2016 lexus gs f now with 25 percent less aggro

The upcoming Lexus GS F retains the IS-F’s intense shade of blue, but lacks the bulging fenders, giant wheels and other visual cues that scream “please take me seriously as an M3 competitor”.

Using the RC F’s 5.0L V8 and 8-speed automatic, the GS F will be positioned as a rival to the BMW M5, the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and the Audi S6. It will be the only super sedan to offer a naturally aspirated V8 as well.

I'm with krhodes1 here- I am failing to see the point of these cars. F30/IS/ATS etc are the size of what I think of an M5 etc to be. These are huge. The extra performance/edge of this over a GS350 or an M5 over even a 535i (let alone a 550i) is wasted

If its priced well it should be competitive. It is not really an M5 competitor IMO, its a Sport 550i ($66k) competitor which is good. Although its amazing how much car/engine a Charger 392 is for the money. You can get his kind of speed for $35,000 less. The used car market is only going to get better :)

Formula m How many Hyundai and Kia’s do not have the original engine block it left the factory with 10yrs prior?
1995 SC I will say that year 29 has been a little spendy on my car (Motor Mounts, Injectors and a Supercharger Service since it had to come off for the injectors, ABS Pump and the tool to cycle the valves to bleed the system, Front Calipers, rear pinion seal, transmission service with a new pan that has a drain, a gaggle of capacitors to fix the ride control module and a replacement amplifier for the stereo. Still needs an exhaust manifold gasket. The front end got serviced in year 28. On the plus side blank cassettes are increasingly easy to find so I have a solid collection of 90 minute playlists.

Jeff Tesla should not be allowed to call its system Full Self-Driving. Very dangerous and misleading.
