But relatively minor complaints. All I really want is for the GSF to be competitive against the M5/Ghibli/RS cars.
Specs are extremely disappointing. Lazy of Lexus to just drop the rcf engine in this thing. Please don't call it the gsf.

And I agree, Lexus models are all looking too similar. Let's just increase sausage links for every step up in class.

Look like they tried to combine a bit of IS, RC...to the GS-F. Failed!!

Audi & BMW also got laser headlight! Many folks will buy their car just for this feature.

I agree. This is not F level performance. Bigger and heavier car should get a bigger and faster engine than the RCF. I also think the biggest complaint will be the weight, just like the RCF, when compared to rivals. I was hoping that it would blow other cars in its class out of the water, but now I'm questioning that.

In regards to exterior styling, I like the front and kinda disappointed about the back, especially the tail lights. Rear diffuser also seems too plain.

In a few more years, this car is probably going to be completely redesigned. Hopefully they make it lighter and have new engines available with more performance.

Before it came out I'm liking the teaser pic more than my current gen but now that it's out I'm liking my GS better.

Lexus GS F takes on M Division

2016 Lexus GS F gets 467-hp V8, will debut in Detroit

2016 Lexus GS F Debuts at 2015 Detroit Auto Show

I'm not wild about the full spindle grille. And I just can't handle those seats - and the rear seats are equally as bad, if not worse.

I'm getting the impression that Lexus is getting lazy with their engine choices... guess we'll have to wait for the reviews to come out in order to see if the GS-F can really go against it's competitors.

Like I said, Lexus will always be underpowered compared to the Germans. But we still buy them anyways.

Lexus decided to just "jab" and then step back. No uppercut for full knock out like the cts-v.

I was hoping for 500HP but I'm sure with a few mods you can be there.
