Default Do i need it , NO, do i want it , YES

i'll be giving up some options, i'll need to put 19's or 20's on her... and the ultra white F Sport in front of it was just to damn expensive 90K. it's the NGP (obvious) with the light gray interior/shimamoku espresso wood. the wheel caps are not even on it yet everythings in the trunk, fresh off the boat with 6 miles on the ODO. no ML, but when i turned on the car and hit the SAT CH.44 backspin (old school music) the premium system sounds amazing, i researched and learned that the LS has a sound signal processor. i would love to have that F Sport...

not for 90K. i'm thinking spacers and bigger wheels, tint. it has the comfort pckg, 4 zone climate concierge. and BSM, accessory pckg. do i need it, NO, do i want it, YES... it's been reserved for me until Fri. i told them that's when i'll give them the answer.

What I always say is to trust your own INSTINCTs. You know you want it and if you didn't then you would not bother thinking about it and instead would enjoy the GS F-Sport. Maybe you want something more comfortable yet sporty so I say GO FOR IT!

Do it...bro, my wife knows I love it, she saved me an ad in a magazine and gave it to me when I landed. White F-sport. But like you said 90k with options....egads....and for me bigger than the cost it opens up a slew of doors on what else to get. Also haven't seen any good deals on it yet and I wish it offered the red leather.

But I am in love with the LS F-sport, first LS I can really see myself driving. If you can do it bro, I say do it!!!!!

I'm usually all for the yolo thing but I say wait. What if all our hopes and dreams come true and a GSF is around the corner. Good things come to those who wait; and those who can afford it lol.

90 stacks is . only black interior for the F Sport. i agree that the cost can also offer different options... like an Alpina B7.

the GSF would be around the same price... maybe 5-10 stacks less...

If you're anything like me, once you get it under your skin you'll have to have it...or you'll just obsess over it until you do.

I have intentionally not driven the 2013 LS lol The guy that sold me the GS tried to get me to, but its like I told them...they moved my cheese LOL

I would give you one piece of advice. Get the F Sport you really want if you can. Its more money I know, but you're just going to get into the LS and then want the F Sport, and if you trade out of the LS and into the LS F Sport its going to be more expensive than just biting the bullet now and getting that F Sport.

yes... Once it's under my skin like an Alabama tic, I can't seem to pic it off until I am in possession of what it is I want. I've test driven the 2013 LS F Sport and the base. I like them both. The F Sport a little more, although i wouldn't be disappointed with the base model. This will be my first LS.

90k for a sport seems steep. Rather get a 600

We're not pressuring you or anything, but DO IT!

I put my name down at my local dealer to go and test drive one once they get one in,( they've only had one f-sport before), and after getting persuaded by a salesperson about the 3000 differences between my car and the new one, I was exited Don't have the dough, but I have the desire!

I mean just the extra padded seats, and higher watts in the seat cooler does it for me
