without DI the GS460 engine is weak next to the E550, this is unacceptable IMO

Yeah, the link to the pdf file is no longer there when you search under GS460 at pressroom.toyota.com, they must be aware of the mistakes on it, it's not the final version anyway, but that still doesn't necessary mean the N.American GS460 will get 380hp, we'll just have to wait & see . . .

They were taken down rightfully so. Considering all the obvious mistakes, that was certainly not the final PR.
