Default re: GS350 release date

I read on one of the websites that the GS350 is to be released as a 2008 model. I hope this is totally incorrect. I understand that no one is sure of the release date but I sure hope they are not waiting that long for a very needed model in the Lexus lineup.

Thumbs up GS series -- Tahara Plant -- World-Class Facility

http://www.detnews.com/2004/specialr.../a15-70498.htm

Check out this link!

For anyone still not convinced that the GS (and the LS) rolls off the finest manufacturing assembly plant in the world, please read this article.

Sorry, but I read so many different websites every day I do not recall. It was an early review of the GS300 and spoke about future models. Sorry I can't be more specific. Anyway, I hope it is not accurate. I still have a chance to buy the GS430 for close to the same cost as the new GS350 but really do not want the 8 or the extra unecessary technology.

I saw a black 2007 GS450H the other day here in AZ (scottsdale to be more specific)

it looked really nice and the stock wheels look way better than even the GS430s
