why do i have a feeling that the GS350's won't come out until the release of the GS460?? i mean it would only make sense to release them at the same time. they can't release the 350's that have more hp than the current 430's and leave the 430's on the market. no one would even think about buying a 430 then.

If you're talking about info on GS350 specs., they're on lexus.jp.

Possibly a sub 5 second car.
Glad to see them put some big ***** back in the GS.

they have to have it faster than the 450h to make buyers want to get the car. Although I wonder how the acceleration speeds from 60-80 will be since I heard that the 450h goes from those speeds really quickly compared to non-hybrid cars...

well don't underestimate the v8 neither, on the 400/430, the pull from 60-120 is insane

re: CVT Transmission
I hope the GS350 will have the same transmission it currently has. I would not even consider it if it went the way of a CVT.
