A nice car. Shame there aren't nice engines to go with it, or I would buy one.

Tremendous thank-you's to Joe and Henry for more than making up for the botched stream.

Thanks for saving the night, guys!

I'm really liking the new GS from what I've seen tonight. The styling is growing on me, and they seem to have listened and made improvements in most of the right places. Looking forward to the F-Sport version in November, and really really looking forward to the F next year.

You wouldn't really, you're already spoken for!

I'm disappointed that we didn't get more power too. Honestly though, I'd still rather get a very fast car that is reliable than a rocket that spends half the time in the shop. Let them take their time, apply everything they've learned from the LFA and IS-F, and blow our minds next year with the GS-F.

Car looks better then I thought it would. Typical Lexus in just making subtle yet distinctive changes to the exterior. Interior also looks better then I expected. Feared it would look to Bimmer 5-ish.

But...it will take me a while to warm up to that Predator front end.

Well, I have to say I like it. Lexus did a great job, much better looking than the prototype. I can't wait to see one in person.

So hopefully the V8 version is quick and if they decide to release a GS-F it is M5/Audi S5 Fast.

"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
I guess that's all I have to say.
It has been confirmed the V8 option will be dropped from the GS lineup. The GSF if they make it will most likely get a V8 but it will also be very expensive.



Not GS related but I just read Ridley Scott is doing a prequel or sequel to "Bladerunner", could not help but pass that info after seeing your quote
