Just take a look at this link to this collection of travel stories from GS Chief Engineer Yoshihiko Kanamori, which is currently featured on the Lexus Global website.
Around the World with the New Lexus GS
Test drives are a standard part of the car development process, and it's customary to evaluate a vehicle's performance on familiar test tracks under controlled conditions. But for the new Lexus GS, the engineering team also wanted to see how the vehicle would perform on real roads, driven the way that real people like to drive. And so the Team GS global staff visited more than twenty countries - in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America - to test and fine-tune the new GS in as many diverse driving environments as possible. Along the way they learned quite a few things that improved the performance of the GS.
Here Yoshihiko Kanamori, the Chief Engineer of the new GS, shares a few of the experiences that he and his test teams encountered in their round-the-world travels, and conveys some of the passion that drove the creation of this new grand touring sedan.
