Default Price of a fully loaded GS350 AWD is $51,911!

This is what the allocation is showing as price and this car has ML/Nav and I don't know what else? So I guess this is the new price maybe it's missing something the current $52,444 car has.

Didn't know where to post this. Has anyone driven a GS350AWD? How is the throttle response? Does it accelerate slight slower than the IS350? Or is it going to be slow like the ES? The ES engine is capable of making it fast, but it's slow throttle response really puts a damper on things.

Default Pricing and option groups vary by region....

Eastern, Southern, Western and Central regions decide independently what options to produce. Some of the Eastern production will have Mark Levinson with the Navigation and others will have Nav only. The $51,977 car is with Mark Lev and Nav in an AWD.

No one has driven it that I know of. I will post a review when I get my hands on the first one at the end of this month. There was an earlier post that was in error and probably drove the ES350. The GS350 motor has direct and port fuel injection and is likely to resemble the IS350 in response. Since it will be available in an AWD with high performance this will be a first for Lexus....

Default Avg Price w/ Tax

Hmmmm....$51,977 - that puts bottom line pricing at around $54,300 or more depending on what state you live and what city your residence resides in. Vehicle tags @ $950 to $1,025.

Patience is a virtue. I too am anxious to see, drive, and read about the GS350 when it arrives. However, I would not even attempt to purchase until the initial excitement cools down. However long it takes, at that point, I will decide to make the plunge. When the price is right and only then. Lexus has a huge markup in New car standards. I'm going to wait until it is as popular as the present GS300 is now. I am still pretty excited to see if it meets our expectations for acceleration and the new Nav!

Lexus does not markup new cars. Unlike most everyone else, they prohibit this type of sale. They also prohibit Lexus dealer sales, even for slow models. Everything is done with precision and thought.

Expect to pay close to MSRP for the new GS350 but not over unless you don't like cross shopping other dealers.

$51,977 for a 2007 GS350 AWD with Navi/ML is a very good price.

For comparison, a comparably equipped 2007 M35x with HID, Tech/Advanced Tech Packages is $51,450.

So the GS is only $500 more, but has more power and gets better mpg.

So there is a mere $1277 difference between the RWD and the AWD? I was quoted $51257 for a loaded GS350 RWD (this includes dest.).
