souped up means more luxury, but the engine, drivetrain and chassis ay Camry, mas maganda ang interior

new GS looks great, although i think they could have done away with the chrome eyeliner

edmunds.com also ranked it ahead of the Acura RL and Infiniti M (sport version) in a three-car sport-sedan comparo

FYI, souped-up doesnt necessarily mean luxury. It could range from luxury to performance.

souped-up in general means 'upgraded' to those who are non-enthusiast. It is modified/upgraded by the manufacturer from the get go.

looking at the ES' advantage over Camry, its a modified/upgraded camry indeed.

recently revealed at the New York Auto Show, the hybrid version of the Lexus GS series to be called Lexus GS450h .it will be powered by 3.5L V6 mated with an electric motor with a combined output of 300 horses. no mileage numbers available yet but Lexus says it will around the vicinity of your average 2.0L 4-cylinder engines. whoa!
