| Contrà´le technique |
Last year, a new V-6 GS 350 model and some new technology features spiced up the Lexux GS line of mid-size sport sedans for 2007. Now the 2008 Lexus GS receives an upgrade with a new 342-horsepower, 4.6-liter V-8 and eight-speed automatic transmission, as the GS 460 replaces last year’s 290-horsepower GS 430. The GS 350 remains available with all-wheel drive, while both models otherwise get rear-wheel drive. The lineup fills out with the more responsible 2008 Lexus GS 450h hybrid, which is covered in a separate review. For 2008, the GS models pick up a slightly restyled front end, integrated side-mirror turn signals, and new wheel designs.
