Are there significant differences in Euro vs U.S. hp & drive modes for new GS 450h?
Reading and comparing the Lexus USA Newsroom ( http://pressroom.toyota.com/releases...motor+show.htm ) and Toyota Global Newsroom ( http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/feature/20110913.html ) press releases for the next-gen Lexus GS 450h, two important differences jumped out at me:
NORTH AMERICAN SPEC:
338 hp
5 Drive Modes: Normal, Eco, Sport S, Sport S+ and EV
EUROPEAN SPEC:
290 hp (213 kW)
3 Drive Modes: Eco, Sport S, Sport S+
So, what are we looking at here? Totally different tuning for each market? Europe using Eco Mode figures vs the U.S. using Sport S+ mode figures? An error in somebody's numbers?

These pressrom docs seem to be littered with TYPO's lately...
Just like the IS-F's, which show 10-Spoke Asymmetrical wheels from 2008-2012 in the USA..
(Looked back at all the pressroom PDF's )
