I hated it when the Lexus spindle grille first came out, but I really like it now. It took me 1 or 2 years to like it though...

Haha that's kind of what it is, not what I wanted it to be.

I passed one tonight also, a black one, so the front wasn't that obvious. I thought it was a twin. I guess its a triplet.

That car has some power

Face it though: the internet will always rag on Lexus and Toyota, no matter what they do.

I think the new LX570 pulls it off really great IMO.

Don't mind the spindle grills at all, at least on the F-trim models. I just don't like the Nike-shaped LED strips, they feel a bit too forced. Overall though, a very handsome car that packed on a few too many pounds.

I just wish you could get one with a manual transmission...

weederr33 · 01-09-2016, 03:29 PM

I just want that engine in my car...

I've been in mine now for 13,000 miles, and I am still in awe every time I hit the back roads around South Washington and Oregon. I was only able to get in four track sessions this past year, and every one left me grinning ear to ear. I do not have a single complaint and would buy the car again with no hesitation. The car has a few quirks that many writers seem to focus on and complain about, but every one is easily handled with seat time. Learn the car, understand its intended purpose, go in with realistic expectations, and anyone would be hard pressed to find anything in the class that is a better all-around driver.

Lexus revealed the GT3 racing version of the RC F which will make its debut in the 24 Hours of Daytona on January 26.

The new Lexus race car will also compete in the GT300 class of the Super GT Series in Japan, apart from the U.S., starting from the 2017 season.

Lexus will enter two cars in the Japanese championship and another two in the U.S. where the new RC F GT3 will compete in the GTD class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship.

“Lexus is embracing new challenges as a luxury lifestyle brand as it strives to inspire customers with amazement and excitement that exceed the imagination,” said Tokuo Fukuichi, President of Lexus International. “Our decision to enter in customer motorsports will both refine the performance of our high-performance F models and give our customers an amazing experience.”

“I'm pleased that we are able to introduce the LEXUS RC F GT3 in the GT3 category, which represents the highest level of customer racing,” added Koei Saga, Chief Officer and Technical Director of Toyota Gazoo Racing Factory. The company didn’t reveal any plans of bringing their new GT3 contender in Europe but Saga says they are not denying the possibility.

“The first step is to place four cars in races in the U.S. and Japan, but in the future we will nurture our RC F GT3 into a model that is loved by worldwide customers.”

My friend has the RC300. I don't like it at all. Inside is cramped and the gas mileage is poor and it takes premium. I'm not a big person either (5'5" about 118 lbs). And the other issue- you can't get a manual.

That's the way Lexus is going these days since cramped means sporty and premium means performance (hey it's a luxury car you expect it to take regular gas with good gas mileage?), and ditching manual as a cash grab.
