Lexus debuts 2016 GS F
#202
This is correct. From past trends, it is approximately $20k to make the jump from the base 350 model to the F model with all the performance upgrades (2008 IS350 to 2008 IS-F / 2015 RC350 to RC-F).
Being that the GS-F will have the TVD as standard equipment ($1750 option for the RC-F), it's safe to assume that we're looking at a $22k premium for the GS-F when compared to a base GS350 (which would bring the starting price of the GS-F around the $70k mark [plus or minus $2k]).

Of course, thats still cheap compared to competition that loaded costs $35k more for two turbos more.

I think a big hindrance to the entire F line is that to date no one has cracked the computer in order to tune it. I realize it is a small subset who mod high end performance sedans but with every other make be it Caddy, Merc, or BMW you can go wild with it as a platform since it can be tunded. I think if the ISF, RCF and GSF had the ability to be tuned and have power adders added it would do allot for the brand from an image standpoint, even if the base model was down on power.

GSF looks great imo.
2 things i dont like:
- tailights look like cheap aftermarket, in person it should look better
- fake CF trim on engine cover
If its priced at M3 level (70-80k) then its a winner even though i still feel its a diservice for it to be called a true F model bec it doesnt match its true competitors.
