Default Lower MSRP for 2018 GS 350AWD vs 2017

Noticed the 2018's msrp is $2,750 cheaper than the 2017 msrp.

Kinda cool. I wonder why?

The F-Sport Pkg in Optional Equipment shows $0 on MY2017 window sticker because it was built in MSRP staring price.
IMO, MY2018 took out F-Sport built in from MSRP starting price, and put $2750 back in Optional Equipment just to make the price more attractive to begin with.

Let's wait till Lexus launch MY2018 and see if my guess is correct.

If MSRP drop is the case.. there might be a mega lease deal to be had when the 2018's come out...

The actual MSRP has been released. All of 2018 GS F-Sport RWD or AWD now come with Mark Levinson Sound.
RWD w/o Triple Beam LED, HUD, Dynamic Handling is around $56K
AWD w/o Triple Beam LED, HUD is around $58K

Lexus did reduce price on F-Sport, and sadly no more Luxury pkg.

It's a stand alone option, but every 2018 GS350 F-Sport that is coming to the US has Mark Levinson.

From a trust worthy source, and I apologize I can't reveal the source.

Yes, positive, and it should arrive to dealers starting mid October.

That's interesting, because it's an option on the Lexus website. It must be a mistake on the website I presume???? Could this be a source from CNN possibly?

New to the Lexus website? It's notorious for things like this. You can always custom order if you don't like bundled options.

He's stating that 2018 GS F-Sports that are being shipped to the U.S. will ALL have the optional ML systems included. I was questioning the reliability of his source that states this claim. I know the factory ships dealer inventory with some options already on the car. I just question that all F-Sports will come with ML.

Not a GS, but all UL ES's I've ever seen come with ML, so not out of the question.

When someone says, from a source it has to be questioned since they won't release the validity of the source. Personally I don't believe it.
