And eventually, I would like to see all models with a F model.

I would really Like Lexus to do what Audi does, offer S and RS models.

But "h" and "F" models of each car. That would be superb.
I concur 100%.

haha, i think i'm the first to vote for the LS-F. I don't know, I guess I just have a fascination with big high powered luxo sedans (i.e. Audi S8, AMG S55).

Honestly, I want to see a V12 biturbo LS-F.

Lexus isnt a true player yet if they dont have a V12 luxo limo.

GS-F, and then an SC-F. Also would like to see an F version of the upcoming IS Coupe. As for an "F" version of the LS, I'm not so sure that would work well.

GS-F and then SC-F. The LS-F can wait, since the 600H is coming soon.

ES-F ALL THE WAY! It's a win-win for Toyota! One hand it can better differentiate the ES from Buick, on the other hand old people should be granted the right to have some fun from time to time, too!

What? You are saying Toyota can not build some FWD car that can compete with Honda's TL-Type S? No Way!

Is the -F more along the lines like AMG or //M? If it were more like AMG, I wouldn't mind it on all models, if it were more like the //M series, then I would only like to see it on certain cars, such as the GS/SC and not SUVs and the ES/LS.

They certainly can, the new Camry proves that. But note that Acura is rumoured to be using SH-AWD in their next TL. Due out a year after the new Accord which should arrive this fall. Putting down over 300 hp in a FWD sedan = lots of torque steer.

SC-F would be for next gen SC... So I would pick LS... but then again, LS600h is coming too....

so it is between LS-F and GS-F....

I dont really care, wouldnt buy either.... h versions are tempting though
