Lexus GS

Overview of the Lexus GS

When a certain Japanese car company declared the philosophy of its new luxury division to be ‘the relentless pursuit of perfection’ the sceptics laughed. Their smiles quickly faded, however, as Toyota’s quietly determined engineers developed a series of cars that set new levels for refinement, build quality and after-sales care. Having launched the original LS400 in 1990, Lexus dealers gained a second string to their bows three years later with the release of the sportier GS300. It boasted a six-cylinder engine, not a V8 like its bigger brother, yet both performance and refinement were superb. The styling too, was the topic of much discussion as many motor-noters remarked on the almost Jaguar-esque lines. In 1998, the replacement model swapped the British classic influence for a look all its own. Those four headlights were already a Toyota trademark from the Celica and comparisons with the quad lights of the Mercedes E Class were also noted. Whatever the styling influences of both generations of GS300, the result was successful in each case and buyers responded accordingly. Waiting lists, which have often existed with new Lexus models, have ensured excellent resale values and made the GS300 a much sought-after car in the used market.
