I like how the marketing department masks the difference between a real "F" performer and a "F-sport" sport style.
Reread my post; I was very clear.

I know the difference between my wife's F-Sport, and the IS F.

I MUCH prefer the look if the RC F over the IS F.

I find it hilarious that a few IS F owners are so threatened by the RC F. It's a different car for a different consumer.

I had a chance to see the RC-F in person at the DFW auto show this weekend.

Outside its a beautiful car.

Inside killed it for me. The huge bar across the center of the dash just did not flow well and ruined it.

The F Sports both IS and RC are not that quick. They arent slow by any means. The IS 350 F Sport is quicker than the RC. I have friends who own both. They are very nice vehicles. For $50K and $50+K they are quite disappointing IMO.

You've got this one all wrong. The ISF guys are disappointed, not threatened. The RCF is defiantly a different car for a different customer...

Nothing about my post is biased. Do some research and drive the car for yourself. There is nothing you can say that I wont disprove with pure fact about the car. Im a consistent Lexus customer and had a deposit on a Carbon TVD RCF until I actually drove one.

I own an RCF carbon. I've driven ISF's. I MUCH prefer the RCF over the ISF. Disprove that.

Nothing to disprove there. Discussion has already been made and it comes down to preference. That said, Lexus needs to make some serious improvements during the life-cycle of the RCF to make it a true contender.
