Im waiting for the new g35 to come out so I can decide what Im going to do.. I have put off buying the lexus GS until I can test drive the G35. If lexus made the IS350 in AWD I would have had one in my driveway a long time ago. But since they dont Im left on trying to decide do I want to spend $50K on the loaded GS or high $30K's on the G35? We shall see, stay tuned

Uhmm not really. Toyota introduced Lexus and still plays a slight role in their operations.
Honda introduced Acura and still plays a role in their operations. Caddilac, well Cadillac is owned by GM not Chevy. GM actually bought Cadillac when they were barely 10 years old in 1908. Most of GM companies share platforms. Aston Martin was bought out by Ford in the 90's so In essence Toyota had a key role in the develpment of Lexuswhere Ford simply is supplying Aston Martin with funds and what not.
I would cringe at thinking that an Aston Martin is a Ford.
I know i know, they may have some ford parts here and there like a window relay or something.
Sorry for being a knit-picker.

The Aston V-12 is 2 Ford Duratec V-6s together...seriously...
Yes Lexus parent company is Toyota but clearly Toyota has been more successful with the LExus brand and its seperation. HEck Lexus has been sold worldwide since 1989....

I am going to close this as we have "another" G35 thread in car chat.
