I guess with the M37 coming out this means that Lexus will need to bump its hp o the 3.5 l V6 to at least 330 hp. They have already fallen behind in the small sports sedan segment when infiniti released the G37 sedan. The GS could use a touch more power

Isnt the next generation GS due out for 2010 or 2011 as well?

With the new E-Class, and the upcoming 5-Series and GS, the M-Series needs to be spectacular.

and I expect it to be, again, one-size-up over the others ...

I hope it does not look bloated from the back like the current one

Corrected for you, sir




In all honesty though, Lexus better look like recreating the success and soul of the 2GS for the new generation or they shouldn't bother in the first place. The new GS needs to be dramatic, sporty, dynamic, emotional, and a top performer. If it's anything less I will lose all hope.

I am sure the new M will be a great car...the 2nd gen was successful for the brand and a wonderful car as well. I am excited to see what they come up with.

i actually quite like the current M
upping one on new E series and new 5 series is a tall order

hopefully they can do it well and get lexus to one up as well

and yeah, Lexus is in desperate need of another GS success story

hopefully the new m is something exciting and put more choices on the table

"it's a really good looking car"

i think i'll believe them this time, considering they made the Essence.

it might even force Lexus to do a big midcycle overhaul on the GS like they did to the last gen LS.

Lexus need to knock the 4GS outta the park. Hasn't the 3GS already had it's mid-life refresh?

FinalBurst

Yes it has. The GS is possibly my favorite sedan, and I've always hated how the current generation has failed to steal some spotlight from its competitors. I have a 2GS which is amazing to this day, but damn if my heart does not skip a beat everytime I see a current GS fly by.

I'm hoping for great things out of the 4GS and 3IS. Please Lexus, do not let who ever designed the HS or RX anywhere near the upcoming 4GS. If the next generation ES truly moves off the Camry platform, then what will happen to the GS? If they share a platform, then it becomes even harder to justify the GS' existence. Maybe the next GS might become Lexus' CLS competitor.

As for the M, I have no doubt it'll look outstanding.

God's speed! Dang I can't wait for the 4th gen GS. Please Mr. Toyoda make this car what it needs to be.

I hope they don't screw it up like they did to the FX.

That has been my hope as well.

To differentiate the ES350 from the GS350, the next GS must be sportier, faster, maybe roomier, and maybe a little less expensive compared to the competition. And hopefully, the GS460 gets the power boost needed to make it 380hp, not 330hp...
