This looks very sporty, I like it. If they are re-designing the taillights for 08 it may look even better than this pic.

I just realized you posted to my questions, just wanted to say thanks for the reply. I know I'm late.

Just wondering when will Lexus release any kind of price info for the 08 GS350/460?

Juen? July? August?

And around what month will the 08 models start to show up at the dealer? September? October?

Thanks

I wonder what updated exterior styling would mean? Re-design bumper/headlights/rear? I'm thinking of buying the GS350 in couple weeks

I can't believe no one mentioned the cassette player. C'mon....does any 2008 model automobile really need a cassette player? For 08 they should toss it and install an MP3 and an Aux input. And I agree, the ML audio needs attention. Flabby bass, bright, tinny mid and highs. Nothing like ML home gear.

I agree on the Levinson sound. Big dollars for not so great sound anymore. When I had it on my 1994 GS300 it was phenomenal. Now it just seems liek a name.
