Just one thing i know:
Bulletproof V8 engine.Only downside is that it uses timing belt.

That car is far more luxurious than the 2008 Lexus ES350(full option). Rear wheel drive only(as it is a v8)

Another thing, It has air suspension, which can be tuned for comfort or sport at the flick of a switch. System is quite reliable though. Incase it fails you can switch to conventional shocks.

One thing you must never do is, miss service schedules...... Maintenance is of utmost importance, treat it well, it would return the favour........

Also it's a V8..... Higher than normal fuel expenses.....

Care to explain why timing belt is a downside? It's not like the engine with detonate if the belt snaps, would it?

It is an interference engine. If the timing belt snaps, the valves will hit the pistons.

If that happens, new engine loading

Bros, what do you think about the GS300 (S190 chassis)? i know in the UK that the GS300 was in vogue, alongside the GS450H and GS 430 (the GS 350 was not sold there)


Any idea on engine cost of the GS300?

Interference!! Bloody hell!!! I assumed it was a non-interference engine like the 5S-FE on tiny light/pencil Camry. That's so fugged sad
