Since 1991, the Lexus GS has sat underneath the LS, and is the brand’s mid-size sedan in a field that includes the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5-Series and Audi A6.
Initially the GS was sold in its homeland as the Toyota Aristo. The first generation car was styled by Italdesign Giugiaro and bears many visual similarities with the Daewoo Leganza, also styled by Giugiaro.
All bar the current L10 model featured styling which was a variation on that initial theme.
