5 Reasons Why the New GS-F is So Astonishing
If you are trying to convince yourself to hop into the new GS-F, look no further.
1. Direct Shift Transmission
While the 8-speed direct shift transmission isn't exactly new (it was in the IS-F model) it adds quite a distinct sporty flavor to this luxury sedan. While in manual mode, it delivers super fast shifting capabilities, its automatic mode is sure to delight. It can downshift super fast according to how hard you are pressing the brakes. That's pretty impressive, almost as much so as when it can detect you going too hot into that curve and do the appropriate downshifting for you. It also utilizes smart stop technology that will reduce engine power when the gas pedal and the brakes are hit simultaneously. This is likely the top feature of this car that makes it stand out in the crowd.

2. Forward Collision Prevention
The Pre-Collision System (PCS) on the new GS-F is nothing short of excellence in engineering. This system comes with pedestrian detection, which initiates emergency braking with the high tech Brembo brakes that utilizes VDIM technology to prevent skids. Your safety is assured in this amazing vehicle.

3. Lane Keep Assist
The safety features of the GS-F just keep coming. The Lane Keep Assist is a system that utilizes a camera in the windshield to help maintain your position in your lane. If you start drifting, the GS-F will alert you with a buzzer while giving minor steering assistance to keep you in your lane.

4. Blind Spot Monitoring
While not a new-to-market feature, the blind spot monitor can be a life saver and the GS-F has your safety in mind. The BSM will alert you to any vehicle that is in your blind spot before you make that lane change. As an added bonus, the GS-F also comes with a rear cross traffic alert, which will help alert you to any oncoming traffic from either side when you are attempting to back out of that tight parking spot.

5. Radar Cruise Control
Welcome to the world of James Bond gadgetry. The GS-F has an adaptive radar cruise control for your driving pleasure. Instead of merely setting your speed, it knows the distance between you and the car in front, and adapting your speed to maintain that distance when the car in front decides to slow down (or speeds up). Just don't plan on taking a nap behind the wheel.
