  • People who chose "Get something else in the Lexus range"... IS? Or an SUV?
  • Having already owned the MB E550, I loved that engine, but I think I'm avoiding German because of quality/reliability issues.
  • The upcoming Genesis G80 looks interesting--but perhaps not sporty enough handling-wise? Build quality/reliability is...very good?
  • The upcoming 2021 Acura TLX looks interesting--has available AWD (good enough?). But still too small (on the inside. Its exterior dimensions--eg wheelbase--look to be bigger than our GSs?)
Sigh....Where to go from here....??
I know the feeling. I'm going to continue enjoying my '18 GS until my lease expires this November and I'll decide then. As of this point in time, if I'm getting another Lexus after my GS, it'll be an LC500, otherwise, I'm not sure there's anything else left for me in the lineup. Not sure yet what I'll get if it's not going to be another Lexus, especially with all the new cars that'll be revealed between now and then, but I'll figure that out over the next few months.

@signdetres no longer considering an RC350?

I purchased a 2020 GS350 F Sport just this month. I plan to keep it a while. I have no interest in the ES350, NX300, RX350 or any other model. I test drove the NX and RX but didn't like it.

If not for the GS, I would probably go Toyota, Honda or Acura (if reliable gets better than now).

Not anymore. I've been considering a lot of the opinions that were given in the GS vs RC thread and they did a pretty good job swaying me away from the RC haha. Especially now that I've had to do a lot of driving this past week including hours of stop & go traffic on the freeway, the fact that the GS has All-Speed Radar cruise control and Steering Assist and can essentially drive itself during those situations whereas the RC can't do any of that... dealbreaker for sure. I was so grateful to have had it and it was working so well and smoothly that I was genuinely relaxed and comfortable while the car did literally everything.

But besides all that, I'd reallllllllly miss my power folding mirrors and power trunk too. :P

My next car will likely be an EV as well. Leaning towards a Model 3LR/Performance. Alternatively, a VW ID hatchback or an upcoming Lexus with a Prime PHEV drivetrain.

Hopefully in the next 5+ years, the EV aftermarket support/maintenance/repair/parts infrastructure will increase. I'd hate to have to lean on the dealer for every fix.
