I know. That's why I said GS350. You can get the adaptive suspension ie Sport + on the luxury package, sans rear active steer. Either way it wouldn't have won, we all know C&D and their bias towards German makes

On paper the A6 should've won, but it's good to see the one that's the most fun to drive wins in the end.

Well done Lexus, but a GS-F is still needed to compete with the Germans.

Congrats to thge Lexus GS. It is really nice to see the GS compared to the correct peers (none of this Hyundau compare) and it is great to see it land #1.

Well done!

And that's only because it wasn't a 3 way with a bimmer cause we know who would have won. LOL

Otherwise a great win for Lexus! Just keep it up to date over it's life cycle and it'll continue to lead it's class for years to come!

Just read the comments in the MT article... So many Audi fanbois with their panties in a twist. LOL "I haven't driven the GS but the order should be..."
