Agreed.

Granted, as a stand-alone vehicle, the GS-F can manage on it's own no problem.

Just don't expect that you can out-run a BMW M5 equipped with the 7MA Competition Package

This is just a facelift, previous 'gen' would be a 3GS - and you're likely talking about 'F-Sport' not F because this is the first 'F' for the GS marque

Likely, though there's the off chance it could be more luxurious looking like the MY16 ES refreshed front.

Oops, the "9" was a typo! I meant 500.
