Lexus is renowned, not only in SG but all over the world, for its dependability. Also, you may not know that the Germans are famed for their driveability and technology but not for their cost of maintenance and durability. It's ok, you don't sound like you are a car guy so it's understandable you dont know all these. Just like how I won't know which refrigerator brand is better if I needed to buy one. 😉 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks good in the right colours, drives well, adequately powerful, smooth and quiet, very economical, enough passenger space for a small family...BUT...its got a tiny boot. So if boot space is important to you, then the UX is no go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if the stock caliper can pair with an upsized rotor. our front is 334mm, Rear 310mm 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toeknee_33 Turbocharged December 16, 2019 Share December 16, 2019 Contrary to news that the 4GS will die without a replacement, there are rumours that the Lexus GS will be reinvented as a swoopy 4-door coupe akin to a MB CLS/Audi A7. That is good news for enthusiasts who still insist on a RWD-platform, and/or find the ES too mundane. Actually Toyota/Lexus always twinned the GS with the Toyota Crown since Day 1, sharing the drivetrain and many parts. Since the 15G Crown is already available since 2018 running on the TNGA-C RWD platform, it is indeed possible that there could be a 5GS. Hope to see one. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
