Rumorpile: Lexus GS Coupe To Arrive For 2014 Model Year?

Inside Line reports that Lexus is working a GS coupe to compete with the Audi A5/S5, BMW 6-Series, and Mercedes E-Class. This appears to confirms a comment made by Lexus' general manager Mark Templin back in January, stating he would like to see a replacement for the SC430.

Lexus has a holdup though on the GS Coupe. Currently, they're debating which powertrain to use. The GS sedan uses a 3.5L V6 (GS350) and a hybrid V6 setup (GS450h). Those two and a GS-F model with a unique drivetrain and tuning are under consideration.

The coupe is expected to be introduced sometime in the first quarter of 2013 with sales beginning later in the year.

Well... yes it's news. I can't imagine a GS coupe being very interesting though.

Nice to see more coupes in the market...it will be interesting to see if the metal looks like a 2dr version of the GS or if they give it some uniqueness...

I didn't know about this. I know that he did one year at NYU in New York City and it wasn't the greatest experience for him so he transferred to some kind of satellite campus or program of it in DC. It is the only First Family that I've seen in my lifetime that has such questionable people. Most of the time, the extended family just stays out of the picture ... like they should.

I will have to say I actually like this heavy metal version of Gilligan's Island theme song. https://youtu.be/9j_bGzpgFrM

Sadly all kids are affected by their parents, I hope he just does not become as narcissistic as his dad or brothers. He is starting with some other rich people a energy drink company. I wonder if he will actually try to grow it or as soon as he thinks he has gotten what money out of it, will abandoned it.

I'm trying to be realistic and I have to say that I feel bad for Barron Trump. Like any other kid, rich or poor, he was probably hoping for a normal childhood, yet his parents are both so controversial and getting increasingly raked over in the media. It has turned into a circus, and this kid is smack in the middle of his college education.

Cunard's Queen Mary 2 does the crossing from April through December. From January up to April, she is on a world cruise to keep her mostly in the southern hemisphere. At other times, the crossing takes 7 days. She goes from New York to Southampton UK. She obviously has to do the journey in the other direction, too. That's quite a few crossings. Interspersed might be some cruises to the Norwegian fjords, the Mediterranean, and New England with Eastern Canada. This is the only ship dedicated to doing the transatlantic crossing most of the year. Most of the other cruise lines do repositioning transatlantic twice a year. They go from mostly Florida to the Mediterranean in April and they come back in November. For that, it is a limited window, but there are a lot of lines doing it with at least one of their ships: Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Holland America, Carnival, etc. It's a great experience, and you might get to stop at Bermuda, the Azores, Madeira, the Canaries, and/or Gibraltar. The ships run quite a bit slower at ~16 knots, and those crossings take about 14 days. You do not want to be accosted by overweight older women who are Trumpers and might even attend a Bible study or two. They will not make your day. However, there will be some interesting people aboard. If you choose to ignore just about everything around you, the experience can be incredibly relaxing.

In everything, not just EV batteries. How often can you travel? I have heard that the time slots for transatlantic ocean travel are quite limited. Th en$h!ification of the country continues.
