Is this a good wow or a bad wow?

I'm not really impressed by 460.

So a Japanese guy in Japan with limited knowledge of the English language completely misuses the word with no explanation... and we--being the sheeple that we are--just follow suit, no questions asked. Cool

Why is a car that is named after a horse have a special edition named after a snake? Because they say so.

I don't understand why it's so hard for you to grasp that Lexus called it that, so that's what it is. Do you not want to call an iPad an iPad just because Apple named it that?

The first picture in this thread......makes it look like a truly amazing looking car. It looks VERY similar to a twin with just a touch of a sportier sports car flare.

But like everyone is saying.....the front.....ugh...

But the color......the color is spot on.....

Still mixed. I see more GT-R in the design's shape than the FT-86 with the current Lexus trends. I don't hate it but, I wouldn't own it if I had the money to spend.

The IS350 F Sport is the best looking sedan under $50k. It is the first Lexus I've considered buying. I hated the initial pics, but in person it has amazing presence. I imagine the RC will be the same.

Ive said on every thread about this car on this forum that Im in love with it. Im really considering buying an RC F-sport when my lease is up in June.

A lot of people that didnt like the pics actually had a change of heart when they saw the front in person. I love the grill.

Anybody that doesnt like the hood line should look at pics of the RC F-sport. Since it doesnt have the V8 the hood isnt as high.

The IS is the only sedan Id buy, I love it.

There are plenty of other pics on the RC and RCF subforums over at clublexus.

Saw one at the auto show this year. The headlamp was ugly to such extent that it actually looked kinda cool.

Seen it, don't like it, but that's OK. My opinion only matters for me.

Don't like the one on the new Lincolns either. Guess I'm just not a fan of huge grills.

hur1ey02 · 07-11-2014, 10:45 AM

Minus the grill, I'd drive it.

Wow! Yeah... I hate doing the little bit of waffle grille on the FRS! I'm in prarie country and it can be an absolute horor show sometimes. A medium bristle wheel brush works good. You'd need to take a break doing the grille on this thing. Lol!

Maybe it's like a pug.... It's so homely it'll grow on you after a while.

Well I meant current models, but if I'm honest, I'm not a real big fan of the LFAs looks either. To me it looks like a Supra with a bulky aero kit on it, just too "streamlined". If given the choice between them, I'd take a C7 Corvette over this.

But I grew up in the era of the Countach so I'm guessing that has a little impact on my choices. Probably why I prefer the MK1 MR2 over the MK2.

the hood is high because of the V8. the RC350 i believe has a lower hood.

maybe you will like it after seeing it in person. i know i had a change of heart.

agredd, back and side looks very nice.
