    1326900600

    Given a moment's thought, it's a little surprising that Lexus, a luxury brand that changed the game, has never run an ad during the Super Bowl. But the home of L-Finesse not only has nine new or updated cars coming out this year, led by the 2013 GS, it has a new attitude, which will be ...

    1320260460

    Lexus pulled the sheets off of its 2013 GS 350 F Sport at SEMA 2011.

    Frankfurt: 2013 Lexus GS 450h does the electric slide
    1316021400

    What might the 2013 Lexus GS 450h add to the additional performance goodness delivered in the 2012 Lexus GS 350? More power and more fuel efficiency, for starters.

    Lexus design has never been very flashy, and many might say (including us) the automaker's entire current lineup is a bit bland-looking (LFA supercar excepted, natch).
