Overview
2008 Lexus GS 460 Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
Slotting between the flagship LS 460 and the popular ES 350, the mid-size Lexus GS line occupies an admittedly modest but still notable niche in the sport sedan segment. Intertwining aggressive styling and formidable performance with typical Lexus luxury cues, it gives Toyota's premium division a very credible competitor in an arena most often associated with German offerings, including the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class. In addition to offering the only hybrid in this segment, the GS 450h (reviewed separately), the GS lineup consists of three gasoline-powered variants. The rear-drive GS 350 and all-wheel-drive GS 350 AWD share a common 3.5-liter V6 while the rear-drive V8 model moves from its previous GS 430 designation to new GS 460 badging for 2008, to reflect its upgrade to a larger and more powerful engine.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
Those demanding a vehicle that offers sporting character infused with loads of luxury touches will find the entire GS family, but particularly the new GS 460, more than capable of satisfying their multi-dimensional appetites. For some, any proper sport sedan still must come with a German pedigree -- or at least with a manual transmission. For those folks, the GS in any guise will likely not pass muster.
What's Significant about this Car?
The biggest news here is that the GS 460 replaces the GS 430 as the top entry in the GS lineup, bringing more power and enhanced luxury. Exterior changes to all models include revamps to the front fascia, wheel design and color choices, while the interiors feature new instrument graphics and accent bits, a broader array of wood trims and UV and infrared-reducing tinted glass.
