Does 3Gs share the same engine with Camry??
Just curious..
I took my 06 gs to dealer for vibration. so they gave me an loaner 07gs350. first time try 350, so just wanna see what's diffe between 300 and 350 under the hood. after i open the hood and see "toyota" engine mark. so are they share the same engine. Even though they use the same I thought they will change it to lexus mark on engine cover.

Actually the ES and Camry V6 have the same engine, the gs300 had a different 3.0L engine, and the camry V6 (3.5L) and Gs350 V6 are similar except the gs engine has direct injetion and about 30 more hp because of the DI.
the gs350, different engine. direct injection, higher compression.

By the way, GS300, GS350, ES350 and Camry engines all part of GR series but they are different in many ways.
GS300 and GS350 both direct injection but one is 3L and one is 3.5L.
ES350 and Camry engine similar to GS350 engine but lacks direct injection.
Here is the detail of all current generation V6 Toyota engines.

That's weird. You can't put camry engine cover on GS because engine orientation is different. Remember? GS is RWD/AWD and Camry is FWD with enging sitting side ways.
