I just realized, they literally have the GS sitting right next to the LC... It's as if these two are Lexus' best cars. And yet, there's no planned successor for both of them.
The irony is that Lexus began its decline after the discontinuation of the GS.
The GSF and the GS in general to me was a very important car, volume and the SUV market really was a factor there. They sell so many ES's to older demos and then prefer to sell SUVs is my guess as to the ending for the GS not making sense for Lexus at the time. I wouldve really loved a M5 higher F car competitor from Lexus.
Yup. The first Lexus LC mule was in fact a Lexus GS.
