hmm I don't know - theres already a good choice to choose from already; BMW M5/M6GC, Audi RS6/RS7, Merc E63/CLS63, Jag XF-R & XF-RS ...
I don't know why someone would choose this over the others?
Well it's the only one without a turbocharger and it's likely to be peerlessly reliable.I don't know why someone would choose this over the others?
I think there's little that's rational in this sort of market though. People will buy whichever car they want, regardless of practical/technical concerns.

Perhaps because it's not one of those! The aftercare is apparently second to none too.I don't know why someone would choose this over the others?
Long time Lexus LS owner (second one now).
Lexus were accused of being too beige, and so they bring out some funky cars (LFA?). And now that they are one of the few manufacturers that persist with NA, they just cant seem to get past people snobbery. Toyota? Pfft.
If this is a Toyota, then bring it on. Any ~500bhp toyota is a good thing. I seem to recall someone driving an Ultima with a twin turbo lexus v8 engine putting out 1400 bhp - all from a stock block. I dare say these engines are massively under stressed, with loads of potential, should owners want to go there.
Forget the aftermarket though, for just a moment.
Who wants to be yet another in a german car? I mean, wheres the originality? Want to be a lemming, go for it. Want to tell people you can think for yourself and not run with the predictable...
Massive respect.

Is an estate too much to ask for?
Please Lexus, please!
For some reason Lexus are reluctant to do estates Please Lexus, please!
Lexus is missing a lot by not having an answer to RS6 Avant and E63 estate.
I'd love to buy a 2nd hand GS but since I need an estate it's off the list. Shame.
