On Thursday Lexus revealed the GS 350. Now we've got more photos and every little fact you wanted to know about the vehicle..............................................

Body rigidity has been significantly increased with more and new advanced laser welding.

The all-new front and rear suspensions are now lighter and more responsive. They’ve been designed to enhance steering feel, improve ride comfort, reduce body roll, and increase straight-line stability.

And the new design of the rear suspension also allows for a trunk that’s now 25% bigger!

And it’s powered by an even better 3.5-liter engine with both port and direct injection that puts out 306 horsepower, giving it a more powerful base engine than Mercedes and BMW.

 

You’ll be able to check-in on Facebook, look for reviews on Yelp, buy movie tickets with Movietickets.com, or make restaurant reservations through Open Table.

Or wondering where to get the best burger? Find it through Bing search or Destination Assist.

A new 835-watt Mark Levinson audio system that features GreenEdge speakers that are lighter, more energy-efficient, and have less distortion. The new system produces almost three times as many watts per channel over the previous generation.
