Most people don't recognize different car brands, much less different models within a car brand.

Heck, most people are better able to recognize a weasel hitching a ride on a flying woodpecker.

After about 15 seconds I would have completely ignored them like they didn't even exist.

That's why I don't look and talk to people at the gas station and same thing usually happens at the self car washes, clueless dudes trying to talk about cars. I hate that.

And I don't even bother correcting people anymore after they compliment me on my new "IS". SMH
That or when people used to ask me if I got the 250 or 350 GS -___-

Not too difficult to do with these lease rates nowadays.

I just tell them I got the GS F with 500HP V8. They believe it anyway.

A manager thought that initially because he only recognized "F" as power on the front side panel F Sport emblem lol

I watched the Top Gear episode tonight. As previously stated, it was the RCF they were *******, not the GS. Looking back my friend said they were ******* Lexus not the GS specifically. I assumed they were ******* the GS as he knows I have one. He knows the difference between a GS and RCF. He's a car guy. He works for Hennessey in Houston.

To disagree with Top Gear....while the RCF might not be as fast as an M4, at least it won't break down all the time after 50K miles like the M4 likely will.

Not sure I can post the link here but if you google "top gear season 22 episode 6" the first few results should help.

I'm inclined to agree with Jeremy on this after seeing what they can do with the LFA it's a bit of a let down. I also think that about the GS-F

And they also believe the Left Shark rides atop the weasel while on the woodpecker's back.

Yup, so basically the RCF isn't as good as I thought it would be. On Motor Trend's review the RCF lost slightly to the M4 on the track, but that drag race is just embarrassing. They didn't even bother letting the Stig drive it, that's how bad it is and I think the GSF will be just like that or worse cause they will compare that car to the German's top dogs again for sure.
