Outstanding Setup on This RC-F!

TXSTYLE · 01-28-2016, 10:56 AM

This particular Lexus gets my attention. I'm still not a fan of the grill. If only they would close it off right below the L symbol and color match the car. But, the color, drop, wheels, exhaust does this vehicle some justice. I'd hit it!
The 4th pic below is the "money shot!"

Boy that thing has a big honker

Em135eye · 01-28-2016, 11:25 AM

A slammed car on daft rims and tyres that weighs more than the Moon. No thanks.

Rear looks good. Front looks awful.

meehowhow · 01-28-2016, 11:37 AM

I can dig it.

davis449 · 01-28-2016, 12:00 PM

I'm not big on the RC-F given what I've read about how it drives compared to what the commercials are trying to sell you. That said, I am just waiting for Lexus to give me an IS that has a turbo six and I'm out of the European car game.

Golddots · 01-28-2016, 12:02 PM

I prefer the isf sedan.

I like the wheels, but not for me.

Too fast and furious, and everyone knows that car wouldn't exist without the M3.

E30toF30 · 01-28-2016, 12:45 PM

Still does nothing for me unfortunately. I don't ever remeber a Lexus doing much for me for that matter. That grill though lol.

What a weird thing to say. The M3 wouldn't exist without its competitors either, seeing as BMW built it to compete with the Merc 190E and Audi Quattro.

A million years ago. They made a competitor and have been failing since 2008

i like the rc-f. i wouldn't get one because of the cars it competes with seem more appealing. still a good car and i'm sure it wouldn't disappoint. i think it should be about 15 grand cheaper. most showrooms have it around $80k.

Totally agree with you here. Pricing is too high. $60k would be perfect.

BUT... I like that it is "different". We all know it will solid mechanically and maintenance. And the interior is actually the nicest in it's class IMO. These seats are s e x.

Fully agree, performance aside, look wise, it's just "trying to hard" in my opinion.

Blackraven · 01-29-2016, 01:19 PM

It looks great imho

Alen E90 · 01-29-2016, 02:31 PM

To be honest I think it looks great!

Nothing comes close to the Z4MC...

mikex25 · 01-30-2016, 10:30 AM

I actually feel the rcf isn't very photogenic but in person not too bad.

lowbudgethero · 01-30-2016, 12:57 PM

I actually love the looks of rc in person, the front looks a little too spaceshipy, but everything else is spot on. I like when a car maker tries to design something as opposed to trying to make something that doesn't offend anyone. Too bad they are way too heavy for the small amount of power they have and they don't even have the cargo room to make up for it. The only thing they really have going for it is comfort and legendary reliability.

Rear end looks good .. Rest is ugly.
