given that a reasonably loaded rcf is in mid 70s, i think adding another 10k for the gsf (bigger, 2 more doors, more techs, etc...) makes sense.and i personally i think that's a pretty good price for this car, compared to what i can get on the 550i for the same price

Please build me an M5 for 130k, its almost impossible.
What niche is there?
They are building a PERFORMANCE BRAND with power that competitors had 10 yrs ago!
I guess going back in time and underdelivering is a "niche" now.
This car will be at least 85-90k.
A base M5 that has almost everything standard is 100k and it comes with 560hp!

Do you seriously think Lexus is going to charge more than a $20,000 premium over the GS350 for this?

Compare it to the base car. A base GS is about $50k...thats $22-24,000 more for the GS-F. A base GS F Sport RWD is about $54k...$20,000 more than a base GS F Sport then. I think thats going to be in the realm of reason. A fully loaded F Sport is about $63k...so fully loaded $80-83k, $20,000 premium for the GS-F.

It's basically a completely different car.
A Mercedes S400 MSRP is roughly $95k when a S65 AMG is around $225k. Why can't Lexus charge more than $20,000 for GS-F over a base GS350?

Why can't they? Because they arent stupid. Look at the RC...the RC-F is all of those things compared to the RC. How big a Premium from an RC350 F Sport? About $15,000

I just priced one out on Lexus website for $73k.

Yeah the numbers are totally disappointing. I'll look at the M5 and E63 if I'm ever in the market (though this won't be any time soon). Fortunately I have no loyalties to Lexus. I buy whatever car suits me at the time of purchase.
