Has anyone timed their 0-60? Just curious how accurate the numbers are that Lexus represents. 5.7 for the 430 and 6.8 for the rwd 300. I ask because I find it hard to believe that the C&D test on the Avalon could come up with 6.0. Yes is has a few horses on the GS300 but the GS has a 6 speed which I thought would almost even things out. I haven't seen any magazine test the times of the GS300 yet.

Those are the most ridiculous numbers I've ever seen 
Those numbers are why I think there's something shady in all the comparisons with others in its class.
Maybe they drove 300 not a 430
