$80k base, +$5k~$8k options.
I hope it will be like the IS-F where demand was ultra low so dealer was unloading stock sitting on the lot for too long for $10k~$12k off MSRP

80k + 10k options sounds ok to me. 90k is still good 10k below competition.

That's what Lexus is about, offer the same or more, for slightly less money
I think loaded M5 and E63 are all $110k~$120k loaded now, they are getting fancy, the E63 have carbon brakes option

M5 ad E63 pricing is irrelevant. Lexus will take years to build their credibility.
A loaded XFR is $80k and that is the relevant benchmark.

Not really, if you don't think people cross shop high performance sport sedans you should see how people cross shop ISF/M3/C63.

Well if you compare volumes you may argue they priced themselves out.

How is a XFR relevant but a future GS F won't be? Lexus has tons of credibility in the IS F and LFA, which whoops any Germans *** around the Nurburgring.
All I know is, Lexus BETTER come with a GS F ......

Agreed^^ I honestly don't think Lexus will disappoint with the GS-F. I would be happy if they only offer it with 500hp.

Based on what exactly? Where is your good feeling coming from? I'm curious.

Based on their track record as of late, I'm fully expecting the GSF to pack a 4.6L V8 with 342HP. Why not just complete the carry-over from 3GS to 4GS by repositioning the GS 460 as the new GSF?
