The funny thing is, I say that I wouldn't want a V6, yet if I bought a 7 Series or an A8, or an XJ I probably wouldn't spring for the V8. G90? I'd want the V8.

Maybe its something about those cars being "so good" that I would be satisfied with the 6. Would the LS be the same way? I dunno.

No way they'd put an NA V6 in the flagship sedan. No way. It would be absurd.

On Friday, I asked a sales associate at my St. Louis Lexus dealership about the V6 rumors in the new LS. According to him, the LS will be offered with the same V8 engine as the LC, and the V6 turbo was news to him! I think Lexus Corporate has done a darn good job of planting all kinds of confusing information (and rumors) about the new LS. The suspense is exciting...

I don't think Lexus Corporate has said anything. The rumors have been started by bloggers', journalists' and forum members' speculation.
