Lexus GS F vs Cadillac CTS-V Sedan 

At the same price tag as the Lexus GS F, the Cadillac CTS-V offers a lot more power and much better performance than the Lexus. The Cadillac even offers a similar space and level of luxury on the inside, as well as a similar offering of technology. Because of this, we pick the Cadillac CTS-V.

Lexus GS F vs Mercedes-AMG E43

The Mercedes-AMG E43 is $10,000 cheaper than the Lexus GS F and is slightly less in power mode but offers similar performance. The interiors are as luxurious as what Lexus is offering, and Merc is known to offer some of the best interiors in the automotive industry. As it is cheaper with a similar performance, we say the Mercedes-AMG E43 is a much better offering.

Lexus GS F vs Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat

The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is the muscle car sedan offering from Dodge. With nearly 250 hp more and being $20,000 cheaper, the Dodge Charger SRT hellcat does have similar offerings when it comes to interior and technology, whereas its performance is much much better than what Lexus GS F is offering, and the winner of this battle is the Dodge Charger SRT hellcat.

The 2017 Lexus GS F brings you enhanced drivability, comfort, and the peace of mind Lexus buyers enjoy. This car is an improvement from last year’s GS F. The long-awaited adaptive variable suspension makes the ride more comfortable, and the drive modes make driving more precise. The cabin is fairly crafted to deliver maximum comfort, but the bulk of it was reserved for the front seats. As a luxury sedan, the car is rightly priced but missed out on delivering the right firepower.
