Agree.

Makes me think Lexus will bring an ISF and they're committed to the F brand.
I wouldn't even want to try and guess.

In BMW terms, this would be the equivalent of M division discontinuing the M550i so they could create a 350i M Sport with the same engine. They are just all over the place with the branding. But what counts is the actual product, and I suspect this car is going to be very popular since it will now be the only one in the segment with a V8, and it's a naturally aspirated V8 at that. As I said in the other thread, this is what they should have produced back in 2016. The GS-F was always seen as underpowered for how it was branded. This product will be the exact opposite.
