I have been reading nothing but raves about the upgraded optional Bose 11 speaker, 7 channel digital amp. system in the Porsche Cayman S.
I don't know how one can hear it effectively given the loudness of the engine.
Seems like a complete disconnect between Bose home and car audio.

My 13 speaker Bose system is "good to very good" -- it is NOT as good as the Infiniti M's w/Technology Package, but I cannot imagine what would posses me to pony up $8K for Audi's B&O system after hearing the M's.
 
Now, an upgrade, a factory upgrade to the one I have -- perhaps for $995, would possibly have merit.
 
I listen to Sirius a lot, but I also listen to a lot of Books on CD -- the extra fidelity while nice, has little financial value with my listening habits.
 
I applaud the constant move upscale, but the M's Bose system and the system that was, in 2005 at least, in the Acura (w/DVD audio) fantastic.

Unsurprisingly, Bose's previous efforts to compete directly with traditional speaker companies such as the 701 and 801 have all been killed off, probably because they were awful. For whatever reason though, the 901s are still made. Considering the age of their design, the production cost is probably almost nil, so that could explain it.

It's confirmed.
 
The 2007 GS350 will have 303 hp and 274 torque.
 
The V6 GS will go from slowest-in-class to fastest-in-class. I'd expect a mag to get 5.6s or so.
 
No word on a GS460.

Do you know whether there will be an AWD version?

Will this save the GS from its current irrelevance?
 
Unlikely.

Perhaps the GS 450h should be added to this forum for discussion since Lexus is obviously making a move on the P end of the spectrum, and with their usual subsidy of "green" vehicles.

What move do you think they are making?
 
I HOPE there is a move to increase the P, but horsepower alone is not going to make it so.
