Do we have any interior measurements?

Thanks

No specs for the interior yet. It debuts in the US next week in NY. It should be sold this September.

I cannot even begin to fathom how incredible that car will be. Imagine it more luxurious and now with swoopy styling. And then a hybrid version. That car is going to be ridiculous.

New York auto show isn't for another 3 weeks actually

Also...the GS450h will debut at New York. I can't wait to hear the specs. They wouldn't make it slower than the GS430...I hope 0-60 is between 5-5.5 seconds. The RX400h electric engine produces almost 70 hp...so the GS should be more than that, making the total hp be well above 300. Also, I bet the base price of this car will be $60,000-$62,000. I remember when I didn't care about the GS, now I love it because it is the first care in the new design direction. Also, I just realized how off topic I got. Haha.

I heard that it will be out in August and I have also heard the end of the year.

GS450h Hybrid will not be available until 2006 as a 2007 model. The new IS should be out for sale officially by September 2005.

Is the GS450h going to combine a 3.5 V6 GR engine with an electric motor?
