Forgot about old SC and Supra side by side. I'm actually very confused why Toyota/Lexus came up first with RC parts big Frankenstein and collaborating with BMW/Supra twins platform, rather than doing Supra+SC combo together like they did in the 90s. Maybe they learned something. Or maybe supra is to spawn another coupe above RC, oh wait we already have LC... See, confusing. Seems like such a waste, unless RC was deemed as absolutely immediately necessary by market demand or need to use production capacity.
Im sure they know better.

RC actually is almost bang on in sales with SC, mid teens, definitely under 20k, but its cheaper of course
