I was really surprised not to be able to find much of GS350 on-line reviews. I understand its a second year replacement of GS300, and I did find a number of GS300 review form a few years back. A lot of those are negative and compare GS to 5-series New 3.5L engine is such a significant addition. Yes, the body style and other bells'n'whistles are still the same, but engine and performance alone deserves an honorary mentioning, don't you think? Also, I was hoping to find a real 0-60 test results, not just on-the-paper provided by Lexus. The reason for that cause I remember ES350 was advertised as 0-60 in 6.7sec, while some magazine did testing to find it 6.2 sec.

Anybody has any links to detailed reviews or performance testing of GS350? I just personally enjoy reading those, don't need it to make up my mind since my silver bullet is just outside the window

I've noticed the same. I think that none of the industry reviewers have gotten around to test driving (or wanting to) the GS350. All I know is that having driven both, the GS350 is a different car with the same sheetmetal. We could always e-mail or write the publications and see what the holdup is!

Why not start off with Lexus' published #'s ?
0-60: 5.7 1/4: 14.2

We all know that Lexus is conservative, so shave a couple of 1/10s off these for real world figures . . .

I agree, Lexus is conservative in their #'s. On the ES350, they say 6.8 seconds for 0-60. Car & Driver got 6.2, and Consumer Guide got 6.4. If that holds true, you could be looking at the low 5's for the GS 350.

Because of the electronic shifting, your real-life experience will be that the 0-30 part takes about five seconds, then 30-60 happens in the other 0.7.

Amen to that, Randal I thought it was just a product of my imagination, but I felt exactly the same where after 30mph during acceleration it kicks in like a rocket!!! I guess it makes no difference if its RWD or AWD?
