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.

"Theres no way the 350 and 430 will co-exist."
 
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?

Ok. I just wanted to see what YOU were comparing it to (everyone is different, it seems). I won't get into the bench racing part of it until the mags start to compare them and real numbers are available.

"Do you know whether there will be an AWD version?"
 
No official confirmation, but I don't see why not, seeing as how there is a GS350 AWD on sale in Japan.

I look forward to seeing what BMW has to offer in two years. I hope a 535D will sell here.

Me too, and while I'm dreaming the A6 3.0TDI or even better an A6 with the 4.2TDI would be pretty spanky.
 
The test report of the 535d I saw on British TV was impressive to say the least.
 
Of course, Mercedes has some fine TD cars too -- hope these choices soon become OUR choices.
