of the hood. I overheard someone complain at the dealer that they don't like
the low hood. I concur

knows, maybe they will even put in a decent grill on this thing.
It's hard for me to get excited about the GS460 (or just about any car) when there
is an LS460 that is an absolute @$$ kicker around the corner.

straight on. I wouldn't want a hump in the hood either. That would be MUCH
worse.

i am not sure about a higher hood for the gs too, that might look funny
anyway, from the first post, it seems like the gs460 will be here spring 07. actually i think time wise it's good, coz' the ls460 is coming out in sept, so that makes the engine setup exclusive on the ls for 1/2 yr before moving it over to the gs as well.
but then again, i don't know, maybe lexus indeed thought about having the gs460 and ls460 coming out together, similar to the ls430 and gs430 launch back in 01

I am really happy to hear the new GS 460 is finally going to come out soon
. Looking forward to when they actually hit the showroom floors hopefully sometime late next year. I will definately be placing my order then for a silver one

When the GS350 AWD hits the showroom this fall, will it be possible to get a good deal or will the good ole laws of supply and demand give the dealers no incentive to deal and will the buyer who really wants one be faced with having to pay sticker, or close to it?

Also, this is for anyone who currently owns a GS300 or GS430. What do you think of the interior cabin space? MotorTrend calls the cabin "tight" and someone on a prior thread referred to the GS interior as tight and/or cramped. Do any current owners feel that way? I have a 2003 RX300 and love it. If I trade up to a GS in the fall, I know I won't be happy if I feel cramped. How do current owners feel about head/leg/hip room?

I thinkit depends on the dealershipand location. Many smaller dealers have limited allocations and need to make as much as possible on each one. Volume dealers need to discount to move the inventory. If you want a discount, find a volume dealer.
