The F-sports department of Lexus has lately been getting some criticism. With the introduction of the Lexus IS-F that was hyped up to very high levels but then performed mediocre compared to the BMW M3, the Mercedes-Benz C63, and the Audi RS4. Now Lexus has another chance to redeem itself. Say hello to the Lexus GS-F.
Rumored to be release in early 2012, the Lexus GS-F would be the direct competitor to the Mercedes-Benz E63 and the BMW M5.
they're going to get more negative criticism if they keep that motor at 465hp, why would i pay more for a gs-f than an AMG or m5 with significantly less horsepower...
at that price, buy a used 3 generation GS, purchase a fully built v8 TT motor, engine management and trans (manual if you desire) and it would cost much less than 90K. Even with dyno tuning and all the other stuff it would compete with any AMG or M5. If you really wanted to go all out, get all the suspension stuff for the GS and I still think it would be much less than the 90K sticker price.

nuf said! I love Lexus but the horsepower compared to the others it would make no sense to buy, except that it has the F logo everywhere?
They're also aiming to lighten it a bit, down to 3,700LB.
That could make up for HP compared to the Merc. It will go a long way towards better handling too.

Damn how much is it going to be the M5's and AMG's are almost 100k
