My 535i has gobs of low end torque but it falls on its face over 5500rpms. I rather have the high end power that the GS has rather than low end torque of the BMW.

Or even better until a Porsche 918 Hybrid Spyder pulls up and eats all three previous cars for breakfast with the top down in style!

The 2 middle ones. ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
And it looks like the RCF is having the same issue... Not enough low end torque and slow 8 speed downshift. lol

i would have to agree with the op on this one.. low end torque sucks *****. even in sport+
i havent really got to test top end power but still im comparing this to my 2013 Maxima
yes granted the Maxima has a CVT but when its in the sweet spot this thing will take flight on almost any German/Asian/American car. Torque rated at 260 but feels alot faster ...
as for top end. i notice on my Maxima its easier to maintain speed at 80MPH with very little throttle depressed... on the lexus however is a different story maybe the 8 speed transmission has something to do with it.
