Lol yeah sorry. one day vBulletin would be as advanced as Microsoft Word with keeping everything in line. You would think that would have been done by now as the owner of this website also owns vBulletin.

Its best to click on the PDF link to read the specs haha.

Hehe that's alright and in fact, it can be envious at times just reading the specs of awesomeness.

The last time I had that sensation was when the specs for the Bentley Mulsanne were posted here on ClubLexus. Man it was like a sexual orgy just to read all that (props to 1SICKLEX/Mike for that one; it really felt like a verbal high )

Anyways, what else is there?

@flipside909

Of the units present during your test drive session, did any of them have the basic 8 inch screen without gps navigation?

I want to see how it looks like since it *might* be the screen that will arrive in the Philippine market versions next year.

Hehe just curious :P

Actually no. Every GS there Radar Cruise/Pre Collision System, Park Assist and NAV. All of them had the 18" wheels also.

TopGear Philippines was sent out here to evaluate the car this week. Hopefully Vernon will share some great news soon with you guys back there.

So the GS350's fuel economy has slightly improved from the old model's 19/26/22 to 19/28/23. Meanwhile the 2011 535i gets 20/30/24 with its 8AT, up drastically from 17/26/20 of the old 535i with 6AT, so it's a shame that the new GS350 isn't getting the 8AT and/or an improved engine to keep up with the competition.

On the other hand the GS450h's 29/34/31 is very, very impressive, soundly beating the M35h's 27/32/29.

Wow, it's Vince Socco (former marketing head of Toyota Motor Philippines and now a high-ranking official of Toyota Motors Asia Pacific).

Wow, it definitely shows the capability of the Filipino to be on the world-stage. Saludo ako sa iyo kapatid .

Back to the fog thing for a moment, with OEM JDM parts available it's not so bad that they don't come on USDM F-Sport models. A little mod and retro fit with OEM parts is easily doable.

For comparison sake, unless I'm missing something, even the Audi A6 S-Line doesn't have fogs (base model perhaps?)

Hoovey in 2012!!!! Thank you and there wasn't a whisper saying "OMG NO FOG LAMPS OMG DISASTER LETS MAKE 50 PAGE THREAD"

Nor is there hardly a whisper it looks like any Audi the last 100 years.

smh

Actually the A6 (not just the S-Line) has fog light (which Audi calls the all-weather light) built in to the headlight housing.

Check out the following video for more details:

If you equip the A6 with optional Lane Assist, however, you do get the cameras/sensors in something that looks like a fog light, one on each side:

So last night I had dinner with an epic group of people from out of town and it included:




And yes, I voiced your concerns to him about the foglights, special order and the GSF.

Hehe wow that's epic.

And hehe
Thanks for expressing those concerns.....especially stuff like custom orders, bespoke, and intent orders (especially for the Philippine market under Lexus Manila)

And please GS-F with minimum 500 HP (we gotta go ALL OUT ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!)

:P

Very nice! Hope they listen. If you get a chance please try mentioning making LED headlights available to non-hybrids like the JDM GS350 F-Sport too. This car simply needs those LEDs to complete the look IMO.
