According to the car mags it's underwhelming to drive. Problem is, it's still a Lexus.
It's so underpowered compared to the German competition (who tend to underrate power) and unimpressive. I will applaud Lexus for going in a new direction and style, definitely would not have seen this coming from the '90s.
If you can stand a sedan supposedly the GS-F drives quite a bit better and only weighs <100lbs more.
Disagree even my mother would reject that but ugly thingSorry OP but that thing has a face only a mother could love. Woof.

I talked to an in-law who is an exec with Lexus. He told me that the original plan was to put he LFA engine in the GS-F as all the costs involved in the development of that V10 were already amortized. Then it was shelved for a while and when the decision finally came down to making the GS-F, for time reasons, they went with the V8.
That made me so sad to hear.
The extra Lexus cars the problem is they are priced slightly less than the BMWs teir wise
Rc200 to 428
Rc350 to 435
Ad rcf to m4
But their engines are all pretty ancient other than the 200 so they perform one tier down. Plus they are heavy cars to begin with.
The 350 and 5.0 v8 are the same engines that came out in 2006 and time has made them very uncompetitive

In all fairness most people who buy these fast cars can't drive worth a damn anyway.
Plus, just fyi but little known fact, most auto journalists also can't drive worth a damn.

Sure, it's relative and fast car buyers aren't necessarily the worst, but the key point is they're not driving the fast cars any faster than they would slower ones.
A good gauge of fast driving is how hard the brakes are used. Notice you rarely hear of fade, ie. the need to upgrade brakes even on pretty expensive cars, which is usually the weakest link in almost every over the counter vehicle.
