Default Black line question

Jumped over to your Forum to post a question on this. I'm a current 2017 RCF owner with about 10k into it with Mods. I think its awful they're dropping your GSF and the entire GS Line as well. Kept a 2007 GS in mint condition for my wife in a color I havnt seem them do again - Artic White. Sold that for a 2017 RX350 Lease and about to return it for what I'm hoping will be this Limited Edition GS Black. I looked thru your threads a bit but didn't see anything on it. Was hoping my fellow F Owners could give me some feedback on this 2020 Black? I've asked my two dealers to research it but hearing crickets. Check it out and thanks!

Gunny

Default No Impact No Idea!

Had to of my friends who are Lexus GMs put some feelers out and neither of them can locate anything on these allocations. One of in Brooklyn is reaching out to their HQ Representative. I'd take the White AWD in a heartbeat!

The GS is such a good platform that I can't believe they're discontinuing the GS line.

Default Low volumes

Low volumes my friend low volumes....auto production is a volume game and unfortunately expensive RWD sedan platforms only work with volumes

People love their SUV CUV platforms and that's bad for the GS.

Fingers crossed on getting a Black Line used in a couple of years...

I want the "Eternal Touring" edition instead of the "Black Line"... Apparently the "Eternal Touring" edition is only available in black flake color. I wish it came in Ultra White. But darn do I love the interior!

Default GS Black Edition?

Anyone, regardless of current Model paid eyes on the new GS Black Line Edition? Have 3 offers for it and would like to know how incredibly sharp it is for this model.

Bottom Line: we all know the GS is going away. But - is it TRULY worth the hype they make.it put to be?.Any advice is appreciated folks.

OOH-RAH ! 🇺🇲

gunny, I think the black line is a gs350 f sport variant, not a gs f.

I moved your last post about it to the 4gs forum and merging this Latest post here (moved from gs f forum)

I need that steering wheel! I have (and love) the Roija red interior in my F Sport, but love the black/red stitching on that interior. Damn Lexus knows how to make some nice interiors!
