This video interview with Lexus GS Chief Engineer Yoshihiko Kanamori proves the fact that there’s always something new to learn about the next-generation GS:
Worth noting that Kanamori-san calls the GS the “core model in the Lexus sedan line-up”. By being the midsize sedan, this may be true in the purest sense, but then the GS has always shared its position with the ES — a model that has dominated Lexus sedan sales in North America for the past fifteen years.
It’s because of this that I find Kanamori-san’s statement so important — while I have my doubts that the ES will ever lose its position as the top selling sedan in the line-up, it’s clear that the GS has become the first (and best) example of a reinvented Lexus brand.
