Interesting, I sure hope the 2016 GS 350/F Sport isn't that far out as well

If that were true I would head down to Cadillac and demand my deposit back on the special order luxury sport sedan (2016 CTS-V). And keep my GS!

Not mean to offend you but what is it about the caddy that is considered luxury? I'm looking for a replacement and find it hard to give up the comfort features the GS has. Thanks.

No offense taken at all, very hard to offend me. I realize luxury may be different from person to person. For me, luxury means comfort, among other things, and the GS is very comfortable (even the F sport). After sitting in the Caddy sport seats (non-Recaro, previous gen model), I noticed a bump in comfort from my current GS. The "V" is of course the top trim, so one would expect comfort above and beyond my current GS. Wait until September and test the comfort level out for yourself. If you have time (or even care to), do some research on the CTS-V.

Spoke to Pohanka Lexus - Northern Virginia - who said GS F's will be distributed to dealerships in 1-2 at a time with very few deliveries in 2015. 2016 GS350's to arrive October.

It sounds ok , but when she hit that accelerator

Is it just me or is that interior kinda ****ty? I mean what does red have to do with the car? Not feeling the combo of alcantara/red/leather/black plastic....too much going on. Too be honest Ive never preffered the F interiors. The ISF interior with white carbon fiber makes me throw up because it looks so out of place.....
Orange calipers?

Still cant wait to test drive it though!

I like my combo better, that one does look out of place.

I'll be happy if they put that engine in mine and keep everything else as is. I'll even keep the 350 badge on just so when a ricer pull up next to me I'll tell them hold on boii. haha

I would consider the GS-F 2016 but only if it had an AWD option. It doesn't. So, I'm PROBABLY moving on. I love my GS350 AWD. it is an outstanding sports sedan. Quality and reliability with Lexus is outstanding. But I'm not a brand loyalist, and I'm itching to try something different. I'm 70% committed to picking up a 2016 Porsche Macan this fall when the lease on my 4GS expires. I figure I can get a nicely equipped Porsche Macan for only 10K more than a GS 350/350 F-Sport.

It's taking them a year from the cars official announcement to hitting the dealers....and this for the basic car that is going to be in its fourth year of production? What the **** the matter with them

Wow, here we are into June and nothing more on the GS F than what we knew in January.
I believe a brochure was available for the RC F in May and pricing in August. Maybe we have some news to look forward to in the coming weeks?

They heard everyone and their mother complain about the lack of power finally so they went back to the drawing boards to test the motor with twin turbos..

Wouldn't that be a kick in the *** if you pre-ordered a GSF and then 6 months later it has twin turbos and 100 more horsepower?
