Me? Right now I have the 3/4 view of the GSF as my desktop wallpaper.

I feel that way and I also don't like the rear taillights, dual exhaust pipe set up and diffuser design.

Though it should have at least 500 HP,that really doesn't bother me much at all.

I think the stacked quad exhaust is getting old, they should just go back to side by side quad exhaust.

Getting old? It was never cool to begin with.

Ferrari got rid of it on the California after one generation.

It seems to be an F signature. No mistaking it for any other Lexus.

Isn't the spoiler supposed to raise at speed? If it does, then it's ok the way it is.

That just looks like the F Sport spoiler in carbon fiber to me.

Not at all. The GS F's is fixed whereas the RC F has a deployable one

Let's just put something out there just so we can say we have a halo car in the segment. People have been waiting so long. Let's put two more doors on a RCF and call it a GSF but use the spruced up GS interior. No one will be the wiser. My guess is the combo of all of the above (including your theory too).

Yes, it could also be laziness and cost-cutting. But man, just imagine a 467hp engine at your disposal with no engine problems whatsoever. I don't know, I will still be a happy camper.
