Default Walkaround Video of LEXUS GS F 10th ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Filmed this GSF at a Lexus event and wanted to share for those that may be interested.

If the GS gets discontinued at least it goes out swinging with probably the best GS of them all.
I personally really like how this special edition turned out although its all cosmetic.

The blue interior is really cool and unique. The matte paint has a special finish that makes it just as easy to maintain as the standard paint colors.

I really like it, however, I still think they should have done more to it.
Different wheels, better performance and perhaps different exhaust system.

They probably didn’t do more because if they did they would have to make the premium more like what the rcf has which I don’t think they were confident they could sell with how poorly they’re able to move the gsf

I saw one last week, its gorgeous. The paint though.... There is a 17 page-long manual on how to care for the paint, LOL. If I where to own one, I would have the dealer wrap it immediately (in the clear bra stuff)

I think it may also be cheaper to get normal paint and apply a matte ppf to it to make it a lot easier to take care of. I thought about doing that to my usb gs. But decided against it for now

Not a dent. It's a reflection. It goes away as the camera moves. A dent can't disappear like that.
