Default 2008 GS350 Engine

Just curious, I wasn't able to find it on google search. Anyone know if the ES350/IS350/GS350/Camry V6 share the same engine, just tune differently for performance?

Well, I would say "completely" is a bit overstatement. Probably "slightly" would me more accurate.

ES vs IS/GS 3.5, "completely" diff is appropriate if they share no common parts.

Yea, why buy an ES when you could get a Camry for less....

My buddy ask me why GS and not another Lexus line..

My response was

IS is a bit too small
ES is another Camry, might as well keep my 2007 Camry XLE V6
LS is way too pricey

So that leaves me GS :-)

2008 GS350 CPO/Used with 11k miles...34k (pre-tax/license)
it include all the options minus ML...

The engine block and displacement is the same, the way it's applied is very different.
