it won't be long until the gs430 becomes the gs460. my guess is since the gs has always made a little more power then the LS, i wouldn't be surprisd if the gs460 came close to 400hp.

The LS 460 monitor looks like it might be a touch-screen type, although all the buttons surrounding the monitor on the sides as well as below suggest otherwise.

Wait a sec... the new MB S550 has 380hp, the future E550(?) will have the same V8, now lexus with a 380hp V8?

Looks like a horsepower war in the works.

I think a GS460 will look better.

Will BMW and it's N62TU 360hp V8 hold it's own?
