Levinson is its own option it's in the lower part of that page. I honestly want the mem package and nav/Levinson and that's about it, I don't ever use the moonroof in either of my current cars and the triple beams are nice but not necessary. I at least have till we have actual prricing to figure out what is going on my car so time to think and put more money away

yeah I had seen that but if you get that you’re still stuck with the tiny 8 inch screen. I think we just need to do what you said at the end “save more money” lmao

yeah, that tiny screen with carplay/android auto is a no-go for me so I totally understand. you could also order the nav minus the Levinson if you want. I personally haven't heard the regular system but I love a good stereo so the Levinson is a must for me

I thought ISF and RCF comes with memory seats standard or they’re so common I didn’t realize it’s an option? Once you add all these options it will be a $70k car I’d rather get a real F car. A lot more exclusive.

I can definitely do without the Triple Beam lights, Moon-roof (no one uses this and it's going to be 1k), and the Power-rear sunshade. Memory package is a must. The 10 inch screen with Mark Levinson are musts as well.

Every one of you complaining should buy a used GS F. Done.

but yeah I feel exactly the same way. My ideal car would be base + ML + 10” screen. The apple maps through CarPlay is good enough for nav.

I must’ve missed the part where people were complaining. It’s a forum *discussion*, so hop back into your cute little Prius and find another post

I want a slick top, the extra headroom and not having to worry about the seals as the car ages is a massive plus to me

Anybody know if other F models use 2 piece rotors? I Just noticed it says 2 piece front and rear rotors. Those are always more expensive to replace when the time comes That's one of the things that steer me away from higher end cars, I don't want to pay $1500 for a front brake job.

it was said earlier in the thread the 2 piece rotors are those from the gs350 f sport, not the GS-F/RC-F rotors

My '13 GS F Sport killed front pads and rotors after ~20k miles if I remember correctly and I don't even drive hard. I think I was quoted mid $600 for that job.

My nearly 20 year old Lexus IS 300 has a moonroof and has never had any leak issues to date. When I had my 1994 LS 400 for a short time, it never had any leak issues with the moonroof or any of the door weather strips for that matter. This is Lexus we're talking about.
