Making its debut next week at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas will be the 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport, a slightly less mild version of the recently revealed 2013 Lexus GS 350 though a far cry from the high-performance GS F everyone is holding out for.

The 2013 Audi A4 range is out, and it will (nearly) all be coming to the U.S. within the year, including the hot S4 and the crossover-like A4 Allroad.
