Considering Lexus announcing 4 new or significantly facelifted models in 2015:
1. 2016 GS-F
2. 2016 GS
3. 2016 RX
4. ???
Maybe RC CC? It seems reasonable considering RC-F and GS-F weight the same... car is obviously built from the start to be convertible.

LX refresh is more likely than an RC CC

Lexus Champion
I think we are all speaking of it's overall aesthetics. The 350 IS/C has the "big butt" sydrome that makes it look somewhat ungainly and unattractive. You asked, I answered. I love Lexus. I wanted a convertible. We went with the G37 Vert because it is just more attractive. No storage space with the top down is the downside.

because the RC F isn't trying to be some thoroughbred dual-purpose street-circuit machine. It's less nuanced than an M4 or RS5. Wring it out, and you'll find a lower ceiling for outright ten-tenths pace, too, but that makes the RC F approachable. It's blunt and forgiving and, most important, uniquely lighthearted.

Lexus is taking the RC F down a similar path to the original IS F with the CCS-P & CCS-R racing variants — it’s also worth pointing out that the IS F CCS parts ended up costing $72,395 USD in addition to the car itself.

As much as I love reading RC news, why does it all have to be in this not-so-related LF-C2 thread? It is annoyingly misleading to be expecting some more news on the LF-C2 or a production version of that, yet just come across copy-pasted tidbits on the RC350/300h or RC-F coupe.
This thread was started by zema last year, in regards to the LF-C2 Concept for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, yet all recent posts in here seem to be about another topic altogether nowadays. Perhaps the subsequent non-LF-C2 or convertible-related posts should be moved to another thread named "RC News Thread" or "RC News" (for Car Chat), as none of the articles posted here in recent months have to do with the LF-C2 for that matter.
This is actually a rampant pattern I've noticed in Car Chat, where thread titles no longer match the thread discussion at hand, not even to the fault of the OP, but unspoken re-dedication by others (turning this into an RC thread). Either dedicate and properly title a thread for specific topics or people will just keep entering such "future info" threads getting their hopes up. Then leaving disappointed and annoyed by unrelated magazine/blog article re-posts, that bump the thread to the top of forum. (I guess this is what I get for taking threads off topic so often, thus bumping them as well.)
Sometimes it has been thankfully corrected, so this thread might need that treatment now.
