The implementation of VGRS and AVS, however, leaves much to be desired. It feels like technology for technology's sake and they were rushed to production before they were perfected. These systems, being as complex (and expensive to replace) as they are, achieved neither the comfortable ride nor the sporty handing that they could have offered, in my opinion.

Lexus could have made the GS a masterclass in chassis engineering with these systems, but alas.

In normal driving mode, the steering has too much turn lock-to-lock. Great for the motorway but not so much for twisty country roads. Yes, flick the Sport button on and the steering tightens, but so do the dampers, and the car becomes comically stiff.

 

Just drove a CT200h as a courtesy car the other day and all is forgiven!

Apologies for bumping an old post, but seriously, why is the CT200h so stiffly sprung??

Sports suspension and low profile tyres do not help Ganesh.
