Exactly! There definitely is some misinformation going around regarding what the true U.S. version specs. will be.

i'm not sure if this was covered in the previous 27 pages, but i have a question -

does anyone know if the new 08 460 will have the same HD based nav, XM traffic, and HDD music that the LS has (and the LX will get for 08)??

for that matter, when is all this stuff migrating over to the other model lineups?

we are in the midst of deciding between 450h and 460 but i'm wondering if the new 460 is going to get all kinds of new electronic goodies since it's "new".

that'd be kind of silly imho especially they badge this as a sport sedan.

the 2gs430 had 300hp and the ls430 had 290, that made more sense

That would definitely sway me for a GS460, no use in have all that power and can't lay down some black strips to impress the masses. Please Please Lexus have a TC OFF SWITCH

Both the LS460 and '07 IS350 have this switch. I don't see why the GS460 will not.

I dont see a problem with the GS having342 thats still a nice jump above the current 430. And it allows room for improvement.
