Gs 350/450/460
Hey guys I need your help. I know this was probably brought up before but i would really like your input. I have a 00 gs400 that i would like to upgrade to the third gen. The problem is I don't know which one i would like to get. I am used to the power of the v8 but the v6's seem to be pretty fast as well. I would like to know what is your opinion of all of these models (pros/cons) and which one would be the better pick. 350/450/460.
thank you advance

i've test drove the 350, and i find it slow compared to the 450h. with the hybrid system, your TQ is almost instant.

Yes, instant torque of the electric motor
I would go for the GS450h personally because it's the only version of the 3GS that has something special and unique compared to other cars in the same class.

Ha, thats what Im thinking. I tested drive a 460 before, which one you like more?460 450? The transmission really push me away, otherwise I'll certainly get the 450 due to the fuel consumption.

imho (not trying to offend anyone) the gs460 is a disappointment and i will not get that car. 340hp is nothing given this engine, when we know it's pushing 380 in the ls460. the 8 speed is ok, i drove my ls460l just fine
the 450h (especially with apsss) is really something else, in the power mode it's a totally different animal. the gas mileage is a big big plus. on the other hand the cvt is somewhat funny. not that it's bad, it's smooth (coz' no shifting) but it just sounds funny. probably just need some getting used to
overall, i'd pick 450h
