Has anyone timed their 0-60? Just curious how accurate the numbers are that Lexus represents. 5.7 for the 430 and 6.8 for the rwd 300. I ask because I find it hard to believe that the C&D test on the Avalon could come up with 6.0. Yes is has a few horses on the GS300 but the GS has a 6 speed which I thought would almost even things out. I haven't seen any magazine test the times of the GS300 yet.

 

GS430 0-60:

R&T: 5.7s
C&D: 5.7s
MT: 6.0s
Edmunds: 6.4s
Autoweek: 6.7s
Automobile: 7.1s


GS300 AWD 0-60:

Motortrend: 7.2s
Consumer Reports: 7.4s
Edmunds: 7.7s


I don't know of any timed tests involving the GS300 RWD.

If anyone knows any more results, please add.

 

Thanks jrock65, nice summary.

 

Wow, that is a good summary. Are some of those guys testing with 5 linebackers buckled up and a load of bricks in the trunk?

 

Those are the most ridiculous numbers I've ever seen Those numbers are why I think there's something shady in all the comparisons with others in its class.
Maybe they drove 300 not a 430
