I honestly cannot comprehend what you are trying to say...

The FR-S/BRZ finessing, intricate and refined delicacy.

Automatic Only.

I'll keep my FRS.

Does it come with crickets? No, thought so, it got nothing on the twins.

This guy does an actual REVIEW of the car not a freaking fluff piece by some moron who knows nothing technical about what they are reviewing.

I like the RC350 for what it is. Looks like a comfy and sporty GT coupe with Lexus reliability. Too bad it is 50k+ for the F sport.

weederr33 · 08-19-2015, 12:07 PM

I think it looks pretty cool. If only it came in manual. haha

brandonblt2 · 08-19-2015, 12:21 PM

I like to think of our cars as a smaller cousin to a porsche cayman or baby lfa's

calmtigers · 08-21-2015, 03:09 AM

Wait this is the middle line up and the top is the RCF?

The true bigger, fatter FRS/GT86 would be the RC 200t which was just announced in Europe.
2.0l turbocharged engine, 245hp, 350nm, 8spd auto.

No, the RC350 nor the RC F I think come close enough to what those who want to upgrade directly up from a FRS would want. The 86 platform is far more sports oriented and don't make particularly good GT cars whereas it seems the RC is a good GT car that attempts to do sporty yet I think the 86 twins do GT driving better due to the good seat and some of the FA20's refinement than the RC does sporty because of its great weight.

A much much closer attempt is going to be the Toyota Mark X GRMN.

Sadly that's a special edition limited to 100 units and IIRC Japan only.

LSxJunkie · 08-22-2015, 11:05 PM

The RC is not a more expensive FR-S. The two are as unrelated as a Corvette and an ATS Coupe.

I really wish these Japanese vids had English subtitles. I recorded my test-drive of a Mark X 350s Gs (basically the more common AT-equipped version with no handbrake) at the Toyota facility in Odaiba, just never bothered to upload the footage (anyone wanna see it?). It's a pretty fun car with ample power for Japanese roads. My dream is to LS swap one though: gives you essentially Mercedes C63 AMG performance but with Toyota reliability.

ajaxthebetter · 08-23-2015, 11:35 AM

Wouldn't that just be an ISF?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for this, but I'm not sure how an LS swap gives you "Toyota reliability"....

Read that with I'm a big GM engine fanboy (I've had multiple GM engines go well over 250,000 miles in DD) and this is the first thing I would think to do if my Subie engine bit the big one.
