The Lexus "Lines"
Has Lexus always used this nomenclature?
The LS line, GS line, ES line, IS line, RX line, etc.
So why isn't this used by most people? I've never seen it here even in Club Lexus, most of the time it's just "the LS" or "the GS". I think now I'll start using this naming system.

It's just "the LS" and "the GS" and so.
For generations, 1st gen is 1LS, 2nd gen is 2LS and so forth.
For engine differentiation, we add the numbers . ISx50 is for both the IS250 and IS350. 2GS300 is the 2nd gen GS300 (pre 2006), before the 3GS300 (2006 only), before the 3GS350 (2007 to 2012), before the 4GS350 (post 2013).

The whole thing makes perfect sense. They are now called lines because Lexus has expanded each model considerably over the years. Hybrids, F-sports, upgraded engines, different wheelbases, etc. There's a lot to choose from with each "line" of cars they offer. You can't just call it an "LS" anymore... that could mean four different models.
