4.4s at 0-60 for $85K? What are you thinking Lexus?

So would it be better if they stripped it and priced it around $75k' ish?
That way if you want it fairly loaded, then it'll get back to the $85k proposed price?

Loaded GS should include the following,

TVD,
Blind spot monitor,
Heads up display,
Pre-collision system,
Radar cruise control,
ML

If at least 2 or 3 of options above are missing, then it's semi loaded. Which means you're looking at another $5000 - $7000 of additional options. The car would be well over $90K+. That is way too much for a car of this caliber

actually i have no problem with orange calipers, i think they look very nice. red / black / silver are boring now

but having to pay extra for them, i am not sure.

funny you bring that up. i was talking to someone and i actually thought it would be better if they make the starting price at 75k with less options, and then a relatively loaded one at 85k (like now). i think that's going to be a lot more pleasing. the end result is the same, but the way it comes out is different

They could but if they want to control the number of cars and still make profit the only way is to bring the price up. They will meet their quota

I remember the same scenario when the 2013 Viper was announced. For reference, my 2008 Viper had a MSRP of $87,700 and my 2013 had a MSRP of $140,490. I knew that Dodge lost their mind and waited a year as prices tanked on the car. There were obviously several takers initially, but people just refused to pay that much for the car and inventory built up, and dealers started losing a lot of money to get rid of it. I picked my 2013 Viper up after it had sat at the dealer for 352 days for $46,140 off of sticker price. Looks like I will wait a year and see how desperate the dealers get. $34,440 on top of a GS350 F-sport? LOL, no.

I don't feel bad about modding my gs anymore. this would make a great used car though.

It's dissapointingly $10k-$15k too expensive; was hoping it would be competitively priced against the M3.

Wow 85 large is crazy high imo.

$75k fully loaded would be right ballpark considering a well equipped M3 can be had for $70k.

This will sell less units than the GS450h.

"Two extra doors for 20k".
That's funny.

Don't worry guys, later u will be able to get this thing for huge discounts after the hype is over. This car won't sell that much, just like the RCF. Big discounts on those now just to move them.

Unless they only make this in a very small volume, in which case u won't even see it at all.
