by Danny Green

Lexus is a division of the Japanese car brand Toyota, which is a popular name among leading luxury brands. Lexus are known to be very elegant and posh cars, and are sold all over the world in around 70 countries.

There are many different types of Lexus cars such as the sedan. This category includes the Lexus GS, which is a midsized luxury sports car. The first Lexus GS was introduced in 1993 and since then three different models of this brand have been introduced in the market.

The first generation GS was the first sports sedan with rear wheel drive. Later on, the second generation GS was launched, which had a new V8 version. The models now premiered are the third generation models, and Lexus has produced several of these since 1996.

The 2009 model is the recent one of the GS series. This model has been immensely popular since its launch. For the rich and affording part of the society, Lexus GS indeed is a status symbol. Numerous reasons are attached to its fame as a status symbol; one of these is that it is a luxury brand name of autos. Since it is famous as a luxury auto brand, people who own it, feel pride in having it, and referring it as an elevation of their social status. Apart from other reasons, it is a fact that not everyone can afford it, which makes Lexus more exclusive. Lexus is not only known as a symbol of pride for its high price tag, but the quality factor also counts a lot.

There are two main models of the Lexus GS in use today. The first is the Lexus GS 460, which has 8-speed automation transmission delivering superb performance along with fuel efficiency. The car has a dual engineering system, which gives it brilliant handling and security. There are many innovative security systems in the car such as Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management System (VDIM), Intuitive Park Assist (IPA) and Pre-Collision System (PCS).

The pre-collision system detects a likely collision with the help of the sensors, which retracts the seat belts activating the brakes. The car also has automatic brakes, which make it easier to manage on the road. The GS has water repellent windows and rain sensing wipers to provide a safe driving experience during bad weather. Without the power key inserted, one cannot start the car due to its superb theft defiant engine.

Because of the increasing awareness about global warming, the new hybrid version of the GS has been launched, which is known as the GS 450 H. These hybrid cars are environment friendly, as they have low emission, as they emit a low level of toxic gases, and are the only mass-produced luxury hybrid cars in the world.

Hence, it can be easily said that the Lexus GS is not only an embodiment of status symbol owing to its brand name, the car also provides excelling performance and standard that has made it so famous. Even the hybrid versions do not fall behind on quality while being eco friendly.
