The worst thing about this car is the CVT transmission. I'll rather wait for the Infiniti M35 Hybrid, which comes with a proper 7 speed transmission, lithium Ion batteries, and one electric motor adding another 60 hp to the 3.5 litter 300 hp gasoline engine.
Beware! Measurements in my 2007 GS450h indicate up to 100 milligauss (mG) of electromagnetic field radiation (EMF)!! With proper shielding this is correctable. Toyotas position: this car meets federal regulations. This may be true, it seems there are NO regulations re EMF emissions in hybrids. We have seen Toyotas problems re customer safety---this car's EMF issue is still not addressed to my knowledge. (Also see reports of high emf emissions in the backseat floor area of some Prius models).
@jdilello I just purchased a 2007 GS450H on 8/16/2010. I had to stop driving the car because whenever I drive it, my feet, ankles, legs, hands, torso, and face starts tingling. Feels like I am being shocked or something. Gas cars are not problem. I learned that this car emits high levels of EMFs; I must be sensitive. Took my car to the Lexus dealer today, and they claim they can't find anything wrong and have NEVER heard of this before. What can I do to get the proper shielding?
@Mattixxg oh gawd. you and your fucking idiotic conspiracy theories. Go blow your brains out you ass fucked weak metrosexual.
You NEED to over pay for an import because you have a flawed perception of yourself, hoping people think more of you because you drive one Go waste your money moron, and thank for contributing to our massive trade deficit.
did it ever occur to you that some people dont like the aesthetic design of US cars?
And what the hell did u get the metrosexual stuff from lol..and you say IM out there.
I pay for QUALITY. Im not sure what you pay for. Dont care either. But i buy and drive whatever I wish. And..my $ wasnt wasted, in fact it actually paid for itself.
Oh as far as our deficit, you can thank AMERICAN BANKS for that dumbass.
@Mattixxg I have OCD so I constantly test drive ALL cars on the market. I must say I prefer foreign autos, especially German. American cars, especially luxury ones, are ostentatious and gaudy. I was considering a Navigator for awhile, but couldn't get past the chromefest and wheels that looked like they were made of cheap shiny plastic. Cadillac wants to stand out by making their cars pointy and obnoxious looking. There's a reason sophisticated people and smart money buy foreign.
@Headshot426 You want someone to commit suicide because they don't like American cars? That's really sick of you. If you look at reviews for Lincoln you'll find they are overpriced Fords. If you test drove all makes and models with and open mind you wouldn't have such a narrow minded conclusion. Trade deficit? You know most Japanese cars are built in the US and most US cars are built in Mexico, right? Your red neck agenda explains the voting practices of the Republican base.
@ChocolatePoop1301 Clearly the effects from all the kool-aid you've been drinking has not worn off. Typical lib-tard import fanboy. 85% of domestic brands are manufactured here in the U.S. 40% japanese. You contribute shit to the economy and this country. Don't look around and wonder why you're out of a job. It all trickles down.
I'm not even conservative. btw, most auto workers are liberal, except in the south; where they build all your runaway toyotas.
@Headshot426 keep buying inferior products and thinking that it makes you patriotic. Your "contribution" is futile and meaningless. People vote with their wallets and they consistently choose the superior products. I have test driven almost every make and model and there is a reason people buy less American cars. You're a miserable, bible thumping, redneck white male fueled by angst and fear. Fear of Japanese cars, terrorists, Mexicans, and anything that isn't part of your redneck agenda.
@ChocolatePoop1301 Its ignorant decisions by selfish people like yourself that have destroyed this country's manufacturing base. Our politicians are too crooked and greedy to do anything about it, our consumers are too ignorant to realize their impact.
Thats why this country is going straight down the shitter. Oh and your political correctness, everyone deserves a house, and free healthcare agenas don't help either.
@Headshot426 The only ignorance comes from uneducated blue collar trash like yourself. What do you have, a High School Diploma? If you really wanted to "support the economy" you would make yourself useful and get AT LEAST a BA. If you died today you'd easily be replaced by a mexican or another generic redneck. How have I been PC? Most of what I've said is the opposite of PC. No one "deserves a house" and universal healthcare is in every other DEVELOPED country. You are definitely conservative.
@ChocolatePoop1301 I'm a portfolio manager shmuck. My 15 years professional experience in capital markets and MBA more than qualifies me to school your dumb ass on a little lesson in economics.
You are the A-typical moron that buys foreign, and kills this nations manufacturing base. Buy american numbnuts, and maybe..maybe we'll have the tax revenue to support all your programs.
@Headshot426 A-typical? You mean atypical? Still wouldn't make sense. No wonder American Wall Street is ruining this country (and the world). School me in economics? Perhaps you should retire. Most nations don't produce automobiles but the only driver of our economy you seem to care for is cars. If every American bought only American cars this country would still be going down the shit hole and "A-typical" idiots such as yourself would continue to make excuses and point fingers.
@ChocolatePoop1301 You didn't pick up on the A. You know buddy, I agree that wall street is destroying this country. I'm a fixed income guy, but it is wall streets demand for companys to source from low-cost countries in order to receive a "buy" rating is absolutely destroying this country.
Trade deficits/ abusive printing has destroyed the dollar. We borrow from China/Japan just to get our money back into this country. Weak dollar = high oil/commodities. Thats how you fuck everyone.
@Headshot426 You are making case put forth by movings such as "Money Masters" and "From Freedom to Facism, which I don't disagree with. Blaming it myself buying an M3 (or wanting to) is silly.
major flaw on this car is the runflat tires!!! I hate them! Even tho they r zrated, hey can't handle much! They r very very fragile! I went through 7 tires in th last 14mos! My god! And those run 500 a pop! I finally got a clue and put on some Yokohama tires. I'm screwed if I get a flat,...but,..wd still save $ even if I got a tow, and a hotel! And I now enjoy the stiff bumpy ride I have! It's more racy! ;)))
Lexus is definitely not a Hollywood Hippie style, fabulous car, whose only focus is grab people's attention. W/ little substance underneath the surface.
Lexus is a more gear toward sophisticated person's car.
They are actually pretty affordable i just bought mine today 2007 model for $41,500 drive out with 25k miles. The hard part is finding one of these bad boys for sale. no one seems to want to sell these once they buy it.
Too bad its only true competitor isn't available here, the Mercedes E420 CDI.
With Infiniti rumored to be getting a diesel M in a year or two and Mercedes/BMW planning performance diesels, it will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
well i think only one of the electric motors actually moves the car. the other one is there to run all the cars electronics and stuff. i may be wrong however.
This Lexus GS Hybrid is a great car. Besides the rear shape, this is a good looking car, depending on what color you get and the poisition you view it. The interior is out standing, especially in this color. With an electric motor, the power is avaliable to you almost immediately. With 80% fewer smog related emissions, this GS450H is good for the environment and our health.

2000 accidents and 20 American lives are now gone because a Japanese company cared more about hiding the defect than warning drivers.
Shame on them for blaming the floor mats instead of warning their "valued" customers that their lives are at stake.
They lost my business forever. I believe our domestic manufacturers would've come clean immediately. Terrible
