GSF will probably kill the 550 M Sport and CTS V Sport performance wise. GS350 F Sport beat the 535 M Sport. 550 has 440 hp and weighs almost 4500# and isnt even a full blown sport model. 550 M Sport optioned is already approaching my estimated price for a GSF, and its not the performance trim. CTS-V is the biggest competitor to this car price wise. E63 and M5 are over $100k and would dust this car. This car is in the middle ground between V8 sedan sport packages and V8 sedan performance trims. What if someone wants something better than a sport package but doesnt want to spend over $100k for it?

omg car looks like a combo of the rcf front end and the isf mid/rear.
i cant believe their actually gonna be comparing the gsf to the m5 and e63 which is stupid cause the power difference is substantially diffrent. 467... omgggggggg
but then again the lfa only has midd 500's hp LOL. i guess it cant be more hp then the lfa right? =\

This thing should be supercharged. FSport vehicles should have supercharged V6 and F vehicles have supercharged V8.
I think the LFA is underpowered too to be in the Supercar class. Hell Dodge's Hellcats make what? 700+ HP now?

The car itself is too boxy and big to have that weird front end. It just doesn't flow well IMO. Maybe in person it'll be different or maybe it'll grow on me but right now this wasn't exactly what I was hoping for.

Don't forget the Super Wagons... and Super SUVs like ML 63 and Jeep SRT8.

I love the front end but hate the rear end. I dont like the nike swoosh but I like the spindle grill. I dont like the two tone leather seats looks very ugly, more contrast stiching would have been a better choice. I personal like the wheels of this GSF its alot nicer than the Luxury wheels on my 14 GS and nicer than the wheels on the fsports.
Although i feel that 467 HP is not enough i think it is still adequate. Lexus tunes their engine for economy/reliability so thats why they are so conservative. If they were to squeeze more power out of it, it probably wont be as reliable. Remember that Lexus is known too last a long time. Id rather have a 467 HP reliable engine than a 550 HP unreliable one.
To makes matters worst they dont even bother putting a touchpad in it like they did with the NX and RC. That alone is a deal breaker to me.

don't worry, the 2 tone interior won't make it to the US
that's exactly why RNM GS3 said this should be gs500 f sport? i don't think anyone is dissing the idea of having v8 gs, i think most have begged for the car for the longest time.
the badge, the f badge, the gsf badge. that, to me, is the problem

It looks like those wheels will be a direct swap with the current gen, they're just wider. 19x9 front and 19x10 rear vs. my FSport's 19x8 and 19x9.
