A shame Europe won’t get any Crown. As for the sedan, in the US it will get ridiculed without v6.

No, it just won't sell; RWD mid-size sedans, especially from mass-market brands, do not sell (even FWD sedans won't sell).

All the more reason for Lexus to come back with the GS.
That makes no sense. Bring back to market a model that no longer sells?

If (RWD) mid-size sedans ever sell in large numbers again (in great enough volume to persuade Toyota to re-introduce such a model in North America), it will be years. Someone, somehow, must persuade all the buyers who migrated to crossovers and SUVs back to sedans.

How does it not make any sense? It may not make sense to do that for a Toyota, but for a Lexus where you can have greater profit margins? Absolutely yes.

The 4GS had a lot of potential but Lexus barely even advertised the car. Had they actually bothered marketing the GS it would fare much better.

Only Mercedes E and BMW 5 sell yet ok. Skoda Superb Wagon as the cheaper alternative, and ES as the reliable and economic long term alternative.

Audi? They have the upcoming A6 e-Tron, and A7 Sedan in 2 years replacing the ICE A6.

Genesis also has their G80 and G80 Electrified, which is selling quite well and is reportedly the reason the G70 is being canned.

  • Reaching for new value as the "new formal"
  • Excellent ride comfort and a high-quality driving experience serving both personal and business purposes
  • Rear seat space meeting the needs of chauffeured cars. A long wheelbase and wide body create spacious seating and outstanding ease of entry and exit.
  • An interior playing to mature sensitivities, including a spacious cabin and soothing indirect lighting.
  • Contributing to the realization of carbon neutrality
  • The FCEV, a Crown first, gives customers more options to meet diverse needs
  • The HEV is equipped with a 2.5-liter multi-stage hybrid system, achieving both powerful dynamic performance and fuel efficiency
