Lexus GS Engines and Transmissions

A Lexus GS engine in this generation runs on gasoline, so you fill up at a regular pump and get a smoother, more responsive powertrain than a diesel. Transmission and drivetrain pairings still change by sedan version, so treat the named examples as a guide rather than the full lineup.
