Really bummed... no GS-F at the Dallas Auto Show
All the major brands are displayed there, right up to Rolls and Bentley. No GS-F at the Lexus display.
I did get to sit in the RC350 F Sport and actually found it quite nice inside. Slightly better appointed than the IS. The touch pad was kind of awkward to use, but I'm sure in time I'd get used to it. My qualm has always been the huge protruding grille but the rest of the car has a nice presence.
On another note, since I'm in a "coupe phase" right now, I sat in the BMW 435i. The red interior is a bit too much, especially since they extend it up to the lower dashboard. Also, it just looked very plain and cheap compared to the RC and my S5. I think you can order nicer materials, like ceramic *****, but I'm not sure. If so, they should have had a car with them. I liked the outside design but inside it just fell flat for me.
I guess I'll have to wait until the GS-F hits the dealers.

I sat in an RCF at my dealer and I'm liking it more and more now. And the back seat is actually quite roomy, I'm surprised!

I'm not quite sold on the RC's looks yet. I like the car though. Really excited to sit in a GSF. Afraid I'll want one!!

Some coupes have weirdly roomy back seats. My mom and I both had a 3 series at the same time, hers was a coupe and mine was a sedan. I remember her back seat was a lot easier to fit my sons car seat in and his feet had more room back there vs my sedan. Only thing was it was difficult to get his chunky self in and out lol (he was 6 months old and looked 2).

I took my CT in for service and saw the RCF in the showroom and it caught my eye immediately !! Was on my mind for about a week and had to go back in to look a little closer with all intensions to purchase one. I walked in again and said wow thats a nice looking car but when I sat in it it was different story. I felt too cramped in the seat (I'm 5-10 190 lbs) and the cockpit felt small to me, seats kind of pinched me in there. I got out and said wow thats really disappointing I really wanted that car so I went over to the GS in the showroom sat down in the drivers seat and said this is the car, this rest is history, very happy with my choice.

No GS-F at the Toronto auto show earlier this winter either, which was disappointing. Based on the pictures, I don't think I like how it looks, but I wanted to see it in person because some cars look a lot better in the real world. What I would really like is the regular (non F-Sport) GS with that 8-cylinder engine in it, basically the equivalent of the BMW 550i or M-B E550.

RC interior seems like thats where IS facelift should go... small changes to some plastic and more leather makes a lot nicer impression.
