I almost sold my GS, but finally decided to keep it. I still love driving it. Until having a GS, the longest I ever kept a car was 2-3 years. Granted I've now had 3 GSs, but I've now been driving a 4GS since 2015, so 7 years. I could do that with NO other car.

Right or wrong, I kind of equate the RC to an IS coupe. I had an IS. I loved that car, like really, really loved my 2014 IS350. But I would never go back. GS FTW!

GS for sure is a more premium and nicer riding car than the RC as it should be. RC has the IS interior after all and it’s the entry level coupe. But the newer RC’s are so uncommon and much better looking than any GS that I would deal with those compromises but not for their current price lol. it’s a shame how Lexus gave up on the Gs, didn’t even give it CarPlay in its last few model years

Compare the 19+ RC with a 19+ GS, don't compare it to the pre-refresh model. I'll give u one year (or less) and u'll be running back to the GS.

Yeah, the RC is really and IS coupe. It looks and feels like an IS inside.

aren’t the 2016+ GS the same? I’m not sure, my cousin has a 2020 F sport GS so I assumed they didn’t change much since 2016. And nope I want a coupe over the GS so I doubt it. But I’ll keep my eyes out on a refresh GS black on red with triple beams maybe

I test drove a 2015 rc and enjoyed it but I feel like I’ll miss the small luxuries of my GS, such as the 12.3” screen, auto rain sensing wipers, etc. Anyone ever own both and switched or have any information I can learn from lol.
I would choose the 2016 GS F sport. I had the 2015 IS 350 F Sport and thought it was more nimble than the RC. The RC felt heavy and awkward in comparison (Was really surprised at this). The 2016 GS is more refined than the 2013 and more softly sprung. The ML system is nice but would not be a deal breaker for me.
