restarting the feed.... the new tech is finally up to date with the competitors... very interesting stuff

 

the technology they showed was ridiculous, but im not really feelin the exterior look.

 

is it going to be the GS F-Sport at Sema ? or is is it going to be the actual GS-F ? I thought the GS-F is not coming until 2013

 

He said F-sport version, not GS-F

 

it is F-Sport that mags tested already... with real wheel steer, etc, etc.

 

1. GS350 - new
2. GS450h - new
3. ES350 - new
4. ES300h - new
5. RX - mid-cycle refresh
6. GX - mid-cycle refresh
7. HS - mid-cycle refresh
8. ????
9. ????

 

my thoughts as well...

 

its funny how they said they improved the engine..........with 3 extra horses lol, but seriously the interior looks 2nd to none compared to the competitors.

 

So, the F-Sport will probably have the same V6 producing 306hp.....

 

I can barely hear what Akio is saying

 

base engine with 306hp and DI/port injection is more than enough though, and it is amazing engine... apparently transmission has been improved with cues taken from IS-F

 

I think GS-F/IS-F might be considered it's own vehicle in that 9 vehicle count, although I don't think either will be out in 2012.

The car itself doesn't look too bad; nothing game-changing though. I'm sure it'll grow on me when I see it around a lot. As people have said, I noticed the stance the most. I'm impressed! Would love to feel how that rides though. Then again, it's a GS, and it'll probably be quite the ride.

 

18.7 cu ft of trunk just flashed on the screen...

 

the volume is soooo low of the refeed.

 

I still wish they went with the quad lights on the front, like the new E class. but I guess they phased it out.
The features seem to be pretty decent. I wish they gave some info about a V8 version. The numbers didn't blow me away.

Lexus needs to stop being so damn conservative. Some people want some of the grunt and aggressiveness that BMW or Benz provides. Over all I'm disappointed with the car even though most of us could pretty much tell what it was going to look like.


I'm not ruling out that it could grow on me more though.
