Review
The 2016 Lexus GS F Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With 1 trim on offer, the Lexus GS F has a base MSRP of $84,600. It competes directly with the BMW 5 series 550i, the Audi S6, and the Infiniti Q70 V8. Only a 5.0L V8 engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 467 horsepower and 389 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds, the GS F maintains a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG. Lexus offers the GS F in 8 stunning colors, with the Matador Red Mica being a particular favorite of ours.
Exterior9.9/10
The Lexus GS luxury performance sedan for 2016 is not for the shy, as the Lexus L-Finesse design theme results in a boldly styled piece of road-going art. It leads with a bold new front-end treatment that is becoming the Lexus corporate face.- KelleyBlueBook
The Lexus is easily the best looking car in the competition. It grabs the eye as no other car does. The spindle shape grill inspired from Japanese origami, the sharp pointy day time running LED lights along with the shiny headlights all add up to the drama of the front fascia of the car.
The well laid and proportionate dimensions of the sedan give it a clean look and a great street presence. The sedan has an aggressive stance and it always looks like it is ready to come off the line when the light turns green at the signal.
The Cadillac is the longest car of the lot measuring 197.6 inches and also the widest measuring 74.5 inches. The BMW is the tallest car off the lot measuring 57.3 inches.
