i'll believe it when i see it...but if it is true, gosh, how many of us are gonna upgrade to a GS-F?

I would assume not too many, since the GS-F will be in the $80,000 range.

the GS-f has some big shoes to fill.

i would only consider the GSF if it outhandled the M5.

but from the looks of all lexus past, i'm gonna say it's gonna be like a mustang- fast straight line, crappy handling.

I am not sure about that, the IS-F handles pretty nice, but the ride is back breaking. Expect the GS-F to be a little softer than the IS-F.

i'm usually realistic and pessimistic.

so if lexus fcks up big time, it won't be such a big letdown.

i am neither happy nor sad about my lexus. it's just a car.

Seriously, if Lexus takes the same philosophy in designing the IS-F and carry it over to the GS-F, they might have something there.
