While I'm fully aware that the ES is their bread and butter midsize car, it does not compete with the A6/5er/E or XF. Different types of cars for different buyers. That is why there will always be a lane for the GS and why it's so critical for it to succeed for Lexus to re-establish itself in the premium luxury segment. Lexus created this "problem" for itself when it developed the highly successful ES. The GS somewhat lurks in its shadow while searching for an identity. Perhaps Lexus could use this conundrum to stylize the GS as it's CLS. They've created a very unique scenario with their 2 midsize cars. The GS traditionally has had smaller dimensions to compliment its sportier design....Why not just go all out and make that their CLS fighter? Let's be honest what do they have to lose? They wouldn't really be alienating current GS owners, if anything, I think most owners would welcome it. Never mind all of the Euro and converts they would get. Just sayin' I am curious as to what GS owners would say.

I totally agree...Except I have a hard time believing that line from Lexus corporate stating that the GS was on the verge of being canned. Sounds like a way to create buzz or just make a statement just for the sake of making a statement. Maybe it's all smoke and mirrors. But I find it strange that Lexus would even consider scrapping the GS which though may not sell in huge numbers every year, it is still a necessary car for them. They MUST have an executive class/sports sedan in order to compete with the Germans and their offerings.
