Default Toyota to make the Lexus GS-F.

The LF-A will be available early to middle of next year, and shortly after, the 500-hp GS-F will debut as well:

^ It will most likely be under $200K. Carrera GT was more like $400K and out of production. Regardless of price, it's nice to see Toyota jumping into the sports car segment again, even if most people can't afford it. But sooner or later, they'll follow up with much more affordable sports cars.

I want a 550hp LS460(LS600?). You can keep the GS. I'd rather have the IS or LS.

hell i would settle for the current LS460 right now... i used to drive the ls400... and it was a dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam... i can only imagine the technology jumps lexo has made in 13 years.

i will definitely be buying a ls460 used at some point in my life... love love love the LS

The GS isn't much bigger than the IS in interior room. An LS hot rodded with a great dual nature (arse hauling mode 1/cruise-comfort mode 2) would be a very interesting car that I would consider as a future purchase. The 380hp LS is a nice car now, but pretty bland from a driving pleasure standpoint.

Nice. A bit surprising Lexus is playing in that field. Improve the brand image I suppose.

Hopefully it will come out next year. I haven't heard anything about Toyota choosing a LF-A production plant yet.
