Lexus GS 200t News

We last wrote about the Lexus GS one year ago to editorialize about the rumored death of the luxury brand's sports sedan. Now, Dutch outlet AutoRAI claims to have gotten confirmation from Lexus Europe that the automaker stopped taking orders for the GS in March, and will cease production of the Euro-spec model in April. In keeping with last year's speculation, AutoRAI reports the next-generation, front-wheel-drive ES will fill the role of the rear-wheel-drive GS there.

Really, the ES is as good or better in almost every aspect.

We test the 2016 Lexus GS 200t sedan and find that it's a nice enough luxury sedan, but driving enthusiasts will definitely want to stick with the GS 350 and its more powerful V6 engine.

The Lexus GS gets a number of enhancements for the 2016 model year, including a turbocharged 200t model. The updated sedan debuts in California as part of Monterey Car Week.
