Lexus GS300 Review - The Truth About Cars
But I respect Lexus for selling a model lineup that keeps faith with their "luxury car as mobile mausoleum" brand heritage. But the "new" GS300 is a far more worrying development: a bespoke model that turns its back on everything that made The Big L successful in the first place. The new GS300 represents a bold and beautiful break from Lexus' amorphous aesthetic. The four-door's front end seems a bit of an 8-Series crib, and the rear is as confused as an absinthe drinker, but the GS300's hunkered stance and nose-heavy proportions project a genuine sense of aggression. If ever a car promised to give the BMW 530i a decent run for the money– and quite a lot of money it is too– the GS300 is it. Entering the GS is a disconcerting experience. While the GS' central display and flanking buttonology are a clear and present arranger, the graphic display is pure Prius. Overall, the interior's stuck on Pampercon 5. Fire-up the GS' 3. 0-liter six, squeeze the go-pedal and it's immediately clear that Munich's flame-surfaced sedan can continue niche carving without fear of L-badged aggravation. For one thing, our test GS shunted like a. Source: www.thetruthaboutcars.com
