Default GS350 F Sport Lease turn in

My 2014 GS350 F sport is due to be turned in to the dealer in about 6 months. I've loved the GS - it's been a great all around car and has a lot of the little things you look for in a luxury sedan. That said, I have a couple options and would love to hear what others say.

First, I do wish the GS had more power. If the GS had 100hp more, I'd instantly lease a new one. The GS F isn't an option because I want AWD for our snowy winters.

- I can turn in the car 3 months early and lease another Lexus (they offered a pull ahead)
- Find some other vehicle - if I do this - I want to move soon and order something because I want specific options like heads up display, remote start, etc. that a lot of the dealers around here don't order their cars with.

Opinions on what I should do and/or alternatives to the GS?

In this class the GS is easily the most dynamic driving wise. However, the lack of power is disheartening. I barely out ran an accord v6. The audi a6 supercharged is probably the next best option. I hate those seats though.

I am also in a 2014 GS F-sport coming out of a lease this year. I do like the GS, but could go for a power upgrade.

I am intrigued with the Infiniti Q70L 5.6 AWD. I suppose this car competes more with the LS, but carries a price point between the two Lexus models.

Any opinions on the Q70L 5.6?

On a related note - I just turned mine in and to my dismay they let me know that they do a third party evaluation of the car and will then let me know of anything above and beyond normal wear and tear. Not happy at all about this process. Turned a Mercedes in earlier this year and signed off on all liability on the spot as it should be.

Agreed re: the A6. I actually am not at all impressed with anything in the Audi tech wise either. I've driven a A4 from silvercar several times and hate the MMI and nav.

No opinions on that new Infiniti. I hated my last Infiniti - it was bought back under the lemon law and it was quite the fight to have them repurchase so I've vowed to stay far away from them and their awful service.
