I'll take one.

Thanks for throwing this up with the photos and the video!

Wow that blue is pure hotness. Very curious to see the engine specs and final price...agree with most that this will be between $70-$80K and therefore well out of my price range.

Still a very bold move by Toyota to produce a RWD of that size (looks to be relatively small and lightweight).

So has anyone actually read the article?

Quote:

Beneath the styling, the RC-F gets tough. It’s built on a version of the Lexus IS platform, and the wheelbase has been made 2.8 inches shorter to match the 107.5-inch wheelbase of the outgoing IS-F sedan. The RC structure mixes high-strength steel, laser screw welding, and structural adhesives for optimum rigidity, while the F gets further structural braces for even more strength. Overall weight distribution is balanced toward the front, and it is not a bad strategy because it gives the car a surer sense of direction when the speedometer numbers start to get scary. The weight target is a rather husky 3970 pounds.

The side profile looks very much like our cars.
I love it.

Of course, people will now focus on the grille (since Lexus apparently sorted out the chassis dynamics to the point that the regular IS now beats BMW and Benz in comparos).

3970? And that's where the drooling stops. I thought it would be 3400 at most.

Standard Lexus gran touring coupe faire: heavy, luxurious, relatively high power, expensive.

I'll pass.

Also, aside from a passing aesthetic resemblance and standard Toyota tech this thing resembles an 86 about as much as an LFA.

Wow, that looks fantastic! It's a little busy, I think it'd look better if the roof were lower but still..

IMO, I don't see any resemblance with the twins
