2013 Lexus GS350 F Sport
2013 Lexus GS350 F Sport - Lexus wants us to believe that the 2013 GS is a different car from its predecessor—an evolved car, a bona fide sports sedan. As we poked, prodded, and drove the new GS350 and GS350 F Sport, we felt a bit like a parole officer trying to discern if our charge had truly changed its ways. Is the GS still an offender?
The 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport's ferocious "spindle grille" snout prior to its test session at the track, and after a silence, he said in a James Earl Jones baritone: "Luke" -- followed by a heaving exhalation -- "I am your father." That sizzling sound you hear is the F Sport/Lord Vader association being branded onto my brain.
2013 Lexus GS 350
2013 Lexus GS 350 - The all-new GS was engineered from the ground up to provide performance and handling that invigorates, next-generation technology that empowers you to do more and unforgettable styling inside and out. From this car forward, Lexus will never be the same. We get our first look at a totally uncamo'd version of the new Lexus mid-sizer.
The new GS350, the fourth generation of the company’s mid-range sedan, will be the standard-bearer of Lexus’s new, more “passionate” approach to the premium-car market. Our first driving experience in camouflaged examples of the car, in both standard and F-Sport versions, bear out that oft-repeated passion claim.

2012 New BMW 6-Series convertible
2012 New BMW 6-Series convertible - Launched in convertible format initially, the new 6-Series is certainly less controversial in the styling stakes: less of a bustled rump and a smoother, sharper profile. Certainly in the pictures I saw before coming out, and on the stand at the Paris show, I was keen.
Still, a 407bhp, 442lb ft 650i V8 should sort that, right? Well, again, not quite. The 650 weighs over two tonnes, so despite having plenty of get-up-n-go from the motor, the Six never really feels quite as fast as the figures suggest - five seconds to 60mph is respectable, but the car feels like a cruiser from the off.
It's also a tad firm on anything other than smooth roads - very German - and the active steering is about as tactile as remote surgery. I've got an eight-hour odyssey of driving tomorrow, so there's more to come, but first impressions are that there are no surprises here.
2012 Lexus LFA Review
2012 Lexus LFA Review - Lexus LFA is an awe-worthy piece of Japanese sports car. Only 500 of these mid-engines cars are to be hand-assembled by accomplished automotive craftsmen in Japan
The engine output from the 4.8 liter 10-cylinder power plant is home to 562 total horses. There’s something slightly weird about this scene. We are about to drive the daunting 12.9-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife track in Germany. In a Lexus. Okay, it’s the exotic LFA, a Ferrari-fighting supercar that will cost about $350,000. But the company built its reputation on smooth, refined, and perfectly nerve-calming cars, so why does the LFA exist? In what parallel universe is this thing remotely Lexus-like?
