Got pricing information?
Toyota Pressroom says the new LS460 will be here in October.

I cannot see the GS460 that far behind. The GS430 is effectively a discontinued product given it has no performance advantage over the GS350 but requires $5K premium. Now the GS460 with 390 hp (just my guess) ... that's another story.

The ML on the 3 GS is the new ML already... the one in the IS is the same essential system as the GS but with a smaller sub and lower wattage amp. They needed to upgrade the nav but there isn't a further upgrade for ML beyond what's already there. Huzzah.

People who want RWD and the added torque. Or like the guy I helped yesterday, self-concious high dollar real-estate agents who can't be seen in the "base-model" of any vehicle.
GS won't go 460 until '08. '07 is still GS430.

IMO, if the 07 430 has the active stabalizer and VSC options in addition to the extra torque, it will still be preferable to the 350 on the high end. It may not be worth the extra $$ to many, but it will be to some.
