I think they should be really aggressive with pricing for the GS-F and get a decent amount on the road. I think lower to mid 70's for a base GS-F would be great and get people talking and interested in it over pricing it closer to 100K which will likely ensure very low sales/interest.
Well Lexus cares....

I will be shocked if GSF is close to 70-75k.
If it is - i will buy it. My current 535i is 65k. Lol

It will be around 90k imo.
Hopefully im wrong!

If its priced on par with M3, GSF is the better car hands down!

GSF should cost the same or slightly more than RCF base price, just as M4 to 550i. Like I've said before, this really should be called GS500 F sport.

High $60K's low $70K for base I imagine. Typically optioned in the $80K's, and loaded with TVD (hopefully) and PCS/DRC I agree $90K

Agree on the name at least until the next iteration of GS F via refresh/redesign, new powertrain, or rumored FS moniker gets more power.

Regardless of name, this car is going to be a rewarding drive for owners.

All GS F materials and interviews indicated that TVF is standard on GS F, different from the optional availability on RC F.

It is according to the press release ...
lexus’ innovative torque vectoring differential (tvd), also found in the rc f, will be part of a long line of standard equipment that’ll make the gs f’s handling stand out from the crowd. The tvd features three operating modes:.

LOL! I thought the exact same thing. It seems a new trend is emerging, as many new debuts are coming out with dull tires that look gray.

That's great news. I still think the GS F will be $90K when optioned with PCS and fully loaded

I understand. Now we know that it is standard on the GS-F, my point was that it wasn't standard on the RC-F so it may not be on the GS-F.

with the TVD standard, the base price would be a little higher than some might have guessed, but that's OK if the price is not too high fully loaded ...
