the 3.5 in the 450h is detuned a bit, so it doesn't work as hard, that's why it sounds different and the car is smoother

Will a GS450h beat an IS350?
my guess is without a doubt faster.
no time spent shifting and more horse equals faster 1/4's
take this for instance...my 550i, has 380hp, and my gs450h is .01 seconds faster 0-60mph.

Make sure the car u get has the trun space you want. When I was buying my GS350, I did notice with the batteries the trunk was cut in half. Not good if you're fitting in a big baby stoller.

Is this really a difficult question?! The 450h obviously. If you want trunk space buy the GX or LX.
