I think this is a GREAT idea for Lexus.. Reason being - before this, I was afraid Lexus was going to become the next BMW. Oddly enough, I'm not a big fan of BMW. I prefer Mercedes and Lexus (and Cadillac, of course). Like old Cadillacs, I prefer soft, warm, comfortable interiors with soft rides. The Lexus GS and IS certainly aren't soft and warm anymore (to me). The outgoing GS felt much more "luxurious" to me - and the new one feels just like a BMW. Cold, hard and almost uncomfortable.
Now, with this new performance division, they can leave the cold, hard interiors and stiff suspensions where they belong - and give us back our warm and cozy, luxurious vehicles..
