Yes 500 would have been ideal , I do agree but this is what Lexus gave us for now.
Why buy a GS 350 when you could buy an is 350 ? More room, better interior materials.
The rc f is more on line with a IS than a GS
Why buy a GS-F when you can buy a RC-F ? More room, better interior.

When will anyone ever NEED 600 horsepower ?
The GS F will be more attainable than an AMG or M, so it will sale better by volume imho . I'd rather pay $85,000 or a 467 hp GS F opposed to $100,000 for a 600 hp GS F.
Not sure if I've ever seen more than 10 BMW M5's on the road .
Lexus made their choice. Love it or leave it!

talking about sense in luxury and high end market by itself doesn't make sense imho
if everything is love it or leave it then there is not much point for a platform to discuss isn't it?

New front looks nice.
Though not sure if the regular luxury 2016 GS350 update will look as nice as GS F at the front?
Not so sure about squared rear with IS-like tail light lenses?
May be it will grow on you with time?
Steering wheel from IS, especially RC coupe with square buttons.
Center vents and clock blacked out.
They haven't really updated dash at all.
Hi-fi and ventilation controls the same.
Seems like still using joystick, rather than RC and NX's scratch pad???
If the 2016 GS350 update looks like this front, rear, and inside, I might even go for the current original rather than the 2016 GS350 refresh?

If BMW M3 had the same engine, suspension as M5, but was $25K cheaper. Which car would you consider buying? When people are buying high performance cars, they rarely think about space. Some no doubt will pay for an inch of extra space, to me that does not make any sense. If I was buying a high performance car, I would be more interested in what's under the hood and what type of suspension it got, not how much space it has.

We had planned on selling our F sport and buying the GS-F, but after seeing these pictures and the numbers I will definitely have to think twice.
I don't dislike the car, I just don't love it like I thought I would. And to those saying who will really use the power...A lot of us would or we would just stick with the GS350 F sport...389tq just doesn't seem acceptable for a car of this size and 'prestige'.
I do love the carbon fiber accents inside, the LFA gauge, the alcantara interior.

I just noticed the suede dash. Um, I don't know 'bout that. And being in the sun too. Dang, I'd be brushing that suede all the time to keep the dust off it, and to make sure the nap looked just right.

Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed. I like few things in the vehicle such as those headlights. not a fan of these taillight (IS look alike) and absolutely not a fan of the steering wheel!!! Now when I drive it I will see IS in front of me! I do not want that. I will take RCF over the GSF if the price of the GSF is $5000 higher than the RCF because I don't see differences at all

Not sure what to think about this car..... don't love it, but don't hate it.
I think the teaser images caused too much excitement for me and somehow the final product didn't live up to the hype. I'll have to see it in person before making a final judgement.

Y not just put this engine in the IS where it belongs and continue the ISF line instead of killing it, esp since it already has a following.
Lexus waited this long for a GSF, they could of held off for next generation when they had a proper Engine to compete in this class.

Hmmm.. Not a fan of the IS-style front end and headlights/tail lights. I personally don't want the Lexus cars to blend together like Audi/BMW/MB.
That being said, I really like the car as a whole and the interior, and I think that engine will be more than enough. I like the car, but thankfully it doesn't make me like my 350 any less, either.
