This is the one piece of news that I don't like. Lexus dropping the v-8 is like how Acura lost the battle a long time ago because they never made a v-8 for their larger luxury sedan. It was never going to be able to complete with Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes so with Lexus going this route, it's going to lose some customers. Personally, I don't like the hybrid because of the cvt transmission.

I am hoping they will have a legitimate(ie. at least 500 hp minimum) GS-F to compete, then I will forget about the regular V8.
3GS460 with only 340 hp really is a wasted effort and they sell so little of them ......

How are these better numbers than a 13 yr old GS400...

The 306hp is not the big issue, the problem is normally aspirated engines lack torque.
The Audi A6 3.0T can do 0-60 in 5.2 seconds thanks to the the supercharger. In some motor magazine tests it has been under 5 seconds. That's quite a bit better than the GS350 despite a similar hp rating.

another thing to look at is the the IS debut next year, whether it will get a new engine?

well to be fair, the 306hp engine is plenty for most people who are going to buy this car. no doubt about that. so even though the engine is 5 yrs old i am probably ok. but there are just the few out there who are hunger for more. i guess we will have to see how the hybrid is, which i think lexus is trying to use to replace v8.
