New engines (rumor?) for 250.. what about 350?
so i heard Lexus may want to replace 250 engine 2.5L V6 soon to a boosted 4 banger? Not sure if this has any real validity, but that's what i've heard. Does anyone have any links to if this is actually going to happen?
More importantly, any new changes to the 3.5L v6? or are they going to keep it NA?

Interesting... if the entry-level 2.5 L is getting boosted four cylinder engine at 250 HP I wonder what the 3.5 L 350 engine is going to do since their output is at 306 which is not a big difference from the said 250 HP engine

The pursuit of F
^^^ No news or rumors on the 3.5L changing. Having the 240-260 hp Turbo 4 alongside the 3.5L V6 306 hp puts it in line with the 3-series' offerings 240hp I4 /300hp V6. With the 250 sales being 4x more than the 350, the risk is the 350 footprint will be even smaller with the more powerful turbo 4 , unless the price gap shrinks. We'll see...
