The 4th gen GS's interior still looks so good today.

After owning my 98' gs400 for 12 years now, still love the looks & driving it. Being in car sales business for 8 years & driving just about everything out there, there isn't anything quite like my gs. Good video, thanks.

i can never get enough of watching youtube vids that tell the story of the Lexus GS ever since I brought that '16 GS F last year, watch Meyn Motor Group's multiple lexus GS videos and Kirk Kreifel's story on the GS now im watching yours. 😅

The first gen GS will forever be one of my favorite cars. First time I saw one I was as a kid in Saudi Arabia. I was at a friends house with my parents. My friend and I went outside and there was a metallic red GS300 parked in the driveway. I was like what is this!? Later when everyone was leaving my dad and I talked to the guy who had just bought it. He complained that it was slow but I didn’t care. I was too busy watching the dash light up and the steering wheel automatically tilt. My dad had a W124 300E at the time in a similar red color. I love W124s but the GS looked like the ultimate step up to me.

2013 GS350, keeper.

Never have I ever clicked on a video so fast. After owning a 2001 black on black interior gs300 in mint condition for 4 years, my love and passion for Lexus and Toyota grew 10 fold.

The GS line was beyond slept on and I'll always love it more than the IS. Once I get the money the final 2020 GSF will be mine.

The 3rd gen's design is timeless, especially post face-lifted models. I owned a 2008 GS for 2 years before selling it due to mechanical issues. I now own a 2019 RC. The RC is great, but doesn't give me the same luxury feel as the GS did. The GS had many features that my RC does not, even for its age. The only downside I saw with my GS was the old navigation graphics.
