Fast forward to 2006, GS350's 2GR-FSE (3.5 V6) has more torque and hp than the 4.3 V8 in GS430, that is exciting. Acura RL has a V6 3.5 engine already pump out 290hp with under new SAE rating, and we are excited about a 275hp engine borrowed from Camry V6? Even IS has the keyless ignition with push button, the "new" RX350 does not have it according to another post by koolaidman. I am not as hyped about RX350 as I was last year, this looks more like a 2 year filler model until the next generation RX comes along.

GS350's torque is 277 lb-ft (I'm guessing it'll be rated the same as the IS350.) Although I have to mention that we're comparing new SAE to old SAE numbers here. Even if we converted the 3UZ-FE's number to new SAE I'm sure it'll still be producing more torque. A stock IS350 will dyno about 256 rwhp & 234 rwtq. A stock GS430 will dyno @ 235 RWHP and 252 RWTorque.

I drove and am buying the RX350
The new EX350 definitely has more power than the 330. Mainly, it comes with a new stereo that has a SAT button on it and is pre-wired for SAT radio. The navigation unit is supposed to be 5th generation. My car arrives on March 11, so I haven't seen the new navigation system yet. I'll let you know if it is a big improvement after my new RX arrives. The hardest part is decidiing which color to go with. I'm leaning toward the white or breakwater blue. I need to decide by tomorrow. Doesn't matter in the long run, I know.
