The internet is great at spending other people's money. Enjoy the RC-F in good health!

I am already working on a draft of how I am going to convince the wife that I NEED one!

This is the internet. Cars are like women. Every guy will post a million reasons why one is better than the other, completely ignoring any facts or logic that may exist one way or the other.

Emotion is the number one selling point of cars when you get past the "point A to B" aspect.

Congrats OP, hope you like the car!

So true. Also, some things grow on you, while others fade away.

If you had an opportunity to buy an R8 .... you should have. Just sayin.

Keep in mind that Lexus consistently has one of the highest scores for initial and long term reliability of any brand on the market.

While he could have "dropped that mad loot on an LS7 tricycle", he's getting a monster of a car which will probably also go for 250K without any issues.

I would have bought thirty-seven Miatas.

Congrats on the.. uh.. preorder I guess. I'm a big fan of the RCF. Especially in orange or blue.

The weight, wheels and more so the front end of the RC-F is a boner killer for me.

It will be a nice luxury car however and will really have no nagging issues for sure.

The fact its auto only kills it off for me....

tennisfreak · 11-21-2014, 12:01 PM

Congrats OP nice choice.

I was strongly considering doing the same thing you are doing.

Then Toyota confirmed the FT-1 is a go (I think last week or week before) and I decided to hold out for that as I have been dreaming of a next gen Supra for years now.

If it had not been for the FT-1 I would see myself in the RC-F.

Have fun and enjoy. Be sure to post back after you take delivery!!

:P

To each his own I guess.

C7 Stingray? - its a f_cking Chevy!!!
As for the rest of the cars you listed - not everyone wants to buy an older used car and/or make their car a freaking project

I haven't seen a single legitimate press release indicating the FT-1 is in fact going to be built for production only BS Motor Authourity and attention getters.

Where did you read of it being "official"?, got a link??
