well, you are right. but that's where us the enthusiasts come in. the general public they look at the car, the price, the rate, etc... but we know better, we wanna know more, we wanna get more. we analyze, we study. and the way i see, a lot of us mod cars anyway for faster speed. so of course 1/4 counts

sad but maybe true...

I highly doubt Lexus is going to release two all new powertrains in 07 just to keep up w/competition. ChuH's info is unconfirmed 3rd party overseas info that doesn't apply to US Lexus distribution.

Unfortunately, us die hards are not more than 10% of Lexus' target market.
