This is not rocket science, it won't be a $800k 1000 hp TT V10 triple clutches 6WD with a Landaulet Convertible rear top section sedan challenging the next S-class Pullman and Bugatti Galibier.

Lexus is not going to go big, will just be whatever in the part's bin, we all know what they have in their part's bin You look at the ISF, GS350 F-Sport, LS460 F-Sport, morph all of them together and wah laa..............you got the GS-F. Is not curing cancer or living on Mars bro

Is like how we all know every details about the next F30 M3 now, down to the offset of the stock wheels it will come with, is the same thing over and over again, the formula hasn't change since the E30 M3.

I agree with this, its going to be just like the IS-F, really good but nothing wild.

I don't get what you guys are talking about. The GS F is already out and it has a V6. Mine has plenty of power. It's AWD.

In all seriousness, I probably won't buy the GS-F, but that's because my 4GS already has enough power for me, and at this point I'd prefer to buy a third household car (2012 Cayman R?) than update my existing car with a similar one. Maybe down the road. I am excited about the possibility of the GS-F though and am glad they're putting out something in the segment. Whether it has 499 or 504hp doesn't make a difference to me, and to be honest I don't think it'll make a difference to the people who buy E63s and M5s.

That market can be brand loyal beyond belief and somewhere in the back of their minds they probably can't fathom buying a Japanese sports sedan, regardless of how many HP it has.

Don't know why everyone isn't loving that the GS-F is coming. Finally, a GS that is a true sports car, has room for 4 adults, with Lexus reliability. Peak horsepower doesn't matter, it's the area under the curve and how it drives that is important.

Is very simple.

GS350 F-Sport chassis and body, add a little lip spoiler on the trunk lid.

+ current IS-F powertrain, suspension and Brembo brakes, seats and shift ****.

unrestrict the current IS-F's 5.0L with 2mm larger throttle body and exhaust manifold, a different tune to make ~475 hp.

I would guess 20" wheels since the GS350 already got 19s, same width wheels and tires as 350 F, maybe 275 in the rear.

Boom.............I present to you, the 2015 GS-F and you would like it

i think everyone loves the fact that it's coming. We're just wishing it to be better than the competition.

depends on your definition of better. better balanced of power / driveability / performance? that might just be the case, given how the f10 has failed on weight and the 4gs has shone in dynamics.

All I can say is if I were to spend $85K+,it would be on an M5 or E63 AMG over a GS-F.
If I kept a car longer than the basic warranty,then the GS-F.

You can't get a M5 or E63 for 85k anymore, more of 110K.

True but I do see a few '13 M5's in my area on Autotrader for $100795 and a couple of E63 AMG for $97K.If you can afford $85K,$97K or $100K is in the ballpark.

Lexus did it back then in 98 when it debut the GS400.......kicked the Germans' butt in the hp dept.

Now that the GS has the driving dynamic down and reliability, imagine pairing that with bigger *****.
This will definitely wake things up!

Man, I still get tingly watching this.
There's no hatin' or anything, just want Lexus to re-ignite that spark again.

That is exactly who would buy a GS-F, people who don't want anything to break on the car, for their whatever reasons.

Real E63, M5 and RS6 buyers would not consider any Lexus at all, regardless of how good it is.

Joeb427 is right, bare bone zero option cars are still under $100k..................they are lame though.
