I found such a thing when I searched trademark registration in patent electronic library of the Japanese Patent Office. Lexus GS460 and SC460. Will it be an engine same as LS460 announced in Detroit?

From firsthand experience, I can tell you that companies will apply for and register all sorts of trademarks without ever having the intention of bringing the related product to market.

Heck, if you do a search on the USPTO website, you'll find our friends at BMW have trademarked all sorts of nonesense.

Consider the upcoming Z7 or ever wonder what a Z5 would look like and what about this ... instead of the oft-bashed i-Drive ... how about the new MyDrive?

Cheers.

yes the GS460 will coming out this year when they introduce the GS350. The GS460 will use the same motor as the LS460. Historically the GS has always been tuned to make a little more power than the LS. Since the LS 460 is going to make 380hp don?t be surprised if the GS460 makes 400hp.
