An impassioned defense of the 2016 Lexus GS F, a car misunderstood

I cannot, rationally, say that you ought to buy the 2016 Lexus GS F, but I hope that a least one or two of you does. It has its share of hurdles, I know, like the love-it-or-hate-it design, not to mention the price. At $84,440 – rising, with the 17-speaker, 835W Mark Levinson audio system (which you really, really want), plus the fancy blue mica paint and a trunk mat, along with delivery, to $87,470 in total – this isn’t just a lot to pay for a Lexus, it’s a lot to pay for any luxury performance four-door.

Still, the GS F swims against the tide of fast sedans. Its naturally-aspirated V8 cocks a snook at the superchargers and turbochargers of its four-door rivals, a testament to Lexus’ reluctance to embrace such technologies until acquiescing with the NX200t a couple of years back.
