Just saw an official Lexus Facebook post the other day saying the GS F will have the 467hp V8 in it and an estimated 4.4s 0-60. This is about equal to the RC F so where's the value proposition? Having 4 people comfortably in the car instead of 2? It's estimated that the GS F will come in at a much higher price point, around 75k with no additional packages, while the RC F is in at 63k. So...12k more for the same performance and 2 more usable seats.
Thoughts? I'm kinda disappointed. I expected more to be honest.

The rcf is nice but I cant get over that stupid spoiler in back and center stacked info center. Ridiculous why there is a staircase basically for radio, controls and then the navi screen tucked away on top with a ledge. Lexus needs better a better interior ergonomics engineer. Same goes for GSF. Give me a porsche style 911 spoiler with some beef to it.
Overall i think the GSF would be a better value despite its higher price point, but i think RCF looks unique and more agressive. Lexus could of did a better job with rear end on GSF and sides. There is no wheel well flare on rear of GSF like on RCF. Sides of GSF basically look flat as a pancake, no uniqueness and flow like on todays cars.
give me smooth flowing center stack like the jaguar!
I will be emailing lexus about this for sure.

I actually like it better than the traditional Carbon Fiber..
Dark CF now found in the interior RC F optional package and likely standard in the GS F interior..
It's very nice, but dark and really doesn't stand out much.. Unless light is shining right on it

Actually the "Silver Texalium" used on the IS F was a head of its time for 2008.

the design of the gs center console is far better than is/rc to begin with so this is no surprise. though i am just not a big fan of all the cf. but imho this is better than the isf "silver cf" look.
