All new models to a certain car are going to be different than the previous generation, nothing against that. Its the fact that they want to take such a legendary sports car and turn in into a hybrid |

This and the 458 Italian are the only cars that I think look good with the lame ass bandwagon bolted on fenders every car is running now adays

Generally-speaking, I'm a huge Lamborghini fan and not too fond of Porsche (except the Cayman GTS and certain Panamera body kits).
That said, I think RWB Porches look pretty decent, but giving the Rocket Bunny treatment to a Lambo? Frickin' hideous. Certain cars (and this goes for the RC-F as well) with modern aggressive styling don't benefit from the very industrial, gritty feel evoked by riveted-on fender flares.

RWB and Rocket Bunny I consider very different. I'm talking about the same rocket bunny fenders that are getting plastered onto every car.
I like the RWB cars.

RC F definitely catches my attention and I applaud Toyota (Lexus) for giving much attention and showing passion within this car.
Some of those exterior color choices are incredible, which I admire. With that said, I wouldn't be a buyer since it's too much car for me (weight, power, luxury, options, automatic, etc).

Those blue examples with aftermarket wheels look much better. Car still needs a diet.

yea it really does. I really can't think of any weight savings one could do that would make enough of a difference. It would be a shame to strip the interior on a brand new Lexus or drive around with no spare tire. Its possible a carbon fiber hood and trunk would be worth it though. |

No weight can be stripped, if the overall chassis is heavy. Well you can lose a lot weight if you strip down the interior, but then it is not worth buying the Lexus, as the interior is a main purchasing point.
