I would rather spend the money on the GS 460 than the GS 450h. 339 is only 39 horsepower over 300. Lexus/Toyota lies a lot about their vehicles. 39 is not excess, maybe in Japan but we are in America.

electric motor = low end, gas motor = top end.....it should have one helluva low end and a very flat overall power curve. It's all about area under the curve, not so much peak power(within reason).

take a look at similar engines making 340 horses. the 300c hemi comes to mind. what kind of gase mileage does that get?
