Looks so good. I wish this one would sell a lot better than the 3GS.

There's been no leak at all about hp numbers? Are they just trying to make us forget about what's under the hood?

just get a base model if loads of tech bothers you.

see above. and it's a luxury car and has to be competitive with features.

Hope to see at least 320HP for the GS350.

Where is the market for it? I would love to see published numbers by any maker that shows breakdown of sales by package. I would bet that the meat n' potatoes of the sales come from the base to mid-luxury packages. Anyway, it's good to see the newer version becoming less pudgy and more athletic...the weight savings will hopefully be reflected in the performance and MPG numbers.

Thanks, was hoping I missed a release, that's disappointing.

On a side note:

Doesn't look like there will be much room for slightly modding the body (TTE lip, etc). Seems you either will go all in or you won't. Which is probably a good thing as it leaves less room for questionable tastes to enter the equation

With all these added weight I really hope they improve the drivetrain so the performance won't be affected negatively.

Love the interior. However the gauges have absolutely no personality.

Hoping that the gs-f will have the current 2011 IS-f gauges
