Jump Ship for GS-F?

Of course 
. But the LFA isn't exactly in showrooms for everyone to buy.
The LFA is supposed to be a halo car, to get people into the showrooms. Right now - when people do see the LFA and get excited about lexus, and come into a dealership - they only have ONE choice for a performance car..... the ISF.
Not very good IMO.
Walk into a BMW dealership and they have a 1 series M, M3, M5, M6, X6M, X5M... etc.
Mercedes and TONS of AMG cars.
If they just stop at the ISF - IMO, the LFA was pointless. Why build a halo car if there are no "F" models for people to buy?
That is why I think Lexus NEEDS a GSF ... only when lexus expands their brand will people see them as on par with the germans. 1 car does not make a brand. (In this case the F brand)

Jump ship would not be the right term for me, because I don't see myself going to sell or trade in my IS-F simply because the new GS-F is out. BUT, when the time comes to get a new car (which I'm predicting will be maybe around 2017 when my warranty is up) I will definitely take a look to see what is out there, and expect a GS-F to be on the short list. With two young kids, I'm going to be in the 4-door performance sedan market for a good long while, and the GS-F sounds like it will be the logical step up.

Count me out. The GS is a nice machine, but even with F genes it will be a drastically different car from what we currently are driving.
These are two different animals.
