They should make the GSF look more like the RCF/IS-F with the grill and exhaust tips. I'd be happy with anything over 420hp. I'm not worried about specs with the Germans, I want something fun to drive and a lot faster than the current GS-F. The GS is already better than the BMW/MB so a 20%+ faster version would be awesome!

Without a doubt. If they'll put it in the IS F-Sport, it's going in the GS-F. They'd be idiots to leave it out.

Or the double stack dash. That thing is an abomination to my eyes.

If you haven't joined the FB group here is the link…

I really find myself thinking about "what if's" more and more with the GS F. The more I drive our GS F-sport and the more I drive cars with higher HP levels the desire for this possibility grows with each day.

There are some used M5s in a nicer price range right now and I know the car hasn't gotten great reviews for its handling but I could care less, I love how it looks, its rare, you can get red leather and it has heritage and a beast of an engine.

This is where Lexus moving slower than the competition is frustrating if you are aware of cars that maybe coming…Look at how Mercedes has a new CLA and CLA 45 (not a competitor) seemingly out of nowhere.

I'm told its coming…but geez when?

Childish steering wheel? I have both cars and the IS steering wheel feels better in my hands.

My lexus dealer confirmed with me that the GS F is coming and that it will be a 2015 model. So expect an official announcement this upcoming year, and hopefully a launch by the end of 2014.

Precisely. They'll probably try to persuade you into buying the GS F-Sport instead and say it's sort of like the GSF.

I am sure it was a salesman that pay attention to car news like us, he knows what we know and go around telling his customer he confirmed the GS-F is coming, in a year or 2, so 2015.

Hey there are no penalty in guessing and spreading wrong rumor, I would do the same if I am a salesman

I can confirm the LS-F is coming in 2020 with a twin turbo V8

I have a long standing relationship with my dealer, I was in the process of purchasing a GS350 non-f from him, he was not trying to convince me to wait and get the GS-F instead, we were just talking about it. He would have no reason to lie to me, he has always been honest about the cars and he knows that I already know a lot about the lexus line up.

Why would he belay a sure sale for a car he knows nothing about
