It’s cool to see it in print.

Now how is this going to integrate into their current lineup? Will they have 3 engine options or will the GS300 be dropped?

I’m sorry if this has been asked before, but inquiring minds want to know.

Personally, I would LOVE to see this, ala BMW in with their 3 engine lineup but I doubt it will happen as there is no 3 GS lineup in Japan currently. Only 350 and 430.

99% sure, GS 350 replaces GS 300 in America

Cool, thanks guys. Now, how long will it be before we have the GS350 state side? Or is that the million dollar question?

Any specs on 0-60? Curious as to what the performance the GS350 is? The GS350 has been out a couple of month in Japan but no one seem to be posting any performance figures.

I agree with Henry and if it replaces the GS 300 it will should also replace the awd as designated by GS 350 awd.

The 4.3 liter V8 will most likely be replaced by a 4.6 liter around the same time as the release of the GS350. This engine will also be in the new LS sedan. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for at least 350hp.
