I visited my local Lexus dealership today and got some factory specs on the GS. They are expecting to get 8 GS300, 2 GS300 AWD and 2 GS430 in early Feb. (before you guys in the mainland).
They don't have many information on the specs but I was able to get the following from them.

0-60: 5.7s
0-400 Meter (1/4 mile): 14.2s
Top speed: 149mph

Top speed: 143mph

The GS350 and GS450h is for model year 2007 sold in 2006. They are not for 2006 model year.
Remember Lexus did the same when the current ES style came out it was ES300. After a year later the same body type with a larger engine was introduced as ES330.
I am holding off my purchase until the GS450h or the GS460 next year.

Great info. Thanks for the detailed model info. The GS300 AWD specs seem to be better than the Acura RL. Looks like the Lexus 6 speed transmission does a good job with the 245HP engine.
Does Lexus have any plans to make the 2007 GS450h with AWD ?

The MCV30 aka 2002 ES300 came out in Fall of 2001. The MCV31 ES330 came to us in Sept 2003 as a 2004 model which is the 3rd production year of the current ES.

Like I said before, the other info you are seeing is 3rd party speculation that doesn't pertain to Lexus USA.

regarding the price, i think once the rx400h come out we will know. the price difference between the rx400h and the rx330 is a good indication of how much the gs450h will be. maybe more if it has awd as well

Interesting that the GS300 RWD and AWD times supposedly differ by only 0.1 seconds. I find that hard to believe. Where are these numbers coming from, Chu?

I am sure that once the auto magazine get their hands on the GS430, M45 and BMW 545 there will certainly be a special issue comparing these models. At which time we will get a better idea how it really performs.
