Both the 2010 Lexus GS 350 and GS 460 get new iPod and USB connectivity, Bluetooth streaming audio and active front headrests, plus an integrated XM satellite radio receiver with the standard Lexus Premium Sound System. The optional Lexus Navigation system has been updated with Voice Command casual-language voice recognition and Bluetooth phonebook download. Standard XM NavTraffic/Weather capability is also built in, though it only comes with a 90-day subscription. Safety Connect is also standard on non-navigation equipped vehicles, while the Enform telematics system is added when navigation is equipped.
New exterior colors include Deep Sea Mica, which replaces Black Sapphire Pearl, and Satin Cashmere Metallic, which replaces Golden Almond Metallic.
The Hybrid GS 450h gets all that plus a few more updates, giving it a new look. New 18-inch alloy wheels, a revised grille and clear taillight covers are included. Blue-colored hybrid badging like other Lexus hybrids also features prominently, making it clear the GS 450h isn't a normal gas-powered luxury sedan.
Power for the 2010 Lexus GS 350 comes from a 3.5L V6 making 303-hp and a peak torque of 274 lb-ft. The 2010 Lexus GS 460 is powered by a V8 that produces 342-hp and 339 lb-ft of torque. Both are mated to a 6-speed automatic with sequential shifting. The GS 450h nearly matches the V-8's output at from its combination of electric drive and a 3.5-liter V-6 engine, and though it's a hybrid, it actually out-accelerates the V-8 GS 460 by 0.2 seconds to 60 mph (5.2 seconds vs 5.4 seconds).
The pricing for the 2010 GS 350 RWD starts at $45,000, while the 2010 GS 350 AWD starts from $46,950. The 2010 GS 460 takes off from $53,470 and the mildly revised GS 450h hybrid starts from $56,550.
