I don't know, heres a few links i found http://www.autospies.com/news/Lexus-...our-race-7633/
http://www.automotivedigest.com/view...ticlesID=15286

I wasn't sure how many diff 3GS were there so i just looked up some keywords and there seemed like there was enough evidence for a 430h. Haha i just didn't want to forget anybody's car. If the 430h isn't a US production car then just dont vote it =]

Here's something I find funny.. the people that were in the Acura forum I used to frequent when I owned an RL would go ON and ON about the RL needing a V8 in order to be able to compete with the likes of BMW/Infinity/Lexus. Looking at the survey results.. doesn't seem like many have chosen the V8 option. So much for that theory as to why Acura isn't competing well in the sport/lux segment.

They been saying that about Acura forever, maybe the new nsx will have a V8, but then there are rumors out there that Acura will skip the V8 and go straight to a V10 on the new nsx

GS350 AWD here. I had the Rattles and Squeaks option package, but I had it taken out about 4 weeks ago successfully. - The XM radio sounds much better now!
