Great looking cars, can't wait to see it in the flesh though the coupe looks better, I can see these cars easily reach $90k.

Because I don't buy into the propaganda? An M3 is not a valid excuse for $80,000 IMO. I don't care what marketing image BMW has created for it.

People like you are the reason we can't have nice things. Just saying...

A few things jump out at me:

1) Lexus take note of the racey blue color that once again shows up with your competitors.
2) What's with all the slashes and slices in the bumper!? Totally unnecessary and forced.
3) One thing that will not change with these special edition cars... the snob night racers who take over the streets driving like bungholes.

Interesting to see PY make a come back!

What is funny about those complaining about price of an "M" is that when the next line of "F"s come out, I'm sure we'll see similar prices but that will be perfectly OK some how... You're not buying a run of the mill, dime-a-dozen car - well, depending on where you life I suppose. I'm sure I'll see my fair share in CA... haha

actually those are not for looks. they were in bmw's road and development for better aerodynamics and air flow. if you notice the bmw 1m bumper looking identical. still looks good to me.

1m

It's going to drive superbly. Decent looking too. Interior is expected and somewhat ho-hum. Also the fact that the M3 exists makes me think Lexus is crazy to only consider offering the RC-F and no new IS-F planned

$80 or $90,000 for these cars is ridiculous!

M's are not that uncommon and while they are very nice cars they are simply not worth that much. One can get a new Corvette with tons of speed and power and get it for $60,000. But the M is worht $20-30K more? Thats crazy.

however, if there are people here who just want to throw their money away, then more power to them; I guess its theirs to flush down the toilet.

usually people who talk about cars being overpriced or throwing away money never buy new cars anyway. but everyone's entitled to their opinions.

these cars will do great. they're just awesome.

Both cars look nice, and are certainly aggressive. I really don't care for the number of creases and folds in the front or rear bumpers, but if they're functional, then whatever

Agreed

Most of these will be leased anyway....i assume they will be about 1k month - which is not a lot of $$$

BMWs are overpriced compared to a Corvette or Mustang.
Compared to MB and Audi - they r priced fairly.

You want to see overpriced - go and build a Porsche 911 lol
