I replaced a 2007 Acura TSX with this car. Today I bring a full report in the first 12 months of ownership and 21,000 miles. And for those of you that actually read descriptions... here is what Wikipedia says about the Second generation Lexus GS (edited for conciseness): In August 1997, the second generation Toyota Aristo was launched in Japan, codenamed JZS160 (S300 version) for models with 2JZ-GE engines and JZS161 (V300 version) for those with 2JZ-GTE twin-turbocharged engines, remaining exclusive to the former Auto Store network that was combined with Vista Store and renamed Toyota Netz Store Japanese dealerships. VVT-i was now standard, resulting in an increase of torque. The twin-turbocharged version was available with electronic four-wheel steering, VSC electronic stability control and an automatic transmission with a manual sequential mode. The second generation sedans used a new front-engine, rear-wheel drive midsize platform, also featured in the Japanese-market Toyota Crown (...) For export markets, the second generation GS began production in the JZS161 body style on 4 August 1997 and was officially launched in October 1997. Lexus offered the GS 300 once again and featured a slightly revised version of the previous generation's 3.0-liter straight-six now producing 168 kW (225 hp) and 305 N⋅m (225 lb⋅ft) (...) As with the S140 series, no turbocharged variants were offered outside Japan. Toyota Aristo (Japan) 2000–2005 A facelift in 2000, for the 2001 model year was the only major design change of the second generation GS. There was a slightly revised grille, revised tail lights, and subtly tinted headlamps on the front end. Xenon headlamps became standard equipment with the V8 engine and optional on six-cylinder cars. More interior wood trim was added, and steering wheel shift buttons were added to the GS 300. SportDesign package For the 2002 model year, Lexus offered a limited production GS 300 "SportDesign" package for North Americathis performance/trim package offered the GS 300 the same firmly-tuned suspension and "L-tuned" steering ECU module that were both standard equipment on the GS 430, along with a rear lip spoiler and polished alloy wheels. The SportDesign trim package was offered from the 2002 through 2003 model years.
