Default When is the 2006 IS due out?

Do we have any interior measurements?

Thanks

No specs for the interior yet. It debuts in the US next week in NY. It should be sold this September.

I cannot even begin to fathom how incredible that car will be. Imagine it more luxurious and now with swoopy styling. And then a hybrid version. That car is going to be ridiculous.

New York auto show isn't for another 3 weeks actually

Also...the GS450h will debut at New York. I can't wait to hear the specs. They wouldn't make it slower than the GS430...I hope 0-60 is between 5-5.5 seconds. The RX400h electric engine produces almost 70 hp...so the GS should be more than that, making the total hp be well above 300. Also, I bet the base price of this car will be $60,000-$62,000. I remember when I didn't care about the GS, now I love it because it is the first care in the new design direction. Also, I just realized how off topic I got. Haha.

I heard that it will be out in August and I have also heard the end of the year.

GS450h Hybrid will not be available until 2006 as a 2007 model. The new IS should be out for sale officially by September 2005.

Is the GS450h going to combine a 3.5 V6 GR engine with an electric motor?
