  • Road Test: Lexus GS (2005-)
    Executive by: Farah AlKhalisi
    Lexus GS (05- )
    Mk3 GS is 5mm lower than before
    IMAGE RATING:

    In the USA, Lexus is regarded as a fully-fledged premium brand alongside the upper-echelon German marques, but it still doesn't have quite the same blue-chip appeal here, where many cynical Brits still see its models as jumped-up Toyotas. The GS is a good-looking car, however, much less overdone and fussy-looking than before. The slung-back cabin and long bonnet give it a muscle-car air, but it's aggressive without being too boy-racer. Whilst there's a resemblance to the outgoing Mk 2, it's not that easily identifiable as a Lexus, but this should change as upcoming other new models adopt the same front end and design approach.
