The biggest news for the 2005 GS (besides the switch to the V6 engine) will be the AWD option for both the 330 and 430. The next IS will also probably have the 330 V6. What is unclear right now is if the next IS will also have the AWD option. Keep your fingers crossed......

My sources said AWD only for the GS3 not the 4.

OK...we'll keep that in mind. I saw a reference to that some time ago myself...then I saw some others that also included the 400. Perhaps they want to take some extra time, do some more testing, and make sure that the AWD's CV joints, drive shafts, differentials, etc.....can take the extra torque of the 400.

Will the long 2006 model year for the GS hurt resale value?
