Waiting for an eight-speed 2014 GS 350 AWD?
According to this Car and Driver article IS AWD models will continue to be equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. I'd assume the same will be true for the GS.

Same here... I was reading Motor Trend the other day and the latest Vanquish is still equipped with 6 Speed. Not sure why some press on this feature... If we're talking about long trip comfort, the GS is just fine IMO... If we're talking about gas saving....

The 8 speed would probably be on the F sport model...
The 8 speed should increase 0-60 by about 2/10's which would be about the same as a 20hp increase plus you get an increase in mpg's.
6 speeds will eventually all sucumb to more cogs in time due to CAFE>

I've driven the Audi A6 before I finalized my decision. But with an automatic, the more speeds you have, the more gear hunting going on. All that shifting kind of turned me off to the A6.
Sure, you'd get better gas mileage with more gears though, but i'd rather shift manually at that point.
To each his own.

^Love that look on the GS, if we buy the 13 and the 14 looks similar to this with the 8 spd and lsa gauge I'll be pissed. Now that I've read about the knocking noise that they cant figure out (yet) we may just wait.

the lexus GS looks are not going to change, even at it's current state, a lot of remarks are that it looks TOO agressive.
you have to remember the IS market and GS market are completely different, makes more sense to go agressive with the younger IS market and conservative(comparison speaking) with the older GS market.

I have a feeling that the GS will get a similar grille and bumper as IS and LS.
