The GS looks particularly tacky and ghetto, as if the factory ran out of paint.

I find the GS-F to be just an Ugly car overall. I don't see any improvement here.

Whether people like it or not, this is what adds to Lexus's and F brand heritage. Very unique and should be sought after years from now

I prefer this over the usual blue contrast stitching. The color combination complements the car's inherent idiosyncrasy very well, though I'm not sure about the blue carbon inserts.

Special editions are littered throughout M and AMG history. You don't have to like it.

It's the one GS F with mirrors that match the paint of the car.

Very good points, some people seem to lose sight of that. Can't tell you many tacky editions of AMG have been made the past 50 years. BMW Individual has been guilty of certain colour choices for past BMW M models, in an effort to maintain "uniqueness".
