First GS f owner?

It's interesting that you have an M4 and yet you're considering the GS F as a potential next car (when the price is right). Most people don't think that the M4 buyer is also interested in the GS F. I too like the GS F, despite it's power shortcomings. I've been shopping it against an AMG C63 S, as it has more in common with the GS F than the AMG E63 does. The difference in horsepower between a GS F and C63 S is 36hp, and both MSRP for about $87k loaded (though the GS F is even more loaded). Many compare the Lexus to the M5, E63, etc because of size but those cars are far more expensive.
I've driven both the C63 S and the GS F. Both are awesome cars. The AMG is faster to 60 by about half a second, which you can feel. But both are quick. Both sound amazing. Both have lots of nice tech, beautiful interiors, great handling, etc. I pushed on both cars during my drives, and they made me smile. The Lexus lacks some low end torque, which we all know. But I'm not sure how much that matters. It's a beautiful car.
For now I've ruled out the CTS V, ATS V, Charger Hellcat, the Bimmers, and others for various reasons. Those are all amazing cars. I am well aware of the car landscape, but have narrowed in on these two cars at the moment. I'm looking for an overall package of luxury, reliability, looks (which are subjective), features, etc.
So.... Assume that both the AMG and the Lexus can each be had for around 5k under MSRP. Each will drop in price the longer I wait, so let's just pretend that they're always going for about the same price. Which would you buy? Thanks!

I just took home a 2015 RCF for 59,000 before ttl. Original 72,480 msrp plus 699 dealer fee. So altogether 19.9% discount. The GSF will drop that much or more by year end.

What dealer did you buy it from, was there a lot of haggiling to get that price?
Hope the GS-F follows suit sooner than later!

While at Palm beach Lexus, I asked the salesman if GSF are moving, he shook his head so hard it almost rolled off. He said it's not going to move until Lexus offer some heavy weight discounts.

I ultimately bought from Lexus of Palm beach. I started quoting online and dealers are desperate to sell, especially the northern states. A dealer in MO offered to ship it for free, offer $860 check, sell it for $59k with a slight higher sticker than my car. I didn't pull the trigger bc it's white and plain. I'm sure if you deal over the phone or email you can get far better deals than walk in.

Thats great news! Well hopefully the GS-F's just keep sitting until lexus can price them better.
the GS-F inventory just keeps climbing everyday, cars.com is almost at 300 across the nation. I wonder how long lexus will wait before the heavy weight discounts kick in??
