The 200t will end up as loaners. All of them.

Here's the comparison. It saved both my configurations instead of googling it.
GS 200T F-Sport
GS350 F-Sport

You failed man. Read what I wrote again. I'm talking about an F-Sport package on both the Base GS 200T and Base GS350. I wasn't comparing a GS 200T and a GS350 base. Please read carefully before responding. I don't need to Google pricing. I can just do the estimator online. You should too. You're asinine btw.

stated in another post, most fsport buyers will pick the 350 anyway if they want sportiness and power. The 200t fsport is a teaser or gateway car that invariably forces the shopper to pick the higher priced 350 all the time. It's a pricing tactic to entice you to get the 350 fsport. So yeah, your post was asinine. But no, I would never call you the person asinine, that's a personal attack. But your post most definitely is.

That's the problem with the GS200T. Why would I pay for less horsepower when I can get the GS350 about the same price? The engine is a bonus even if you don't want that speed. I don't think the GS200T will sell well and Lexus will probably end up killing the GS200T after this year. If they had priced it cheaper, I'm sure it will sell well but only time will tell.

You are comparing the fsport gs200t to the fsport gs350 which is the most unfavorable comparison that puts the 200t in the worst possible light showing the narrowest pricing delta which gives the impression that the entire 200t line is close in price to the 350, when that selection is likely the least common comparison among most prospective buyers. As I

I have a RX200t loaner right now. I cannot imagine a GS with that 4 cylinder turbo 228 horsepower engine. Yuk!

does anyone else think that introducing the 200t is to meet the government mandate of having a certain average MPG rating for the entire brand's fleet? a quick google search brought me to C&D's page saying cars have to have an average of 37.8 mpg by 2016. lexus doesn't actually expect to sell the 200t's in large numbers but has them available for this reason.

Realistically, no current GS enthusiast would really want to "downgrade" by getting a 2016 GS200T since most think the existing engine is already quite underpowered.
Now if the GS200T was built on a new chasis that was extremely light weight and had that engine, it would be a lot more tempting.
Definitely geared more toward the people looking to move up from an IS 250/350 and into something a bit larger & more luxurious.

P.S. - Discussion is good; personal attacks are not. Let's try to keep things civil since we are all mature, Lexus owners (or potential owners).
