This is by far the best Japanese luxury and performance sedan on the market. By far... no other sedan from any other Japanese marker can touch this. Nothing from infinti damn sure nothing from acura. This is also the most powerful japense sedan on sale in America.
A car that has better time 0-60 alone does not mean the car is the best. A good sports sedans need to have performance, sporty design, luxury, comfortability, fun n excitment, refinement, affordability, low maintenance costs, and most importantly RELIABILITY. Im sure lexus checks all of rhe above. Euro cars have the worse reliability and high maintenance costs. That alone is a deal breaker for me and many smart folks.
So what if Bmw and mb sell more than lexus? So u know. Most people buy bmw n mb for the prestige image and brand. Euro cars are just overpriced pos. Only thing they have going is better performance. Nothing else. Most of them have buyers remorse but not lexus owners. I had 2 bmws before. These are facts. Not an opinion. If u do your research, ull know. Obviously u didnt.
@@boolji lol. Sorry man. Got carried away. Just sharing informations. Advice. Do research before u invest in an expensive car that you dont want to have remorse.
If you ever wonder why you never got a chance to drive one, heck even seen one ever on the streets, well, is production numbers is your answer. 3200 Lexus GS F left its assembly line total for global markets during its 2016-2020 production time out of which 2484 were made for US. This car is rare as rare gets.
700 rhd ones .. which i own one of .. about 200 lhd gs-f have been totalled and think was about 75 of the rhd models .. the gs 460 [ again own one as a daily driver] production numbers are less than the gs-f believe it or not .. '08 .. 1616 units gs460 .. 09 - 13 .. only between 40-70 units a yr .. so in total not quite 2000 .. so glad got the gs-f .. took a while find a nz new one [im in new zealand ] and yes will be very collectable .. suppose they are already ..
About a week ago I lined up with a M4, and we were a dead match until around 70mph… dude slowly walked away, but I’d take my GSF every day of the week. Afterwards we chatted at the next stoplight, and I asked him if he knew what I was driving. He said “hell yes dude I almost bought one!”
I still wonder when car maker will understand we don;'t need anything but MIRRORING function for phone lol Just like TV..Display whatever shows on our phone!
I have a 98 Lexus GS 400 V8 with 218000 miles silver with chrome rims, grey leather interior no rips, leaks or rust. I drove it from Tampa to Atlanta and back two times last year. It still ride like a new car.
Yemi I came from a BMW 550 to a GSF. Everyone likes to talk numbers but when you’re in the BMW shop every other weekend sitting in the lobby and constantly stressing over every noise when you’re driving it - they aren’t “better”. I had to take my 550 in to the dealer 6 times for tie rods and steering rack issues in 6 months.
It literally comes down to preferences. Is maintenance and $$$ not a problem? Go with BMW! It's more fun to drive of course & a little more appealing to the eye. But, if you want piece of mind, reliability, some less fun on the pedal and luxury? Go Lexus!
It has VGRS steering so the steering gets heavier at high rpm, high speeds and also in sport+ mode. If you are puttering at slow speeds in the city especially in non-sport+ mode, it will feel light. It gets dramatically heavier in sport+ and once the car goes into 6000+ rpm range. At least, it does in my RCF so I assume the GSF has the same steering system.
I really dislike when people compare these to track focused performance based M cars.These are powerful luxury cars with some sport. Their not as hyper focused like M and AMG.Its Lexus the people who made the LFA.If they wanted to truly challenge M and AMG they would. These are powerful luxury cars that provide good acceleration with luxury and comfort and class a little above your average v6 twin turbo v6 family car like the stinger gt and the BMW 4 series.Now Lexus should be giving these cars 500 hp and less weight but they dont they focus on powerful reliable get back to work and back luxury cars unlike AMG and M and audi RS that are all about perfomance figures.No..this wont beat an M3 or Rs3 or c63 .damn that's alot of 3s lol but it will as rape your neighbors v6 mustang and your other neighbors 335i.nice video by the way
The rr racing rcf smokes porsche around track let alone m3’s rs’3 come on... is all modifications!!! Any car can be track focus just mod it ... what’s the different between a Toyota nascar and a bmw nascar??
@@a1234ddf what huh? I've yet to see any rcf touch really any m3s or RS3s on tracks let alone drag. That even the RS3 platform itself would wipe the floor with the rcf for how fast they are with some mods done to them.
@@carboydorifutoparty3976 RS3 is very quick but not really in the same category as this Lexus. Its a larger more comfortable car, and the interior is more luxurious. I have compared them and its more compatible to a Audi S6.... Its more money than a RS3, and you can tell why when you compare interiors.. bit more plastic in the RS3 although it is very nice for its category..
@@a1234ddf who wants to spend 100k on a car that you have to mod to compete with others? Its not all about doing mods... I want to buy a car and be done with it, not bring it to the shop and get new suspension and engine mods and void the warranty... People that buy these dont care about that, they just want a nice luxury car that is reliable and also fast enough.. thats what this is. Out of the box its a very nice car, and goes fast enough for most people.
Yes it's comparable. It's slower. It lasts 30 years longer. And it's better in quality. 👌🏽 Any time lexus over any modern German pile of junk that falls apart after 4 or 5 years
I still like this car, a lot. The quality, reliability, engine, are all great, but the car is simply outgunned when comparing it to the M5 or E63. It has one of the worst infotainment systems going too. Still though, there is something about that can't be denied.
Afro Centauri that $10000 can be spent on just a few visits to a repair shop on a bmw so down the road owning bmw is not cheaper than owning a Lexus and BMW depreciates like a hooker
Ok GS350 is not gonna vanquish a M or AMG.... My little F Sport may shake a Taurus SHO or something like that but that’s about it. I’m on my fourth one and am completely sold on this platform.
No matter how much you sing the GS's praises in this review, Lexus is still discontinuing it. The good thing is, it will be around on the streets for awhile because of it's reliability and build quality.
It is not an M5 competitor and should not be considering the price difference, but it is about 400 lbs lighter than M5. It is more of an M-Sport 550 competitor price wise and it does extremely well against the m550 in both handling and acceleration. RCF, which is lighter, smaller, faster and stiffer competes against the M4 as it should be. The RCF track edition was created for track rats that want all of the standard Lexus goodness.
I know right it’s like they are ripping people off big time . I mean look at the interior they give you some super outdated shit. You look back at the older models and it still looks the same they just upgrade the looks on the exterior and slap on a ridiculous price tag and fuck you over. Atleast with the Mercedes Benz they switch up there interiors completely every other 2 years or so. But look at Lexus like you said they got stuck in 2012. Better off buying a Camry TRD for what Lexus cost !!!
Cannot compare to BMW; the GSF is way better!!LOL.. If your goal is to go fast in a very expensive and completely unreliable sport the go with BMW. If you want a great car that will go fast and last many years, then buy Lexus.
Who cares if it's not as fast or sporty as a German. 90% of the buyers would not go near a track nor afford the upkeep to take it to the track. Not like you can push cars on regular public roads.
No why would you compare this to a BMW??? BMW isn’t even on the same league as this car. This car is perfect. BMW is shit. I’ve own 3 BMW and every single one of them won’t last 50k miles without any bs problem. Lexus> BMW.
Compare? Only thing bmw and Mercedes has on lexus is price and living off thier name lol. Both are over priced incredibly and ppl only buy for status. Reliability,price, aggressive, forward design while bmw and Mercedes barelg changed in 20 years..mercedes is incredibly boring and bmw is just barely making changes to thier designs finally.
I have both lexus and bmw and when I go to the bmw dealership for service, I am floored by how alluring bmw cars are. Mybank account likes Lexus . But my heart is with bmw. The G S f could have used a better looking body
Also I really like the infotainment screen being shielded I really dislike the stand out pop up screen . I like my screens to be hidden from the sun sometimes I find it unbearable to look at.
@Rob K. The interior of the Lexus might be nicer but please don't compare a BMW or Mercedes to a Toyota, the only reason Lexus still exist in 2020 is for its reliability, but putting an M5 with a Lexus excluding the LFA is an insult and ignorant
I used to own BMW's and be a huge BMW fan, after all the issues and lack of support from BMW I will never buy another one. We now drive lexus and I will never look back, sure the germans will beat it in pure performance but that's it. I find lexus much more comfortable, feels better quality everywhere, and actually more fun to drive on actual roads(maybe not on a race track). Honesty I roll my eyes everytime I hear a BMW fanboy talk about lexus because I was one once.
Rob K. What??the new m5 interior is nice. And the tech is light years beyond Lexus. I can’t believe the infotainment on the gsf, straight from the previous decade. That being said Gsf is a decent car with sweet na v8, and reliability . Very nice interior also except for the steering wheel-come on Lexus, your gsf and rcf cannot have The same damn steering wheel as an is250. That’s just wrong. It’s also much slower than even an m550i (523hp, 3.8 0-60) Ps I had, have, lexuses and bmws and are fans of both brands.
Rob K. Huh? Why bring lc500 Into this? I love that car . That one is a lot nicer than the Gsf . I’d take the lc500 over the m850i for sure. This is strictly about Gsf and it’s outdated tech and not that fast. Stay on point if you want to debate geesh. Owned LS400, is350, isf, rx 450h; bmw335i,f80 M3, f80M 3 with zcp, m550i. Which part of I’m a fan of both brands don’t u get? Just keeping it real. Lexus is very reliable and interior is decent (unless you go up to lc500 then interior is GREAT), and tech is old. Engines old- that’s why they are reliable. Both great brands for complete different reasons. If I had to drive across the country I’m taking the Lexus. No questions. If I’m going for a fun drive (including mundane errands in town) I’m taking bmw and I do every time.
Rob K. Bro what are you on? Look around the seat controls, dash and the door panels, definitely not even 5 series level... better than 3 but not 5 at all. Don’t compare Lexus to a BMW!
On the top end it would deff give a m550i a hard time after 100mph..quarter mile the 550 would deff probly win but on the highway these 5.0 v8 really move
@@mji9208 I mean I just checked the stats and those m550i have 523hp so yes it deff would beat the lexus plus with the torque of the twin turbos. But the Lexus would deff beat a 340i on the top end .as for the new m550i eh idk probly not maybe your right .I'm thinking of the older m550i I guess
A faster time 0-60 or 1/4 does not make a car a good car! Most of u are not fast n furious street racers. Has to do with refinement, quality, comfortability, performance, style n design, excitment, fun, low maintenance costs, and most importantly RELIABILITY. Lexus checks all of these. Not so much for euro cars.
Beautiful. The cheapest low mileage one I can find is $60k plus tax fee, 2019 20k miles. Unfortunately my wife didn’t want to take my 2017 ES350, otherwise I would buy that GSF. Wrote a $51K check in April on a 2024 NX350H instead.
Everytime I find one for sale it sells instantly! Clearly people love these and so do I! Yes Lexus has to update some things (chrome window trims need to be black, infotainment needs to be touchscreen with CarPlay) but it has all the other things that the competition lacks(awesome NA V8, amazing sound, aggressive styling, and reliability!) I drove some and it’s a phenomenal driving experience!
both have different ways of attracting people ....lexus with its reliability and less exhausting but limited performance .....whereas bmw is a lot more zippy ...it pushes its engines to the extremes .....the logic is simple for bmw ....why would you not keep up with the newer tech features and the new looks....for lexus a new model is an option for you if you have the money otherwise the old one will keep going ....both are doing good in terms of business........a lexus GSF is probably the beast in lexus's standards ...not by bmw
Lexus will probably put down the LS500 like an old dog too in a couple of years. I don't see that many of them here in Los Angeles. Or the ES model. Only SUVs. If you have the means, hurry up and buy one now, before it's too late.
It looks like a bigger is. Thats the problem. The GS deserves its own look and characteristics like the 2nd and 3rd gen. There is a huge Community 2nd gen and 3rd gen owners till this day. Why? Cause it was its own car. Nothing looked like it. If they did that it would of never been discontinued. When people buy a car like this? They want it to be one of a kind. Specially when the GS always did. I own an 08 with only 54k miles on it. People till this day think its a brand new lexus. Sad that they went away from the GS being its own.
I love Lexus to death but I'm sorry the exterior and interior definitely did not compete with the germans. The transmission, the engine, the performance is all beautiful, however besides the driving experience it doesn’t live up to the Germans. Like for example the dumbass infotainment system. Lexus dropped the ball 🙁☹️
Beautiful car 😍 . Unfortunately Lexus in it's infinite wisdom,👎and because customers are not lining up to buy this car, has decided that this will be the last year they will produce the GS-F or the GS. Seems all people are interested in are SUVs. The ones smart enough or wealthy enough to buy these wonderful cars will be very happy, 🙂happier if they maintain and keep these examples as they will only increase in value. Provided they don't trash them
i own gen3 lexu gs350 and gs350 F... love the 2020 GS-F interior black and white but i prefer break calib orange it's more stand out.. lastly i had watch many other channels comparing GS-F vs M-power... lexus is no near nor close to M3.. comparing to M5 in an insult to bmw.. i am a lexus fan but i also know my stuff that lexus can't compete with M-power..
Looks and stances amazing Sounds better than any current M car Can't even compared the reliability lol But it's slower than M5 and M3s and it's not in the same tech levels of BMWs
Just watch the video nice car but I know Lexus can do better they wait to long to do a update are refresh to stay competitive I believe if they gave this car attention it wouldn’t be discontinued
I've been fortunate enough to own an M4, an RCF, an M3 Comp. Pack, and a GSF. The GSF sounded the best, was the roomiest and most practical of the bunch, and all things considered (in my opinion) the best of the bunch. Note - the transmission of the GSF is nowhere near as quick as the DCT on the M3/4, but certainly quick enough for everyday use) 🙂👍🙏
Sad to see this model go away. I currently own a GS350 85k on the odometer. No issues, maintenance is all I have had to worry about. Highly recommended!
Nowhere near the performance of the much faster M5. Get the M5 with a warranty. Anybody who can spend $80,000 on a performance sedan isn't worried about reliability.
Sporty and RELIABLE. Worth spending your money.
Toyota reliability has no competition, not even BMW.
The handling is just a bit low compared to BMW , but as far as reliability- Lexus
This is by far the best Japanese luxury and performance sedan on the market. By far... no other sedan from any other Japanese marker can touch this. Nothing from infinti damn sure nothing from acura. This is also the most powerful japense sedan on sale in America.
For reliability I would get it over the bmw
Exactly!
Lexus is making a huge mistake by stopping this GS 💔
No one's buying them , that's just how the market is

Which part of I’m a fan of both brands don’t u get? Just keeping it real. Lexus is very reliable and interior is decent (unless you go up to lc500 then interior is GREAT), and tech is old. Engines old- that’s why they are reliable.
Both great brands for complete different reasons.
If I had to drive across the country I’m taking the Lexus. No questions.
If I’m going for a fun drive (including mundane errands in town) I’m taking bmw and I do every time.

Bro what are you on? Look around the seat controls, dash and the door panels, definitely not even 5 series level... better than 3 but not 5 at all. Don’t compare Lexus to a BMW!
Does not compare to an M car. Maybe the M340i. But not the M550i.
On the top end it would deff give a m550i a hard time after 100mph..quarter mile the 550 would deff probly win but on the highway these 5.0 v8 really move
carlover 247 Doubt it could hang with a 2020 M550i. Truly doubt it.
@@mji9208 I mean I just checked the stats and those m550i have 523hp so yes it deff would beat the lexus plus with the torque of the twin turbos. But the Lexus would deff beat a 340i on the top end .as for the new m550i eh idk probly not maybe your right .I'm thinking of the older m550i I guess
A faster time 0-60 or 1/4 does not make a car a good car! Most of u are not fast n furious street racers. Has to do with refinement, quality, comfortability, performance, style n design, excitment, fun, low maintenance costs, and most importantly RELIABILITY. Lexus checks all of these. Not so much for euro cars.
@@troytruong8246 if your talking performance the 340i can easily make rcf power with little to no effort.
Lexus will be discontinuing this model very soon.
Planning on getting one!!!
excellent review .. and that car is one of the best !!.. if i have the means i will be buying one. the hell with the ( SUV's 👎🏽 )
I hate suvs. Never owned one and never will for now lol.
You need to drive it hard to understand.
This shit is so much better than a bimmer
Beautiful. The cheapest low mileage one I can find is $60k plus tax fee, 2019 20k miles. Unfortunately my wife didn’t want to take my 2017 ES350, otherwise I would buy that GSF. Wrote a $51K check in April on a 2024 NX350H instead.
If only it had apple carplay
Everytime I find one for sale it sells instantly! Clearly people love these and so do I! Yes Lexus has to update some things (chrome window trims need to be black, infotainment needs to be touchscreen with CarPlay) but it has all the other things that the competition lacks(awesome NA V8, amazing sound, aggressive styling, and reliability!) I drove some and it’s a phenomenal driving experience!
Reliable and made by Toyota.
Whatever you say, I love my GSF
both have different ways of attracting people ....lexus with its reliability and less exhausting but limited performance .....whereas bmw is a lot more zippy ...it pushes its engines to the extremes .....the logic is simple for bmw ....why would you not keep up with the newer tech features and the new looks....for lexus a new model is an option for you if you have the money otherwise the old one will keep going ....both are doing good in terms of business........a lexus GSF is probably the beast in lexus's standards ...not by bmw
Lexus will probably put down the LS500 like an old dog too in a couple of years. I don't see that many of them here in Los Angeles. Or the ES model. Only SUVs. If you have the means, hurry up and buy one now, before it's too late.
It looks like a bigger is. Thats the problem. The GS deserves its own look and characteristics like the 2nd and 3rd gen. There is a huge Community 2nd gen and 3rd gen owners till this day. Why? Cause it was its own car. Nothing looked like it. If they did that it would of never been discontinued. When people buy a car like this? They want it to be one of a kind. Specially when the GS always did. I own an 08 with only 54k miles on it. People till this day think its a brand new lexus. Sad that they went away from the GS being its own.
I love Lexus to death but I'm sorry the exterior and interior definitely did not compete with the germans. The transmission, the engine, the performance is all beautiful, however besides the driving experience it doesn’t live up to the Germans. Like for example the dumbass infotainment system. Lexus dropped the ball 🙁☹️
Beautiful car 😍 . Unfortunately Lexus in it's infinite wisdom,👎and because customers are not lining up to buy this car, has decided that this will be the last year they will produce the GS-F or the GS. Seems all people are interested in are SUVs. The ones smart enough or wealthy enough to buy these wonderful cars will be very happy, 🙂happier if they maintain and keep these examples as they will only increase in value. Provided they don't trash them
Ни слова не понял но автомобиль очень хороший👍
What a beauty!
i own gen3 lexu gs350 and gs350 F... love the 2020 GS-F interior black and white but i prefer break calib orange it's more stand out.. lastly i had watch many other channels comparing GS-F vs M-power... lexus is no near nor close to M3.. comparing to M5 in an insult to bmw.. i am a lexus fan but i also know my stuff that lexus can't compete with M-power..
Looks and stances amazing
Sounds better than any current M car
Can't even compared the reliability lol
But it's slower than M5 and M3s and it's not in the same tech levels of BMWs
All that for a touch under $90000...No thanks.....Ill gladly enjoy the RLX sh-awd
just got mine last month 2018 model, only I can think of right now is to finished my Payments
The the answer is NO.
Southpark Colorado?
Dream daily. I don’t like black cars generally, and I’d probably go for the blue or red on the gsf myself, but this spec is stunning.
F is better than M. Fact
I want one!
Just watch the video nice car but I know Lexus can do better they wait to long to do a update are refresh to stay competitive I believe if they gave this car attention it wouldn’t be discontinued
No Android Auto or Apple Carplay?? 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
So, where exactly in the video did you compare GSF with BMW M ???
Boring!
I've been fortunate enough to own an M4, an RCF, an M3 Comp. Pack, and a GSF. The GSF sounded the best, was the roomiest and most practical of the bunch, and all things considered (in my opinion) the best of the bunch. Note - the transmission of the GSF is nowhere near as quick as the DCT on the M3/4, but certainly quick enough for everyday use) 🙂👍🙏
Keyword. Daily use and practicality.
I Love the Growl on that Engine when you put it on Sport Plus Mode
its like a Beast Waking up
Sad to see this model go away. I currently own a GS350 85k on the odometer. No issues, maintenance is all I have had to worry about. Highly recommended!
caviar is by-far one of the best looking color for the gsf platform.
Lexus should upgrade interior layout and infotainment system with more horsepower, then I will buy it.
thats a beautiful car and the design of the spindle grill with the mesh insert Lexus finally got it right
it is unfortunate they discontinued the GS....
Nowhere near the performance of the much faster M5. Get the M5 with a warranty. Anybody who can spend $80,000 on a performance sedan isn't worried about reliability.
When you have to spend 10-15k on matainence lol.. that's alot of money
BMW please ? Lexus IS the best car ever BMW IS JUNK NO GOOD CAR Compare with Ford or Chrysler
Cudowne auto
I want to buy a GS 350, being that it’s being DC’d should I still buy, if so what year, I am caught between the 15, 16, 17
I have a white ’18 GS 35 F Sport and I love it. Don’t procrastinate, it’s a highly sought after car now due to it’s discontinuation
Needs those updated side mirrors....still old style for 2020😣
