Well this just flew off my "maybe next time" list. I thought it was going to be 72k base and up to 85 loaded. Starting at 85, it's out of my reach. I have a year left on my F Sport, so I have plenty of time to test drive anything.

Really disappointed in this pricing. I cannot justify the outlay for a new engine and some other bits and bobs, 20k premium but I'm not seeing where that 20k went. Hopefully we'll see a 400hp turbo v6 in a year or two in the regular GS lineup. Then again the GS200t may have some tuner potential but I won't hold my breath on it.

Ditto for me. Yes, I'd owned Lexuses in the past but had moved to Infiniti and Audi for years until Lexus introduced the 4GS. It was that, and the F Sport package, that brought me back. Kept that car for almost 3 years. For me, that is a long time, but it was THAT good.

yea. i had high hopes for Lexus after the 4GS came out, but that and the 3IS, are the only 2 cars that have any appeal to me in the Lexus lineup right now.

LFA syndrome.
On the other hand I applaude Lexus & how they held the line on price on the new RX for the most part but to go $20k more on an extra two doors, that's

They could have made it $11,000 cheaper if they have packaged it as RC-F which would basically mean no Navigation, no ventilated seats, no premium headlights, no safety assistance, no TVD, no CF, no nothing. Now that kind of striped down car for "only" $70,000 would be a rip off to me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but fully loaded RC-F still keeps the same price difference with GS-F just like the base RC when compared to the base GS.

But I agree with you GS-F as is should come in at low 70s just like RC-F loaded should have came in tick below $70. But that's Lexus and their weird huge markups for niche trims, GSh is still $11,000 more expensive then comparably equipped GS350 just like it was with first gen hybrid. They cant convince anyone on this planet that cost difference is still the same as it was almost 10 years ago and then no wonder hybrid doesn't sell, like they don't want it to sell.

Lexus Australia's sales ambitions are not huge − 40-50 a year

Um, ambitions of only 40-50 GS F are expected to be sold in Australia, which has a population of 24 million. Comparatively speaking (if you can even compare buyers of a GS F in Australia to buyers in the U.S.), that would be equal to sales of 535 - 670 being sold in the U.S. With about 250 Lexus dealerships in the U.S. the number of GS F [comparatively] sold in the U.S. will average a little more than two per dealership. Of course some dealerships will sell many more, and some will likely sell none.

Just thought about this last night. Breaking down HP per dollar Lexus various offering.
LS 460 F @$85k 386 HP= $220 per HP
GSF @$85k 467 HP= $182 per HP
RCF @$70K 467 HP= $167 per HP
2009 IS350C (new)@ $56k 306 HP = $183 per HP
2014 ISF@ $65K 416HP = $156 per HP

not sure if i see the point of this?

I see a lot of people comparing this Lexus GSF with many other cars like BMW, MB, Tes, and Audi. I think all the cars are over price. Why don't people just got buy a 2016 Honda Accord Sport for 20k and save yourself 65k+???

Why the hell are you here?

damtachoa

Yeah, I agree. However, some people need a luxury car to do business. GSF is a "NO' for me.

not sure if i (or anyone) get your point. by that definition even a regular gs is a huge waste of money?

Why Honda Accord? It's still cost $25K. Just get a $500 beater, u will save even more money that way. The thing will still get u from point A to Z.

T4Fun

why get any car?
walk, get a horse and carriage, or use a pedal bike. STill gets you from A to B

Maybe taking a public transportation will eventually save you a lot more more money than buying an Accord.
