Looks like lexus is pulling a Acura and merging two vechicles in their lineup to 1 car.....

Thoughts?

For a second I thought I clicked on IS forum section.
Don't get me started on what Lexus should be doing to their line up.

Well.. you can thank the ES F-Sport and upcoming ES AWD for putting that final nail in the GS's coffin.

As for powertrains, someone on Lexus Enthusiast might of figured out what the new 'Lexus work horse' will be to replace the GR series:

Between the naturally aspirated A25A and V35A-FTS there is one engine what this forum calls the 'main workhorse engine' (though it kind of isn't), a long overdue replacement for the now over-a-decade-old GR series. Two possibilities exist: the preferred solution is the six cylinder V30A-FTS while the less desirable (but financially more reasonable for Toyota) solution is the four cylinder A25A-FTS. Either design could fit perfectly in the 225-270kW(300-370hp) range, the former benefiting from a bigger displacement and the latter capable of using twin-scroll turbochargers. Regardless of the final choice, this engine is crucial for Lexus' performance models.
