The RC-F is made from the ground up. It's most likely another engineering monstrosity grade vehicle from Toyota/Lexus
Ok. You seems not a car enthusiast. I understand.

RC is not a sleeper by any means so no matter in which color you get it, it will scream for attention. Orange roar will just be more audible from bigger distances as you approach that's all.

So it sounds like the consensus is that this car does not move the needle at all. At least the styling is something new.

Nope, thats not what I meant. I didn't argue about which is best. I just pointed out that the M4 looks good in real life and you instantly see the difference to a regular 4 series. You need to read more carefully next time.

all right, understood, sorry about that :-).

I think M4 looks good where 4 series looks a bit boring... RC-F is outrageous on the other hand.

it sure will get more attention. it's a love/hate design. some will love it. some will despise it.
but i'm not sure that's a good thing. i prefer m4 over this. IMO, it's too over designed from the pic. maybe it won't be as bad in person.

I m confused does it does it not have a manual transmission option??

If so great, finally a "track ready" competitor to the M4 and Cayman GTS.

If not, too bad, its not going to get the enthusiats excited, and the weight really, almost 4,000 lbs? That's SUV weight.

If not, too bad, not going to get my demographic into the show room and I'll just keep the Porsche.
