Off the top of my head:
1. New engine - '06 GS300 vs '07 GS350
2. Gen 5 navigation - much nicer display on the Gen 5 vs the Gen 4 on the '06GS.

Do a search as there have been numerous threads on the GS300 vs GS350. If you can wait, and money isn't an issue, the GS350 has many advantages.

hear is the 411 on the GS, lexus will be releasing a new set of GS models next spring. they will carry the same body styling as the current 2006 models. They will get a name change. Lexus will call them the Lexus GS350 and Lexus GS460. The 350 will offer lexuses new 3.5 liter V6 from the IS it will have 306 hp 277 pound of torque. The GS 460 will offer the LS 4.6 liter V8 which will have 380 hp and a lot of torque. they will have redesigned rims and navigation systems and communicative key fobs and I also heard they will have the new automatic parking assistance option for about a grand. The price tag will also be upped about 1,500 dollars for each model. there would than be the GS350, GS350awd, GS460 and GS450h. these cars will be true champions to compete with the M35&M45 the E350&E550 and the 530i&550i cars. I believe the Lexus GS for the first time will better tha the E class and 5series. hould on to your money guys the current GS a great and all but not very fast compared to the fully redesigned competitors. [U]Expect the 350 to time 60mph in 5.9 seconds and the 460 to do around 60 in 5.1 seconds. [/U]

U know it's funny I am thinking its going to be the spring also. The reason I am saying that is because the 07 GS there is going to be 3 black colors that will be released and now here is where it gets strange. Blue onxy will not be made for the IS or GS and it will be replaced with a black that looks blue a bit and the next black will be a new pure black. Now the 3rd black is rumored to be a metalic black which is rummored to be a sport design GS color only. Ussually they do a spprt design when the car is going to change. So the spring would sound correct but know whos with lexus>?
