7-speed or 8??
Based on what a senior Toyota engineer wrote in the second post in the below link, I'm a bit dubious about it really being 8 speed.

does anyone know in Japan, new V35 Skylines(AKA G35) has one model with 8 speed trans?
So it is not unlikly to do so...
But I wouldn't think it will be in LS460 since it is too much cost to develop a tranny just for one model! New IS and GS only have 6 speed.
They better come up with some lexus have manual tranny!(except on IS) That would be a better improvement!!! Just think about a V8 with manual from Lexus!! Sweet!
