I don't see how the RLX holds a candle to the GS. I would think you could find a sub $40K RLX now, so if you like it, get it now. Then, in a few years, when a used GSF comes into your price window, you can get a nice upgrade.

My current wait for an engine update to the IS 350 is the longest I've waited. I'll test drive the 2.0 turbo when it comes out, but an updated 3.5 or 3.0 twin turbo V6 is really what I want.

Any consideration for the Infiniti M56S? I've found myself getting tempted by them lately.

I have definitely thought about it but never drove one. I did sit in one a year ago and it didn't have a Lexus feel to it, hard to explain. I also have trouble getting over the rear end styling and apparently the nav and other accessories can be maddening to use according to reviews.

So hard to find a car that checks all the boxes. If the ISF had a larger back seat, cooled seats, and a heated steering wheel I would be good to go. First world problems I suppose
