Default All new GS

My GM just got back from the national dealer meeting where the new GS was unveiled. It will be produced October of next year with a January launch. He said the car will be a AWD with a 2 inch longer wheelbase and 1 inch longer body. He is not very good at describing things but he said " catlike ready to spring forward with race car lines". He also used words like amazing etc...

He is not here for me to ask anymore questions. He said that they still called it a GS300 but didnt elaborate on engine specs. He also said that the HPX will be produced in 3years. He also said that in 2years the new IS platform will be introduced with the Sedan first, then every 3mos another version.

Awesome news!

Was there any mention of an autoshow where the new GS will debut?
