Well I'm used to the AWD variants, which always sit much higher. I actually thought the stance was good on the GSF. But again, prototype/promotional vehicles are always lowered more than the production model, so we will see.

Can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I prefer the taillights on the regular GS. Those on the GSF look like the ones on a civic; not the shape but the style with the black and red. They look cheap. Since the shape is the same as a regular GS, it may be an easy swap. Maybe it looks better in person. The more I look at the whole car, the more I like it. Still think the front end of the concept looks the best though.

(just kidding, but I really have been reading it that long).Except that you can't get a M6 Gran Coupe for the same money. For the same money as a M5 your are looking at a loaded 650 Gran Coupe. As an aside, I was fortunate enough to attend the world wide introduction of the M6 Gran Coupe at "Circuit of the America's" in Austin and rode several laps in one with a BMW driver who has a professional racing background. We were running at what I would consider extremely close to a race pace. Quite fun!

No question that times will vary based upon the magazine tester and conditions, but Motor Trend is pretty consistent But I've only been reading Motor Trend for 50 years, so what do I know (just kidding, but I really have been reading it that long).

Yeah. In fact, most online criticism is that the GSF front end is too extreme.
Me? Right now I have the 3/4 view of the GSF as my desktop wallpaper.

Nobody probably knows yet, but with the M5 and E63 having fuel capacities of 21 gals, and the S6 at 20 gals, will the GS F have a bigger tank than the 17 gal one the regular GS 350 has right now? I'm not sure if Lexus upgraded the IS F or RC F fuel tanks over their normal counterparts.
