Well, a "loaded" up GS-h F-Sport will run you over $75k. If added HP to a Lexus engine has taught us anything, they're going to overcharge for it. It will likely START at $85k.
You can make an argument that they overcharge for their performance hybrids, but I don't think for instance they overcharge for the RC-F...
For the record, I'm betting it will start in the mid to upper $70s with a typical car in the low to mid $80s. I think they will not sell a lot at that price. But the real issue for me is that they lost a lot of momentum by taking so damn long to get it to market after showing it.
Lexus needs to learn to "leak" info to enthusiast community to keep potential buyers engaged.
They have horrible Marketing for GS as a whole and really no vision for F models.
Its August - ordering guide should of been available at the very least.
Not to mention there is zero news on the regular GS350 refresh

Absolutely right. Lexus doesn't pay enough attention to enthusiast customers, despite all the performance emphasis at the headline level in recent years. Marketing to existing customers about upcoming goodies is how you keep them from sniffing the roses from other manufacturers.
I spoke to someone from Newport Lexus earlier today and I was told that the 2016 GS (F-Sport at least) would not be available until late October or early November (basically the same timeline as last year). I'm not sure if the GS-F will come out before, after, or at the same time.
I was going to order an IS350 F-Sport today but I decided to wait for the GS-F price. Who is going to use the GS-F as a daily driver?My only concern is the seats I sat in the RCF seats and I liked them but I don't know if they will be comfortable for long road trips.

LOL.. your just too funny! Do you think the new 2016 GS F would only be a few thousand more than an IS350 F Sport?? A IS350 F Sport MSRP is around 45k. A 2016 GS F will be around mid 70K. Are you willing to spend extra 30k? Please don't say your going to order IS350 F Sport and decided to see what the GS F price going to look like. There is no comparing here.
Are they changing all the GS models or just adding the monster to the line up. I will be totally fine if they just added this to the line up rather killing off my '13 body style and making it look old when the 2016 model comes out. Just leave the Gs350 alone and add this to the line up. I just got my car 1 month ago damn it lol

Yes and no. It's being added to the lineup but the mid-year refresh is happening already. Once the 2016's hit lots you'll see the new nose and maybe tail. Dunno if the interior is getting any changes though.
I'm still concerned if they're splitting the LED's out of the headlights. That's literally the last defining feature of the GS nose vs other models at this point, it needs to stay that way. Those GS-F hoverboard pics were cleverly shot to make it nearly impossible to see if the new lights are like this or not.
