Lexus Teases New Mystery Concept For Frankfurt And New GS 300h

Lexus will stage the world premiere of a new concept vehicle at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA).

Furthermore, Lexus will stage the European premiere of the first-ever GS 300h, featuring Lexus' highly efficient 2.5L hybrid powertrain. Positioned at the heart of the E-premium segment, the GS 300h combines low emissions and fuel consumption with a refined, comfortable drive, and returns a very low cost of ownership.

The Lexus press conference is scheduled Sep 10th at 13:00 CET on the Lexus stand, Hall 8, Frankfurt Messe. It will also feature a special appearance by the stars of the Lexus 'Steps' campaign. Until then, please find the latest information at www.lexus-int.com.

I like the pic.

I also like the idea of the GS 300h. I hope it comes to the US, although I think Lexus feels the ES has the lower mid-sized lux market covered in the US. (i.e. no GS competitors to the 528). I used to think Lexus's strategy was to position the IS and the ES as a dynamic duo of the entry level. They covered a broader spread of the market appealing to traditional luxury buyers and the sportier set. This was back when the C-Class was more luxury, and a 3 series was all sport. Now it seems that every entry level is chasing the same 3 series model, and the ES is being pushed upmarket, in size and price. Theefore we get no entry(ish) level GS, as the ES essentially fills that role.

I hope I'm wrong, and that Lexus sees fit to send the GS 300h over, I think it would sell quite well to a buyer quite different from the ES buyer.

Not digging it. Looks as if Nike had had something to do with the design.
