As a long-time Lexus owner, I disagree.
GS-F that is discontinued and failed to compete with Audi RS5, Mercedes E63, BMW M5? The same can be said for the IS-F against M3, C63, RS4.

I much prefer the GS-F to the M5. M5 is sterile and soulless in my opinion. Too focused on straight line speed. I find the GS-F to be more fun, engaging, as well as overall enjoyable. It may not be as fast or composed but those don't always equal enjoyment for me. Just because the model was discontinued doesn't mean that the car wasn't good.
