Lexus GS 200t

With four-cylinder engines making up to 40% of all Audi and BMW midsize sedan sales in the USA, the release of the Lexus GS 200t and its 2.0L turbo engine has come at an excellent time — from WardsAuto:


“We’re planning to start out in the mid-20% range with the 2.0L turbo, and we will see what the market calls for,” [Lexus corporate marketing manager Brian] Bolain says. “We will see if we need to go up as high as (the Germans) have gone.”


Globally, the segment skews even more aggressively toward 4-cyl. engines.


“In China, for example, sales of vehicles equipped with 2.0L turbo or smaller engines represent over 63% of the sales volume in the segment,” [VP of Marketing Brian] Smith says. “We’re excited this new 241-hp engine will allow us to respond to that strong global consumer demand.”


The GS 200t will produce 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, as compared to the Audi A6 2.0T with 252hp and 273 lb-ft of torque and the BMW 528i and its 240hp and 260 lb-ft of torque.


Things are certainly looking up for the GS, with sales growing 10% over the first half of this year. By comparison, the BMW 5-series is down 15%, the E-Class has dropped 36%, and the the CTS is 40% below last year’s sales.


We can't wait to test-drive this one and bring you all of the details. Keep an eye out for this bold new ride to come!!

The Lexus GS F Sport

The GS F, Yaguchi says, is the perfect mix between functionality and craftsmanship. “We had no intention of being crafty for the sake of it,” he says. “Everything in this car is there for a reason.” Here, the GS F comes to a halt on a desert road, revealing its elongated profile.
“This car will stand the test of time,” says Yaguchi, “because it is designed to appeal to the human senses.” Who should drive the GS F ? “Anybody who wants to enjoy driving,” Yaguchi says.

The Lexus GS F is a classy combination of sporty and sleek. It gives the driver the feel of racing the track while just on the way to the store. There is only one way to understand the thrill for yourself: A test drive. Come in today and  have every one of you expectations surpassed.

All New Lexus GS F

If you haven't already heard, Lexus USA has debuted the all new sport version of the Lexus GS! Unveiled in all its Ultrasonic Blue glory, the GS was designed to exceed expectations. Yukihiko Yaguchi, the chief engineer in charge of designing the GS F, boasts of the luxury vehicles ability to seamlessly "switch from public-road to track driving, which is the signature of F." Yaguchi also mentions the difficulty in keeping a "track car" luxurious on public roads, yet the GS seems to have made it look easy. The GS F boasts many of the signature F Performance qualities that Lexus has so boldly incorporated in their sport line. Some of these include the mesh grille, the front fender, hood and fascia add visible length tot he car, as well as a rear diffuser and four exhaust outlets to further add to the intimidating exterior.

It is clear that Lexus has made yet another bold leap into the sports car realm, and with great success thus far! Keep an eye out for the Lexus GS F on the roads and the lots (and don't forget the test-drive!)

Interview with Lexus GS F Chief Engineer

Automobile Magazine interviewed chief engineer of the Lexus GS, Yukihiko Yaguchi. Here are a few of the points worth mentioning in the interview as well as a look into Lexus' future:

Automobile: Was there any thought given to increasing power given that the Lexus GS F is bigger and heavier than the RC F, or are you confident it will perform with sedans in the similar class?
Yaguchi-san: The cars’ performance is almost the same so I want customers to choose which they like: sedan or coupe between RC F and GS F, as that is a matter of taste. The GS F will offer a Lexus F brand performance experience with a focus on fun and an easy-to-drive experience, while balancing its street and track character.

Automobile: The F performance brand is now been expanded to two main line models. How much further would you like to expand it?

Yaguchi-san: We don’t have future plans yet that we can share, but the F brand is a key part of Lexus globally going forward.

Automobile: Is there a desire or need to create another halo type vehicle along the lines of the Lexus LFA as an ultimate expression of the F performance brand?

Yaguchi-san: The Lexus RC F-based race car will take that responsibility instead. The RC F GT3 story will evolve in the coming year to help become an ultimate expression of F brand globally.
