Default Fail?

Seems like the only thing going for it it's value because the direct competitor is faster and more efficient.

Yea this wasn't something I didn't picture happening. The BMW is really fast off the line, they did a great job, I had it as a loaner and the car responds when its needed you feel the need for more when your on the highway. City driving is more than enough power out the Bimmer, not surprising since most of what Lexus is throwing out is under powered, I wish they would get that you actually need a little more power to compete with the other major brands!

They should rename it to GS 200f = 200 FAIL!

The GS 200 shouldn't even made into production.

And it only has 15 ML speakers? Mine has 17 I think.

They had to add turbo on the 350 only.
200t was a bad idea!

I disagree that a 2.0T it's a bad idea. It's only a bad idea when the implementation sucks, which is what Lexus did with the GS. But give me the 0-60 in 6s, 34 freeway mpg and it's not a bad idea anymore

Nah, I think all of them in the same class are pretty much in the same ballpark.

My sister hates the car and wants a GS350 F sport. She wanted something a bit larger. If does not get into a GS she will opt for a BMW 528I.

Completely Fail !!!

Please no more 2017 GS 200T. It fails from interior to exterior, and down to engine.

I haven't checked but read here the GS 200T is not far away price wise from the GS350.I don't understand the need for a lack of performance GS 200T.
