You guys are too much...one salesman has sent everyone in this thread for a loop.

Just wait, the car is almost here and the speculation will end.

P.S., the salesman is WRONG.

We've seen Lexus tried to win horsepower war against the competition in the past (with the 300hp GS430, 306 IS350). I can't see a reason to throttle the 380hp-capable V8.

My latest source says it will have 587 hp from a hybrid V-9 engine and with AWD but only if u press a button and a new 16 speed auto with a manual as well for those that want to shift themselves at the same time.

Of course, he was very drunk! lol

I heard it was a Q-11 turbo/supercharged/hybrid/diesel engine that runs on hot air from press releases.

Look for it the last week of August-the first couple weeks of September, no later. Infiniti has just released their official pics/specs on the revised M35/45.

yup very true, gs400-gs430 the same year ls430 was introduced

though the difference this time is that the 460 is supposed to have much better performance than the the 430, since it should be above the 450h. unlike the gs400 to 430, it was almost no change

Quiet or not, it would be nice to know more details about what's going to change besides the engine.
