Default Does the GS460 exist?

I own a LS460 and was thinking of changing to a GS for my next car. I went to the dealer in Southern California (Cerritos) and they said that they haven't gotten a GS460 in over a year and they can't even get a special order. Is that true? What about 2012 - will there be 8 cyclinder cars built?

Hmm last I heard the GS460 was special order. Maybe try a different dealer. With the 4GS coming somewhat soon its possible they're only making X amount of 3GS

Nope, the GS460 doesn't exist! It was a conspiracy theory! LOL

It does exist, and here is a picture of a brand new 2011 model on the lot at JM Lexus in South Florida.

Yeah I agree with that, I've seen maybe three or four 460's than 450h

GS450h's are even more common here. There were only 2 new GS460s on the lot at JM. But several GS450hs.

Here you see 3 GS450hs in a row.


There was also one on the left of the GS460 I showed earlier.


And 3 on the other side of the lot.


I didn't walk the whole lot, but oddly in this area there were 5 silver GS450hs and 1 white one.

WOw, those silver one`s look so bland.
Nothing like black for this car, IMO.

Why would you want to downgrade? Unless they severely revamp the new GS models, I would stick with what you have. I'd love to have an AWD 09+ LS460 but budget doesn't allow for something like that yet in my life. All other features aside, I think the LS460 is the best looking lexus next to the IS-F of course.
