While some luxury-sport sedans are built on the Three Bears theory - not too hard, not too soft, just right in between - the best ones manage to deliver high levels of both performance and comfort at the same time. Such is the newest Lexus GS.On the highway it's a cruiser, with comfortable seating and amenities and a ride that easily qualifies the luxury component of its dual-purpose nature. And when the road gets narrow and twisty, the GS is eager to keep pace with its European counterparts, even if its operator isn't armed with the same Teutonic intangibles.
Mark Levinson Surround SoundDelivering true 5.1 Surround Sound through 14 speakers, the optional DVD-Audio surround system is one of the finest factory sound systems we've ever heard.Hideaway ControlsTo reduce cabin clutter, a cleverly hidden but easily accessed drop-down dash panel hides 14 infrequently used controls.
Inside, the GS expresses its enthusiastic character with sharp lines, perforated leather seating and attractive machined-aluminum gauge faces. Overall, the passenger cabin is a comfortable, sensible environment outfitted in wood, polished metal and leather. The backseat is also comfortable, offering generous headroom and legroom plus comfortable quasi-bucket seats that provide welcome lateral support on spirited drives. Technology fans will love the seemingly endless array of gadgets and gizmos, a phalanx so sophisticated it may turn off an equal number of buyers who feel one shouldn't have to be an MIT graduate to operate one's car.
The fact that Lexus has managed to develop such a passionate following while wrapping its cars in admittedly bland styling speaks volumes about the appeal of quality and attention to detail that seemingly remains underestimated by many other carmakers. And while not a radical design by any stretch, the latest GS is the first to incorporate the company's new L-Finesse design philosophy that's meant to charge Lexus vehicles with more emotional appeal - and provide yet another reason for buyers to opt into the Lexus family. Perhaps the most notable design element is the fastback-style roofline that terminates in a very short rear deck. Interestingly, the current model evokes the first-generation GS much more than the second-generation model it replaced.
Even a "base" GS features a complete list of standard features that includes leather seating, keyless entry/start, xenon headlamps, heated 10-way power front seats with memory, four-way power adjustable steering wheel, seven-inch LCD touchscreen and four one-touch windows. Safety features include a full complement of airbags; front, side and knee airbags for front passengers and a side-curtain airbag protecting all four outboard passengers. Stepping up to the GS 430 adds not just the V8, but also an active suspension, variable gear ratio steering and a sophisticated active vehicle stability system, all of which are unavailable on the GS 350.
Optional equipment on the GS sedan includes all-wheel drive (GS 350 only), Generation 5 Lexus DVD navigation system with rear backup camera, Mark Levinson Surround Sound audio system, rear park assist sensors, adaptive headlamps (standard on GS 430), pre-collision system with dynamic radar cruise control, moonroof, ventilated front seats and run-flat tires.
The new 3.5-liter V6 in the GS 350 begs the question: Why opt for the V8? Of course the GS 430 does offer more torque and amenities, not to mention an advanced electronic suspension. Unless absolute power is paramount we think most people will be more than pleased with the V6.3.5-liter V6303 horsepower @ 6200 rpm274 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3600 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 21/29 (RWD), 20/27 (AWD)4.3-liter V8290 horsepower @ 5600 rpm319 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3400 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/25
Even with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $ 44,865, the GS 350 is a complete luxury car equipped with most of the traditional accoutrements except a moonroof. All-wheel drive is about $ 2,000 extra, while stepping up to the V8-motivated GS 430 runs at least $ 53,090. A look at the Fair Purchase Price gives an idea of the typical transaction price being paid for the GS in your area. It's a valuable tool to have before beginning negotiations, so be sure to check it often. As for value, the GS 350 is expected to retain excellent five-year resale values, on par with the Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series, but slightly below the new Mercedes-Benz E350.
The third generation of the Lexus GS, introduced in 2005 at the North American International Auto Show, marks the introduction of the new L-finesse design philosophy.
If American car-manufacturer heads had been warned about a Japanese take-over in the mid 80's, they would have almost certainly laughed at the prospect. Humorous or not, the Japanese did conquer US, not through mecha led wars but rather through anime and cars. However, before the mild-assault began, there were a series of weird meetings held in secrecy in chairman chambers.
Such a meeting was held in 1983 between Toyota chairman Eiji Toyoda and his company executives. Toyoda had not invited his enforcers over for cookies and tea but to question them about the possibility of developing a luxury-car line that could successfully compete with American brands. The project was labeled as F1 -Flahship 1- and proved to be a most lucrative endeavor. The result was a vehicle that later became known as the Lexus LS 400 prior to its US premier.
The LS 400 was not just a car that took time and resources to built. In researching American luxury-product consumer habits and lifestyles, the Japanese went as far as renting a house in Laguna beach in order to observe their “subjects” closely. Offspring of long-gestating consumer research and cutting-edge engineering, the LX 400 was a hit.
Endorsed by insightful advertising, the LS 400 made its entrance at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, 1989 where it was one of the main attractions. And how could it not have been after 24 engineering teams and a few thousands employees worked on 450 prototypes at the cost of a paltry $ 1 billion investment?
The main advantage Lexus had over Acura, that had reached US markets 3 years before, was its uniqueness. Unlike the first Acura models which were sold as rebadged Hondas, the Lexus held little connections to Toyota design patterns.
Silent, ergonomic, powerful and reliable, the LS became a fierce competitor for European imports such as Mercedes Benz and BMW, whose sales drastically dropped following Lexus' trumpeting market entrance.
Models like the ES 250 followed which along the LS registered enough sales to allow the brand expanding through an 81-dealership network. During those first years of sales, Lexus became the top-selling luxury car in the U.S. Things were going smoothly for the Japanese manufacturer, just like its cars, and in 1991, two new models were released: the SC400 coupe and the ES 300 sedan. The latter was marketed as a replacement for the ES 250 and quickly became the company's best selling sedan.
Following the release of a heir to the LS 400 and the Toyota Aristo-based series of the GS, Lexus entered the sport utility vehicle segment in 1996 with the launch of the LX 450, a large car based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 100. By 1998, Lexus would release the RX, a top-selling crossover based on Toyota's Camry model as well as a new series of the GS. During the following years, further technological improvements such as the introduction of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system on the 2005 RX 400h, resulted in an even greater sales increase.
Things were so good for Lexus that it has constantly grown since its inception. The brand has been introduced to the Japanese home-market in 2005 as well as it has in other regions of Asia and South America as well as Australia and Europe. By 2007, Lexus had spread in over 50 countries and it continues to grow. The company's “pursuit of perfection” is fronted by its current line-up, comprised of the IS, LS and RX series among others as well as the avant-garde LF-A concepts.
2007 Lexus GS Consumer Reviews

"Perfect mix of luxury and power"
I’ve owned this car for only a few months now and have already put 5000 miles on it. This car is fast, I own the AWD model and once you put it in the “power” mode it starts flying. Even in the regular mode it’s easy to overtake other cars on the highway. It does have 300 HP. It’s quiet though, and the inside has plenty of neat features, heated and cooled seats, power rear sunshade, and fully automatic seats. Even the gas mileage is good, the AWD is only supposed to get 25 MPG on the highway but I’ve seen it hit a 28 MPG average multiple times.

"Absolutley Love This Vehicle"
I have the AWD model and it's been a fantastically fun vehicle to drive, especially on the highway. If I'm doing 65MPH and put my foot down to get around a vehicle, I'm doing 90Mph before I know it. It's a smooth power unlike American transmissions that drop hard and the engine roars violently. The only issues that I had with it was the Alternator failed around 130K miles. I did the work myself and it was a bit of a pain as they placed a bolt on the bottom/back that isn't visible and difficult to reach. There is a limited recall on the engine dealing with the head design and my car began to experience the symptoms of the recall. I took it to the dealer and was told that my vehicle had missed the deadline by a few months. It's a $ 5500 bill to rebuild the engine. So, I'm burning oil at the rate of 1Qt every 80 miles. Unfortunately, my son was involved in an accident and totalled the car. He is just fine, not even a scratch. Thank goodness he was in this car, VERY safe vehicle.
The Lexus GS models deliver the sharp driving dynamics of a sports sedan with the refinement and quality of a Lexus luxury sedan. Rear-wheel drive, a four-wheel double-wishbone independent suspension, and a luxurious cabin are the key ingredients to this formula. The GS 430 is an exciting sports sedan with a 300-horsepower V8 that gobbles […]
