Is there going to be a GS-F as well?

I wonder if the blizzard of S-Class tv ads is also taking a toll on the LS.

IS 300 weighed 3300lbs
Our GS 400 weighed 3700lbs
IS 350 weighs 3500lbs
3GS 430 weighs 3750lbs
Now
IS-F weighs 3700lbs
GS 450h weighs 4150 lbs (amazingly on par with V-8 competition)
GS 460 4000 lbs!!!
So any possible GS-F is 4150 lbs easy
Lexus vehicles used to be lightest or near lightest in class. They have gotten tons heavier in recent years.
I don't think the original LS engineer Mr. Suzuki would have allowed a 5000 lbs LS 600h L. He was hell bent on making a lightweight LS b/c he knew it effected fuel economy tons.

Pretty **** poor weight control on Lexus part, IMO.

GS450h AWD would bring same extra weight as does GS350 AWD to RWD.
Which means GS450h AWD would be faster and more frugal than GS350 AWD which I drive currently.
I would hit it.
edit: of course, I would get it with **** this time.
