Default New GS330/430 will probably have that feature. Current GS300/430 does not and will not have it.

2003 is the last year for the current GS as the new one will come out for 2004. 2001+ LS430 is $10K-$20K overpriced and therefore a poor value in the Lexus line up despite extrordinary quality, durability, reliability, luxury, comfort and quietness.

What's up with W12TT that VW's has? Heard Phaeton will get it, does that mean A8, also?

Default Where did you hear Phaeton will get twin turbo W12?

I and everyone else have heard nothing about this. This info is probably from a miscellaneous automotive source and they are probably full of ****.

Default Re: A huge step in the right direction, this is what flagship is all about

The MB S500 WILL NOT do 0-60 in 6 flat. The S55 takes a hell of a lot longer time than low to mid 4 seconds to reach 60. More like high 5's.

Remeber you are comparing a 4.2L engine to a 5.0L engine. Or a 5.5L at that. S55 _starts_ at 100 grand. Totally not worth it. Especially with Benz's recent cost-cutting methods which are SO obvious to me as a true auto enthusiast. NEXT!!!
