Have any of you guys heard any further info in regards to the next gen GS or seen any spy shots or images of the next gen car? I see the 2010 ES will only be getting minor headlight and bumper revisions but nothing to celebrate about.

My real concern is the GS-F I have a feeling that they are waiting for the M5 to be released or for more info to come about before they show any info on the GS or GS-F. Let me hear what you guys input is on this matter.

Any info would be appreciated.

Dealer input so take it for what its worth, but my salesperson was telling me the info they have to date is that the new models will be announced about Oct of this year and there will be a newer V6 coming out with more HP and better mileage. He believed they may drop the 8 and just have possibly two versions of the 6 with the standard and a higher output version. Other than cosmetic updates, body et all would remain the same for yet another year.

JD just gave it best mid-sized premium car for 2009, so I guess if its not broke dont fix it.

They have to come out with a new model by next year to compete against it's competitors which we all know who those are.

What about the GS-F???

If Lexus really drops the V8, they'll surely lose some customers to BMW/Merc. Image will get a hit as well. ... they need to make the V8 more powerful to distance it from the V6 and maybe even from the hybrid, which has some handicap in its trunk size. The GS-F, on the other hand, while necessary for image, is going to be quite a different animal as an everyday drive - for price, fuel economy, suspension settings.

Actually we have talked about this topic many times (Search) and there is absolutely NO information. We just know the usuals;
-it will get bigger, surely heavier
-it will get the "remote touch" option and no more touch screen NAV
-a next gen Hybrid version
-I expect the V-8 to bump up to 380hp like in the LS 460
-we only have rumors of a GS-F version

I hope Lexus comes up with something soon. There are a lot of manufacturer's out there biting off Lexus' exterior shape. Seems every new launch of a new sedan has Lexus cues embedded in its exterior. The new Buiick is the latest.

GSF will have a V10 and will see them in no time

Real question is who is going to get one???

based upon what I have been reading about a GS-F with V8 or other and 500+ plus HP, if that can be believed, I would say that its likely it will live in the high end, maybe they will just have two flavors of the 6>? like Acura has the stock and the Type S. Just a guess, should be interesting to see what they come up with. I want a GS-F!
