Default Lexus GS to get an F Line



With so much press on the BMW M5, the Mercedes S63, and the Audi S8, Lexus was feeling a bit left out. As we have stated before, Lexus is hungry to take away as many customers from ze Germans as they possibly can. That’s why this new rumor makes a lot of sense and is probably pretty accurate.

Read the rest on the Club Lexus homepage.

Yes it's all but confirmed. Will we see a debut at 2015 NAIAS in January? I think so.

I feel the GSF will be a little under powered considering the Germans are all forced induction albeit probably more reliable than the German competition. Maybe the lack of torque is to preserve the 8spd tranny.

Doubt it. The Cayenne Turbo uses a 8-speed Aisin transmission.
