Default GS-F vs LS-F

The more I see those "American Dream" type commercials of acquiring all "the finer things in life" with the LS-F, I get more tempted to make the switch. What I really like is the LED Fog Light compliments that flow with the LED's in the headlights. It highlights the aggressiveness in the body. What would you do?

i was on the fence also... GS350 F Sport, or switch to the LS460 F Sport. i almost pulled the trigger but the GM put a bug in my ear about waiting for the new body style not to mention the additional goodies that will no doubt come with the new body style. not to mention the 90K sticker. i decided to hold onto the GS until the new body style drops..... however the way i feel about that 2013 LS460, i might just go ahead and do it in a few months. i test drove it twice in every mode except ECO. sport + was the best but 16MPG. i'll be at the gas station every 15 minutes. that huge in your face grill is sic and yes, the LEDs all around makes the car look even better.

I would wait for the all new body style which due 15/16.

The outside all LED, grill and bumper make the 13 LS look more aggressive but the inside seat, gauge, switch, door panel trim, ML audio, engine & tranny still the same old one. Even worse than the 4GS. Of course, that just IMO. The new LS is bigger, heavier and more comfy to drive, but the 4GS more fun and faster.

If you get the F-Sport, careful with aluminium trim since it easy to scratch.

Get them both, we only live one right? :-D

Lol thanks for the input fellas but I've already decided not to. Just to much $$ to spend at my age.

I was in your position just before Christmas. I went to the dealer to see if they had any LS F-Sport in stock. They had a obsidian that was simply beautiful. I test drove it, and really loved the ride. I really wanted to keep the GS and two weeks before bought winter tires which made the GS F-Sport handle so much better.

After the drive, I made the deal on the spot and drove the LS home that night. I know the car is 90k, but after seeing all of the features, it is really underpriced and should be priced about 10k more compared to the competition.

I have not regretted the move!
