RIP: Lexus GS dead after 2020

Friday, Lexus unveiled the GS 350 F Sport, calling it the “best ever” GS. Unfortunately, after hitting that high watermark Lexus has decided to retire the entire GS lineup, citing, you guessed it, flagging sedan sales.

Lexus announced that after production ends in August, no more GS vehicles will be built, and that includes the GS F Performance sedans, like the best-ever 350 F Sport, according to Autoblog.

A particularly interesting nugget:

Toyota apparently wanted to kill the line after the second generation, but it held on thanks to Lexus executives. But it takes more than starry-eyed CEOs to make a car line last.

Arguably, this was the best looking Lexus sedan by a mile for years now. Sucks that it's gone.
