My 2013 Fsport is an awesome daily and i cant find anything in the same class that i like tp replace her with. Id never go German for my daily. My current plan is to bring my 4GS to its original glory (some mechanical work/some body work/full detail) and get a C6 Corvette as my weekend warrior.

You already have one Lexus (which we all know by now isn't common in your country, as you say) so why would you get another one? Sure you can like it, but is it realistic to own and maintain with your village mechanic not having any knowledge of Lexus and very little time?
Instead of relying on CL to help guide you through a purchase and repairs, why not consider a car that is common in your country and a car your mechanic is familiar with?

and about my Car all of the issues was fixed from my village repair man, he replaced all of the adaptive suspention on my car, so he is really that good.
My mechanic have experience repairing japanese cars for the last 15-20 years. So i am pretty sure he will be able to handle it and i will be able to source parts from different locations and thats it.

I think about this a lot, honestly I have no clue. I think about getting a 21+ IS 350, do you guys think that it would be worth it at all if I intend to keep the GS 350 as well?

Recently bought a ‘02 SC430 as a fun summer drop-top. Would consider selling the ‘13 GS and replacing it with a second SC430 (preferably ’06 or newer). Same mpg’s but with a V8, more comfortable, and option to go from hardtop coupe to convertible in 30 seconds.
….if only I didn’t live where it snows half the year! Maybe need to consider an AWD LS instead.

I dont want another car. At ten years and 110k miles, my 2013 GS awd is amazing. I could drive it another decade at the rate I use it. It costs me nothing, never fails, and it's unique because of all of its little touches.
But at age 46 with no real need for a performance machine, I would probably buy 5-7 year old ES350. They are such a good deal esp w higher mileage.

i have driven q50 ,tlx, is,
audi s8 is good choise, probably m5 as well, and e53 amg, if we are not counting the astronomical maintenance cost from all of these i like s8 , is is way lower yes its faster car due to the engine but same can be said for GS F.
Do you consider gs -f an upgrade?

Latest Toyota Crown looks great and it have some nice touches and features simular to GS. 2.4 Turbo engine hybrid in paper it have same 0-60 like gs450h
around 5.9 seconds , so its low cost replacement ?
What do you think?
S235 it maximum level of equipment.

So I upgraded from a 2015 GS350 AWD to a 2016 GS F. While it’s still a GS, it’s night & day in terms of personality but also for the interior. I personally found it a huge upgrade since it checked every box for me (reliability as I’m in my 20s & maintenance fees are on my mind lol, performance on the street, NA V8, rarity, great daily for errands + backroad driving as I work remote). Honestly I considered other performance sedans C63s + M3 + IS500 (as someone tall I can’t fit comfortably in it) but IMO I love the GSF since it’s unique & an underrated drivers car. Lastly, I didn’t want to leave the 4GS platform
