Lexus GS Sedan Not Going Anywhere, Will Continue Sales in North America

Posted by Kevin on June 12th, 2018

Lexus will continue to sell the GS sports sedan in North America for the foreseeable future, as confirmed with both Lexus USA and Lexus Canada.

“The Lexus GS has been an important part of the Lexus line-up since 1993 and we value its role as a sports sedan,” Lexus USA spokesperson Ed Hellwig explained over email. “We will continue to offer the GS in the United States, and will evaluate how best to meet our customers’ needs going forward.”

The future of the GS sports sedan was called into question recently when Lexus Europe discontinued the model due to new emission regulations. It will be replaced in the region by the new seventh-generation ES sedan.

Despite the promise of continued sales, there is no guarantee the GS will see a next-generation model. Lexus would not comment on future product plans.

Hey all, sorry for bumping this thread. Like many of you guys I am quite worried in regards to the future of the GS. Is there ANY new news about it? I've searched everything including the program that the GS will be developed under but found nothing. I just don't want the GS to go. :pensive:

The GM at my Lexus dealership says that the word is not good for the future of the GS; they are looking elsewhere. vague, but the message is clear

It is sad. I love my GS (wish it was the GSF...) it has its faults but if it could be anything like the new LS it would be so sick. I’m still hopeful but idk...

Then if that's the case...... what is the point of the 300B program then? What always agitates me is that why are Toyota/Lexus so tight lipped about everything? Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Jaguar, Volvo. All of these are examples of companies who don't leave their fans/potential buyers in the dark in regards to their future products. I don't know about you guys, but this behavior from Toyota/Lexus has always made me want to look at other manufacturers. That being said, I am one MASSIVE supporter of Lexus/Toyota. What are they going to lose if they tell us about whats coming, or show some teasers to us?

EDIT: I really want a new GS. I would definitely purchase one if they actually put effort and bring it more to the spotlight. I think the problem is the dealers. Many of you guys have mentioned that dealers have pulled many GS buyers and slapped them into an ES. On this side I don't blame Lexus here. It is the fault of the dealers.

I wholeheartedly agree with that. I have reason to believe that they are fine with us waiting because we waited so many times before, and we always made do with what they came out with because we loved how they were reliable, dependable and safe. Nothing else. Now that we want better things in our Toyota/Lexus vehicles it will take them forever to do it because they are scared for the lack of sales if they poorly execute it. They don't release new cars because of buyers demand (only examples I can currently think of is the new Toyota Supra and the addition of ACP), they only do when they are forced to (ie. if they start to lose money). Like many people in this forum have said, bean counters (while they are a very nice thing for the company and always took care of finances) are the bane of Toyota/Lexus.

EDIT: I digressed, if anyone has new info on the GS, please shed some light :sob:

Come on Lexus you have promised new models and so far really nothing just a few updates and new bumpers etc.
The front of this GS rendering to my conservative mind is just too much so if this is the model to come i personally hope they tone it down.
Toyota Avalon already launched why the delay then in the ES? It is really due for an update and the replacement for the Ct is this fact or fiction?

IMO, artist has nailed the latest Lexus design ethos on its head with this rendering! Hopefully the next GS doesn’t alienate trad Lexus buyers who like to prioritize understated luxury, refinement and elegance over sportiness and brash expressions of aggression. Lol!
