Default Lexus is trying to get serious with the F series

It doesn't work for me, as Lexus/Toyota have no racing heritage. Audi/BMW and even Mercedes have that heritage and pedigree that I think this sort of car must have. If it indeed has 500bhp, it is more than the S6, but much less than the rumored 610bhp (real output) of the RS6.

Lexus should stick with automatic near luxury cars and stop being all things to all people.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/16/rendered-speculation-lexus-gs-f/#commentform">Lexus GS-F V10 500bhp</a></li></ul>

Yeah, they should stop using the F word. Uncivilized.

You could also consider the crash protection of a Nissan or lack thereof.

Default I Agree

It is very important to have a good racing heritage etc in these sort of cars. Unfortunately a large number of people are too ignorant nowadays and don't even know or care about a cars pedegree which is a shame.

I wouldn't worry about the F series, the only place it will likely sell in numbers is America with Europe etc not going near it.
