The GS460 inspires brand loyalty, and it's not unusual to have a buyer purchase Lexuss year after year
Under the Hood
Standard equipment in the GS460 for 2007 and 2008 includes the 4.6 liter engine by Toyota, weighing in at 8 cylinders and thirty two valves. A 8-speed Automatic Transmission puts the power of the engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Sedan arena.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The GS460 comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.
