Way too much money for it. Even if the RCF is in the 70s you could have used 911, new Cayman S, used Z06, proven sports cars.

my mom has a new (2013? i think lol) ES350. the rear spoiler is falling off at the 3M tape points. I imagine it is also held on with bolts since it hasn't fallen off yet. She doesn't care enough to bring it in to get fixed lol

I will say I saw this car at the NY auto show and that front end does look much better in person then the pictures make it be.

Do it. The RCF is an amazing car. And like the previous poster said, the car in person is much better than pictures. I love the new spindle grilles that Lexus is doing.

Lexus has targeted the curb weight at under 3,968 lbs.

Ew.

And has been said above for >$60k you can get a lot of sports car.

Just wondering, but all the people calling the front end hideous, have you actually seen the car in person?

from past experience, there is zero aftermarket options for lexus. Sure there are some high end hks parts and blitz parts. but you are looking 10k just to mod the engine.

another thing is that lexus has millions of options before you pruchase the vehice. Meaning, you will be spending well over 10k in options alone.

ClubLexus has already stated a starting price tag of $70k.

Reviews aren't even out yet. I like the front end, and its going to look way better in person. Can't wait to see this car side by side a BRZ! It looks like it's based off of or a complete upgrade to the GT86, but it's NOT the same platform.

D4-S shows up again in this car. I bet the tuning potential will be huge.

Are they showing the actual stock wheel height? Great wheel setup.

X2, a lot of people said they didn't like the new face of Lexus on paper/photo. But than saw it in person and had a change of heart.
