Why no 4th Gen GS460
I totally wonder the same. And why did they continue offering the 4.6 in the 4th Gen. I know the quick answer is because the GSF was planned and they didn’t want to take away from that but to have a mid level engine choice would have been awesome for am F-Sport model and keep all the base models with the 3.5

I've never posted about it before but I've owned this GS460 in Maine since I ordered it from the factory back in 2010. I just had it repainted and refurbished.
May 2024 total repaint with new bumpers, headlights, and windshield all in the original "deep sea blue mica".
Not the window sticker but an inquiry report done when the car was literally "on the boat" from Japan. Watched the ship go through the Panama Canal on the canal webcam.

About 129,000 miles. It was my wife's car for the first ten years of it's life, then I got a 2012 LS460 and my wife decided she liked that one better and I rather prefer the slightly smaller GS. It replaced a 1998 GS400 also owned since new that had over 200,000 miles on it. The Toyota OEM quality of the interior materials (plastic and leather) was notably better in the 1998 model than in the 2010. The 1998 also had steering wheel paddle levers to shift whereas on the 2010 you have to jog the shift stick. I still plan to keep the 2010 forever though. When you are old and set in your ways like me you just can't beat a smooth naturally aspirated V8 driving just the rear wheels.
