C&D Quick Test: GS460
Loves it for all the usual Lexus qualities.
0-60mph - 5.5 sec
1/4mile - 13.9mph @ 103 mph
70-0 - 170ft
Barely faster than the GS450h (identical to 60, .2 sec faster in 1/4 mile)
Beautifully built interior and a deal compared to the German competition.

OK, cool. Glad they found out what we already knew. We could have told them and saved them money. I'm glad a GS 460 review of any kind FINALLY showed up somewhere. I was beginning to think they were ignoring us.

gotta compare the results from the same source as everyone's testing methods and track conditions always vary.
Edmunds has 5.4 for the GS460 as well. Again, slightly faster with added 255lbs isn't THAT bad....

98-00 gs400 and 01-05 gs430 are essentially the same car. both engines have the same hp and the 430 has marginally more tq. both cars would post pretty much the same time (can't remember exactly but the gs430 was a bit heavier i think)
06-07 gs430 had the same engine as well, but with 6 speed so it's a tad faster. key board, tad.
the gs460 with 8 speed should be another tad faster as well, but of course with the big weight increase that doesn't help. and of course, lexus choose to "take away" 40hp off the engine, that's another bad decision.
the gs460 isn't selling well at all when i talk to my salesperson. i wonder if the car is going at invoice price as well now.
if they come up with the 380hp gs460, now that's going to be something (since the car is quite a bit lighter than ls460 i think)
