A diesel GS for Europe is a good idea if they want to sell more GS's there . . .

With the price of diesel lately, highly unlikely. The focus is on hybrids for sure.

but the mileage is way higher, so it evens out, or comes out ahead


320d would be horrible for a GS though. it would be slow..... like someone said- "Granny Slow"

If Lexus ever comes out with a GS with diesel, I hope it will be an VAG diesel or a "really" Lexus engine. The diesel in the IS is a Toyota engine, that should have 177PS/400Nm - but rarely does. This engine is not enough even for the IS.

No auto for this engine, so you really have to play with the shifter a lot...

according to the lexus uk site, the diesel gets 50% more mileage.
44 mpg vs 29mpg for the 250
i don't know if that's imperial or not. but the gain is a lot.
