Confirm will - because it will replace the GS250 (2.5l V6) entry model, which I believe is the main seller for GS.

 

However, the new 2.0l turbo engine seems to be expensive to manufacture - NX200t OMV is super high; In taiwan, some reviews say that the IS200t is priced more expensive than outgoing IS250 => so price may go up.

So same power as bmw 520i and merc E200?

lexus already over priced in SG. if this babe is more ex than gs250, will be difficult to sell.

Most likely short term issue. When the engine starts to trickle down towards Toyota, economy of scale will lower the production cost.

i think similar to 528.

[Steptronic]

Much more than 520i and E200. 180kW vs 181bhp. Wait, why you need so powerful when those users worried only about maintenance and fuel consumption? BM, please bring 160t or 140t.

No need mod till 400hp lah. For 520/528, throw away rear seat. Change boot and bonnet to CF.

 

535 already hit sub 6 second liao.

of course need so powerful, because Singapore road too many 2 lanes merge to one,

whoever don't expect be smoked, buy more and more powerful car, totally don't mind fuel consumption

[Steptronic]

if that is the requirement. 1.6 turbo can do a better job than bigger NA engines.
