pretty much a standard review about the GS...although from the site:

"The IS and GS are the runners in the Lexus pack, but we see the GS so rarely that we tend to forget it exists. And no wonder. The GS is the second slowest-selling Lexus in the brand's lineup. The first? The SC. A base LS is $20,000 more than a base GS, but the top flight sedan outsells the sport sedan nearly two-to-one."

This is quite interesting as I never suspected the GS to be the second-slowest selling lexus (always thought LX and SC were the two). I live in Westminster, CA so as you as imagine many people here love lexus and and I see tons of GS around town..

It's too funny that these guys thought that transmission was hunting for gears. It's a CVT, stupid! It doesn't hunt for anything.

actually if you look at this thread

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/car...es-thread.html

overall number (for a month), the lx and sc are the lowest. but i guess when they say lexus, they might mean the passenger cars?

there are quite a lot of gs around, but among its class, i think it's not as popular

Its in its last year, it isn't supposed to sell well. It will never sell better than the IS/ES/RX. Then the GS 450h is a limited production model.

What I am TIRED of people NOT mentioning is the GS was 3rd best selling in class after the 5 and E from 2005-2009. No small feat especially since the GS has AWFUL lease rates.

I'll read later.
