Good luck to anyone that can get this for "invoice" pricing.
Not really understanding why they charge more for the blue mica. I wasn't charged extra for the "Deep Sea Mica"....

$85k is a lot of "Lexus" money but in comparison to it's competitors it's WAY cheaper...however it's quite a bit slower too 
CTS-V, E63 or M5 will all eat this car for lunch.
I saw an wrapped Orange one with some aero bits at SEMA 2015 and the car up close does look very nice. The question is will customers shell out nearly $100k for one after taxes?
I think for $50k range it's a really good argument but not at the current price tag. Would still love to drive one for comparison since I had a M5 for the long weekend and it was an amazing ride like a well tailored suit.

My wife said it best - if you want to stand out for sure, buy a McLaren (she loves those cars) and could afford one but prefers her simple cars. We talked about a Tesla for her and she said she loves her CT why have two cars LOL

hey you are the stupidest person to write this quote! My intention was that people was saying $85k is too much for this car so why they don't go get something cheaper? My thoughts on this Lexus GS F for $85k is okay. There will be a lot of dummies will buy it. Lexus will sell. Do you not see their number of sales for the RX? 
Your logic makes my head hurt. Someone else already replied so I'm not going to bother.

A GS F sport is in this price range already.

Lexus IS doing a great job of stepping up it's game with the new design & F Sport models, however, they may be shooting themselves in the foot with pricing. $20K to upgrade to a V8 takes me out as much as I would like the extra ponies. I like the RC F over the corvette. Much easier to get in & out and just as sexy. Resale pricing will determine real value. Just look at what a used MB, or BMW go for.
Big brake kit all around - aftermarket is 5-6k.
Big *** baller wheels - gotta be worth 3k
TVD diff - prob 3-5k
V8 - 5k
Custom interior - 3-5k with sick seats and badass dash
Cool headlights - 1k
The price increase is justified. It's not just a V8, like a GS460. It's definitely modded.

Will need to see that in person and see what the fuss is all about.
Should make paint correction from a-holes, door dings, bird droppings, fender benders that much more fun (read impossible).

Well $87,655 with all the possible ADD ONs
or simple $85,380 with no ML, no Orange Calipers, no Blue paint
(rare bird)
My bet is that the GS F will mostly come TWO ways for the Western Area / SoCal Market - we are in an ML Market
w/ ML & Black Calipers @ $86,760
w/ ML & Orange Calipers @ $87,060
So basically $86,760 or $87,060
Add in $595 for USB 2.0 when applicable

U know every time I see USB 2.0 I'm thinking that USB plug 2.0 on a computer. But here it's Ultrasonic Blue...
Come one I can't be the only one here..

Just look at the new NSX being so hush hush about it's performance numbers. Once people have determined it makes 550+hp now the car is getting a lot better reviews.
I was just reading an article where the new McLaren 675LT makes nearly 666hp out of a 3.8L V8, granted it's forced induction but WOW. The LF-A at about the same price is pretty anemic in comparison.
I've driven their old flagship the McLaren 12C a few times now and that car is blistering fast. I can only imagine what the 675LT feels like.
The GS-F needs to have the acceleration of the M5 to put it in the big leagues. Right now it's like buying an M5 with an M3 motor in there. No buyer of this class of car wants the same motor under the GS-F as an RC-F owner!
