On a related note, my lease expires in a couple months. I've received many calls from Lexus, Infiniti, BMW and MB soliciting my business. Now..how the heck does Infiniti, BMW and MB knows my lease expires soon???
those are factory wheels on 06 gs430

apparently all these lease/finance info are pretty well known across industry. when my sc430 lease came to an end, i got all kind of calls and mails from other manufacturers too, including honda (that was so odd). same thing with my friend's bmw and mb

You're right! I stand corrected.

A friend at Lexus corporate has seen mock-ups of the exterior and interior of the next generation GS, but said it's at least another 24 months out.

how many months ago did he say that

I would HOPE that we're not looking at a 2013 GS debuting in 2012. That would be WAY too far out. My hope is still for something at least next winter (ie Jan 2011ish)

Come on guys... this thread is like a roller coaster! I see the title and think damn no 4GS for a while. Then I see yeah 4GS is coming soon!!! Followed up with mockups indicate at least 24 months. You guys really know how to kick a guy in the nuts repeatedly!

Expect development tests again on the Ring well before the launch.

From my understanding the RWD active diff is coming to the GS, so power can be shifted from left to right and where the traction is. I would think with the next AWD GS then has these same attributes. Acura started it, now Audi, BMW, Porsche, Volvo have it with their AWD systems.

Lexus could be the first with it for a RWD application. I expect marketing to really explain how it works to people through advertisements.

The next generation GS is not coming out any time soon. I will not allow it!
