If you're comparing AWD models, then you are correct.

Wow ! The RC is fatty.

Went to dealership on Friday. GS F Sport is far superior than RC F Sport. No backseat and fit and finish was poor for such an expensive car. Thanks to all for your responses and once again most of you were dead on. Drove an RC F. Lot's of fun but again for that amount of money it was missing to many things. Wish GS F was more affordable. Looks like a very well equip one will be in the upper 90's.

I'm trading in my wife's RC F Sport in a couple of weeks for a ' 16 GS F Sport. I personally will miss the car. I think it has more of a fun factor when driving. She liked it for the same reason, but doesn't like if for every day use. This will be her 3rd GS, so she knows what she wants. Oh well, I'm just a life support system for a wallet.

I only traded my GS F Sport for my S5 because the S5 is still livable. It has a useable back seat and a pretty generous trunk. The interior is also reasonably well-finished for the price, although the nav screen is small. It is also lots more fun to drive. The RC F Sport doesn't really offer any of those things, plus my personal opinion is that the GS is better looking because it does't have all the tack-ons like fake rear bumper strakes and rear lights that pop out of the sides. Aside from the spindle grill, the GS is a pretty refined, nice-looking car. For me, it would be GS F Sport all the way.

Yep, the GS is the way to go. The only thing that would sway me is if I was smaller and didn't have people wanting to pile in my car since it's a sedan. The GS fits me perfectly although the RC is a little flashier. Also I didn't care for the heavy, 6 foot long door on the RC.
