Engines:
3.0 liter V6 - 245 hp; 228 lb.-ft. of torque
4.3 liter V8 - 300 hp; 325 lb.-ft. of torque
Transmission: 6-speed sequential automatic

Significantly, the new GS will feature all-wheel-drive, the first such application in any Lexus car, and offer the performance enhancements and advanced vehicle control of the Lexus Vehicle Dynamic Management (VDM) system. Monitoring a variety of sensors, the system is capable of anticipating the onset of a vehicle skid or slide and then helps correct the situation with a combination of braking and throttle control. The new VDM system is less obtrusive than conventional VSC but ultimately more effective.

why would Lexus/Toyota use an AWD system taken from a Nissan/Infiniti vehicle that makes absolutely no sense what so ever. Also the car looks really good, I like the new style of the headlights.

still not as classy as a Benz, in fact i think the new VW's look better on the inside and out

wow, I never knew so many ppl hated lexus........I think it looks pretty nice, but if there's a manual transmission option, it would have a better fight against BMW

The new BMW 5 series is not exactly pretty either so, tread lightly on the lexus keke

i like lexus, cause they are well built and comforatble cars, and i like the new headlight / taillights, and who can argue with toyota/lexus build quality :D
i think tho too, it does look huge, cause the back glass and how it swoops sp far back and meets the trunk..
but its a nice looking car, i think the lexus cars are good looking, i think my faves tho are the IS300/430 and the older sc300/sc400s

Damn it looks somewhat like the new maxima. Hopefully they offered the twin turbo engine for JDM market.
