Lexus LF-CC / RC350 & RC-F

[mike@vossen]

It will be a coupe in between the IS/GS ala what the Germans are doing....I can't wait!

[Whitigir]

The reason why I am still saving my money, even though I am very tempted to purchase an FRS

LF-CC comes in Possibly 3 trims, and Targeted for Sub 50k.

The 2014 IS is a huge hit everywhere, this Model is said to arrive August 2014. Hold your breathe, if you care

RC-F (Registered Production Name)----Racing Coupe-Flagship
V6
2.5 Turbo
2.5 HyBrid

Everything is still under the cover so far by Lexus, and who knows what production may come. But here is an awesome video to enjoy it.

There is always something new and improved coming out..
The 86 is here and now.. I'll trade up if something actually better makes it onto the market.. But not at twice the price..

[Drftfan]

Not even in the same class together but to each their own. Looks like a nice Audi challenger. Amd as you said near 50,000 so pretty much double the price.
Personally I would rather have a new frs and put the remaining amount into a collector car that will possibly gain value.

Kind of like who cares we are 86 owners......

I'd rather buy 1 FRS and 1 BRZ. Variety is the spice of life.

Wonder how easy those engines would swap ...

[FRiSson]

GT86/FR-Z owners are generally confident people who prove their mettle by improving their skills. For them the 86 is the right platform.

[Whitigir]

Uhm...I didn't have any intentions for this Debate about whether or not This Coupe LF-CC is Better, or a Competition to the FRS Platform.

You do know it is all from Toyota right ? so Toyota would never Compete itself. That is just a logical thought.

I posted this because It is so Interesting to see that now Toyota and Lexus decided to Step up their game. They have stopped making just Old, Plain, Bland, boring car Alone. They have Decided to Stir it up with the Enthusiast.

I am just Grateful for what Toyoda is doing.

Toyota, after leaving the Supra, had decided that Sport Cars are not Profitable, and they put all their heart into Family Vehicles, Hybrid. Now, they are again the BIGGEST Automaker in the World, and healthy. Please be Grateful for what they have decided to do.

After all, once again, Producing Sport car is just a Hobby to Manufacturer, because it does not Net in Profit.

That slick video just added 10K to the price.................

I get the impression the LF-CC will be slow and boring.

[Atticus808]

stupid cheesy music reminds me of junior high science class, when the teacher rolls in a tv and shows a science video that's similar to How It's Made.

[Tromatic]

No thanks. That grill is fugly beyond belief. Regardless, you than thank the FT-86 for the fact that that car and others like it are even on the drawing board.

I honestly hope it is not. But there is no argument about Lexus Brand, that it has always been in Comparability hence boring, and not powerful. They are trying to change that impression with the LFA, which was too over-priced. But it did stir up the market.

Now they will do yet another one, and hopefully it won't be bland, boring, slow as stated. Otherwise, Lexus will yet again failed.
