As he demonstrates the engineering & driving dynamics, Yaguchi-san’s latest Lexus F model presents a unique question cars like the Cadillac CTS-V and BMW M5 don’t . . .

Went to go look at one of these about a week ago. The build quality is the best I have ever seen. Details on the interior are magnificent. Leather, carbon fiber and alcantara . Perfect

I think Lexus knocked it out of the park with this car. It is, to my eyes, the most successful execution of the Lexus design language, especially the tail lights, stacked exhausts, and square stance of the rear end. At the end of the day, reliability, looks, and sound, are what you really want from a car, especially something this big and with such potential to be daily driven. I would've never said this before, but I think I'd have this Lexus over any other full size premium sport sedan in the market right now. That exhaust sound!

This car is incredible.

Its embodies new technology with great handling with a high tech and high strung NA V8 engine. The sounds is beautiful just like the LFA was. Lexus has become extremely passionate about performance... if they stay on this path of relentless pursuit of performance great cars will come. For a brand to only be 25 years old thats makes cars like this and LFA ? Hats off to Lexus keep up the good work.

Lexus is the performance Japanese brand of Japan. Jermery Clarkson had this GSF for a week and said the GSF has the M3 and M5 both beat. Hats off to Lexus for building a drivers car and not a car about numbers.

You can smell BMW lovers they want to hate Lexus.
Well done Moto man once again excellent review.
Will buy this Lexus any time.

Here we are 8 years later and the debate has not changed. (Except instead of just Naturally Aspirated and Forced Induction to consider, EVs have entered the chat.) With everything to consider, I'll still vote for old school natural aspiration, because Sound. Still. Sells. 🤩💙

[eleganz]

Damn, he was having a really great time driving this. Haven't seen Motoman this happy in a review before.

[MrMustangrick]

Lexus GS F.  Love my 2013 GS 350,   for the quality,   ride and handling,  interiorand reliability.

[jmullerxx]

my dad came home today in this car in the exact same color but red interior.... i was in shock but we have had lexus cars for years but it is a stunning car in person!!

[Tully]

Game time!! Every time MotoMan says 'Yoguchsun', take a swig of rice wine. Bottoms up (and expect to have a headache in a couple hours). :)

[mattpradj]

You are one of the most exciting auto reviewer to watch in youtube. Definitely need more subs. Love all the tidbits you include during the review from the car history and its designer’s train of thought.

[kulendranselvathampu]

I would choose the Lexus GS F because the engine sounds better than the CTS-V, E63 AMG, and M5 and it looks way better than CTS-V, E63 AMG, and M5.

[TeutonicSpeedracer]

Lexus.... reliability and ownership cost and experience.

[tbomb]

I dont think I have ever heard a description of and engine quite like "full on, Mexican Coke"! Awesome

[mquiling]

Id take the gs f cause of reliability and great customer service .

[michaelmorgan]

The Lexus, because it’s fast, good looking, and the big thing is the dependability!!!

[lmmbjt]

hi great review,  GSF every time for me, already got 2014 GS so yes will look at the GSF next year.

[shyn]

I"LL take the GSF .. why? 1. pure v8 muscle.. no turbo 2. reliability.. turbo's are good for 3-4 years then the maintenance on them is expensive... lexus reliability is bulletproof. 3. Awesome sound of the exhaust.

[dantheman]

we need the isf back. just imagine how it would look with an f body kit and quad tips

[ttemoj]

A fantastic review, yeah i can do with out the yelling etc. That's what gives it finesse!

[jeremyjohnston]

Will take anything Lexus over the boring Germans any day of the week. Love our new RX350F-Sport!!
