But see...if they snow us with potential new cars, we'll forget.

V-12 LS650.

They have the money and resources. Hopefully they will put forth a real push on existing releases.
Time to bring back the Celica and Supra along with Lexus counterparts. Would love to see a GSF. Just not going to happen.

i'm very anxious to find out, but i guess only time will tell?

Indeed only time will tell, but I remain hopeful that the current crisis is not costing niche development projects. Lexus' parent company has an emergency fund worth billions which is meant for situations like the recall debacle and addressing the media circus. I hope that GS-F development is further along that considerations of delays are related primarily to quality testing, also market impact research, rather than diverting funds away from R&D.

BMW has the M5, Audi and the RS6, MB with the E63 AMG, Jag with the XF-R...

A sport/performance Lexus GS is indeed a welcome move in my book.

They basically are recycling the same news. They know nothing and then present a NEW photoshop which is OLD.

That article says the exact OPPOSITE of their heading. This is the craptastic journalism that is plaguing magazines that people read.

More of a chance of a GS-F than any V-8 Acura

Would you actually spring for a GS-F if it is put it into production? That's going to be a pretty fair number of $$$$$$$. My rough guess is probably 65 or 70K........perhaps more.

encore888

Realistically? No, at $80K+ (my guess) the GS-F will almost certainly be out of my price range. Although I am very much wanting to work my way up to the latest gen variants of LS line, my future Lexus aspirations are likely centered around their entry models. That being said, the GS-F is an aspirational model in the truest sense, one that imparts a sense of possibility to GS owners and Lexus owners at large. I am eagerly awaiting the 4GS and whatever variants come with it, the GS-F the most exciting of possible ones...

Honda is afraid to pull that trigger it seems.

pagemaster

I would say between $80k and $85k....The LS-f if we ever get one has to command $100k+

mmarshall

It's more stubborness than fear. Acura is convinced, right or wrong, that it doesn't need RWD and V8s........but that is another whole topic.

^^ yes, a whole other topic with acura


cant wait to see this GS-F

Vladi

If GS-F ever comes I wont be surprised if it ends up with 5.0 V8
Hopefully they put it on a carbon composite diet, that would be sweet

I just hope they do not kill the regular V8 GS in favor of GS-F. I would never want a car like GS-F - with low profile tires and stiff suspension they are just too punishing and not practical.

One reason why I think that they should develop a GS F is because the engine that they use in it (be it a FI V8 or V10) can be shared with quite a few models to amortize the cost.

The 500+hp engine can also be used in a next gen SC and an LS F (which would compete with the S63 AMG and the Audi S8).

That one engine could up Lexus's prestige greatly....

I would hope so too. But I don't think they would do that, because for one not everyone wants to drive a hybrid and secondly not everyone wants to spend $75+K for the GS-F.
