I expect the next LS to be starting in the mid 60s in pricing. I like Lexus cars, and they are good at what they aim for. However, I want to see how many sales Lexus can keep up once their pricing reaches that of MB and BMW.

I think the new gs is a great car in terms of looks and available equipment. I stated that “imho I think lexus went completely goofy on this” The word “this” was referring to price. Is all the new techno stuff good? Perhaps. Is the price premium lexus is charging for all of that equipment worth it? Personally, I think not. For those members who feel 63K on a GS with all options along with the same 300hp engine is worth the money, that’s fine go and buy one. The only thing that will be CRUSHED is your pocketbook
