Tacoma. That name brings many things to mind: rails and sails, whitebark pine trees, Mt. Rainier, and the Pacific Northwest. That being said, you might think Toyota’s new-for-2016 midsize pickup would be far away from home in Texas, a land of oil and gas and cowboy hats and boots.
The Lexus RC F can be seen as a personal luxury coupe. The problem with that is it brings to mind old cars like the Ford Thunderbird. Perhaps the word “performance” should be wedged in between “luxury” and “coupe.”
