Inside, the GS has a curvier, more cockpit-like theme than the comfort-oriented ES and LS models, with an overall feel that's a little more European inspired. A wide center console helps create that feel, while more strongly hooded instruments and a more sculpted dash. The clean look of the instrument panel overall is surprising in a tech-focused luxury car—it's made possible by keeping seldom-used controls out of the way in a drawer.
But the materials aren't totally on board with the GS's tech-laden sport-sedan mission; they keep with Lexus tradition and are somewhat conservative in appearance, with a new brushed-aluminum shift plate and dark gray bird's-eye maple wood.
Conclusion
The 2011 Lexus GS models are smooth and handsome, if not daring, and their interiors don't always match its sport-sedan mission.
