I like the way they both look overall. I give LFA the advantage for looks on the front bumper though. The LF-LC front bumper has got way too much going on. Like a hooker with way too much makeup.

Hated it at first when I saw pictures of it. Doesn't look that bad in real life, and even actually like it on some models.

I'll take your word for it. The RC looks terrible in pictures but is absolutely gorgeous in person! I don't know what it is about the new Lexus lineup. It's not very photogenic, but in person they look amazing.

Definitely agree to each his own, and I certainly wouldn't turn it away if you gave me one!

I kinda get what you are saying. The new design to some can be a little over the top when compared to the older models. But maybe over time it will grow on people. And llike @MokSpeed said, maybe after seeing a few in person, people will have a change of heart.

I hated the IS when I first saw it.
I saw it as even worse than the 2nd generation (the first generation holds a special place in my heart).
However, seeing it on the streets more and more, I've grown to find it far better looking than the Bavarians' offerings.

My wife (who is by no means a car enthusiast) even suggested we get the IS in the future (once they drop to more affordable levels).

As for the predator grille, I think Lexus gets dumped on no matter what - either they're too boring, or they're ugly ("polarizing" to be gentle).
But I think it looks great. Better than the Audi maw for sure.
And the LFA does look bland for a 375k supercar, even if it is an incredible technical achievement.
