So, the question is if Lexus is not capable to even go higher in power than the M5, I consider GS F is already obsolete. Why would Lexus claim their GS F is a M5 fighter ??

Although Lexus GS is the BMW 5 series competitor and the GS F is the high performance GS series, but I believe most likely is 550 competitor and not M5 fighter...

the only reason Toyota makes the F series (from day one) is to take away the customers who have been buying the RS, AMG & M cars.

I remembered reading over at the Lexus forum (last year) that the head of Toyota wants this GS F to be their crowning achievement in Lexus nameplate.

Haha... I like the way you call them (Lexus) TOYOTA
I think Lexus (Toyota ) has been successful to achieve the goal in case of IS-F or maybe RC-F to compete with RS4/5, M3/M4, C63, but they are far from any competition with RS6/7 or MB E/CL/CLS/SL AMG or M5/M6

476 & 510 HP, just as predicted. No way they would let the C outshine it's bigger brothers.

I just got a '15 C class loaner and was impressed ! Can't wait for the new C63! BMW M3/4 definitely will have a very strong competitor ...

Two more days until the reveal, hopefully it delivers close to the same sound.

I sat in a couple 2015 C300's at the local Merc dealer this month - very impressed with the fit and finish of the interior.

Can't wait to see/hear the C63.. bummed no plans to ship the Touring model to the US market. I believe it would do well here...

And the amount of people that will dump their M4/M3 for this car will be:...
