Anyone notice that on lexus.jp site, under the models category of the menu, there is a section labeled "IS"? The "GS" link works, and there is a flash presentation of the GS350 and GS450. The "IS" link is still greyed out, as is the "SC" link. I assume that the Japan introduction of the new IS is coming soon.

On another note, I guess the GS300 is now actually called the GS350 due to the new 3.5 liter V6 thats going to be used.

US markets will get the GS300 not the 350. Japan will get the GS350. GS450h will come to the US Lexus for 06 as a 2007.

it's funny how toyota puts different engine on the same car for different part of the world. but when you have such an enormous factory, you can do whatever you want

No GS350 for the US is a shame. Why have a GS450h and a GS430, BTW? Or will the 450h be the GT version?

i don't think the 450h will be the gt version. the gt version should be even faster. no one knows how fast the 450h will be yet. plus by that time, there will be no more 430, it will be 460

i would expect it to be around the price of the gs430, which will be around 50k

oh and yeah, the waiting list on the new gs is very long already
