sort of of topic...
anyone know what will become of this new 3.0L V6 that's in the gs 300? it was only used for 1 model year. i doubt they spend so much into developing the engine and use it for only one year. i know this is a gr engine but this specific engine isn't in any other toyotas in the u.s. that i know of.
i wonder if it would be possible to put the active sway bar in the '06 300/ '07 350???

Not really. The IS300 and also the GS300 sold in China and Brunei uses the non-direct-injection version, the 3GR-FE, while the GS300 sold here uses the direct-injection version, the 3GR-FSE. From what I gathered, the only reason Lexus chose to use such engines there is because of the subpar/inconsistent quality of fuel sold in those countries.

Yeah that's absurd. How can it better the IS350's mileage given that about the only mechanical difference between the them is the wheelbase and weight? Can't believe how 3hp/3tq less can compensate for the weight gain so much.
