In the past couple of months there's been some interesting rumors swirling around Toyota's luxury division, Lexus. That's because the GS sedan has been having a bit of a rough go.
If the latest rumors are to be given any credence, it seems as though two things are going to happen.

Of course this is a blow to those who care about performance. The current-gen GS was given a rear-wheel drive option and the ES is setup to send power to the front wheels.
