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.

Has Lexus announced when the GS350 will be available?

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.

No word on a GS460.
 
Well, they're either going to release it at the same time, or kill off the GS V8 entirely. Theres no way the 350 and 430 will co-exist.

At the very least, it would give the AWD version some actual guts. Hopefully they'll keep the variable-ratio steering and all of the other VDIM "upgrades" away from the 350.

Well, they do co-exist in Japan.

The GS irrelevant? I don't know, I thought it was starting to come along a little stronger, and the GS350 should only help bolster its position.
 
HP alone doesn't suddenly transform the car, and aside from handling, my disappointment with the car has more to do with the interior and trunk room than anything else. Things that even 300 hp can't fix, unfortunately.
 
But, assuming gas mileage remains similar, which I expect it will, Lexus will have quite the efficient LPS there, even if it is a little short on the P.
 
My local dealer claims the GS350 will be available mid-August.

The V6 GS will go from slowest-in-class to fastest-in-class.
 
Just exactly what class is that again?
