Lexus: GS News

The Japanese just cannot compete in the mid sized luxury car market. The GS was almost as pathetic as the RLX. Boring looks. Outdated tech (was that a CD player I saw in the picture?). The GS is just a gussied up Avalon same with the RLX being a gussied up Accord. Not even sure Infiniti has a mid sized luxury sedan anymore. The only non European making anything decent in that market is Hyundai with its Genesis line.
Nissan still have the JDM versions of Q70 for their home market, but those are no longer available here.

Lexus discontinued the GS sedan a little over a year ago but according to the brand’s latest sales report, someone in the United States bought a brand new GS earlier this year. Whether that was a V8-powered F-spec model or not - it’s hard to tell, but it seems that there might be a successor for the once-popular premium sedan. Not exactly what we were hoping for but still an intriguing option.
According to Drive, Lexus could fill the void in its model range left by the GS with a new sedan based on the Toyota Mirai. Yes, this means, if the information is correct, we might get a hydrogen-powered luxury sedan from Lexus based on the technologies found in the Mirai. Nothing is official, obviously, but the report is based on a now-deleted Instagram post featuring a leaked product plan of the marque.
Drive explains the new product might get a different name and it could be launched as an indirect replacement for the GS in Asia and North America. The Mirai is currently produced on the same assembly lines where the Toyota Crown, a luxury vehicle for Japan, is assembled. The Crown, meanwhile, has usually shared many components with the GS while the latter was still on sale.
According to the leaked product plan, Lexus should unveil the GS successor at some point next year. If all of this is true, we should start seeing spy photos and teasers in the months before the year’s end.
As far as the Mirai is concerned, it’s currently relatively affordable to buy and comes with an EPA-rated range of up to 402 miles per fill-up. The peak output of 182 horsepower and 221 pound-feet is not exactly exciting but it’s still enough for a 0-60 miles per hour (0-100 kilometers per hour) acceleration in 9.2 seconds.

Not sure why new posts aren't showing up. I'm stuck on pg 40 & unable to go to pg 41. Not sure if it's just me.
I put a thread in the support section.
Edit: And now I'm seeing the last page. Odd behavior. Posts 1001 to current were on a page I couldn't access.

Yeah I couldn't see page 26 (post #1001 on) unless I clicked Go Advanced. Once I posted something, page 26 started to load. It happens every now and then with random threads.

Had to post 3 times before it brought me onto page 40 (I have my settings on the lowest posts/pg).
Haven't seen this behavior in a while, no idea what causes it. But it's random, but usually on the same thread(s), none of which I can recall at the moment.
