Whatever it is...I love it. My last 2 cars I wanted a coupe but it wasn't available so I got sedans. I got my 3IS when it first came out. I love love love the car but I think I will be getting myself a Christmas present in Winter 2014 when the RC is available.

G8rGirl, this thread might be the catalyst for the forum moderators to create a new RC forum and move it there, now that the RC was officially unveiled today. This aside, I like the RC coupe and surely I will be tempted when available, but where's the F-Sport?

I want one too, I am hoping I can afford one.

That would be a real December to Remember! I think it might be worth considering, particularly if you bought an IS250 and don't mind less space. In that case, the powertrains for the 300h and 350 would be something new to spice things up. Plus, since you like your 3IS a lot, I'm sure you'd also like the RC since they're so similar. I think it really just comes down to space and whether two doors is practical for you.

Also, I'm wondering the same thing as corradoMR2 about the lack of F-Sport so far. Hopefully, they'll unveil them in 2014.

Hi Wednesday! And hopefully USB is offered.

Hopefully I can get my name on the list for the RC-F .....460HP baby !!


Lexus is so plain putting the same old v6 306hp IS GS engine in this RC350 also....

It looks nice! But I really don't like 2-door cars

Howdy! and yes sir, they better! I can't wait to see the F sport and the prices.

If they price this below an M235i, I'm sold. Otherwise I'm going with the BMW. Sadly, I expect it to be priced between the M235i and 435i.

Actually it seems it got an hp boost at 318hp according to lexus-int.com

I would love to get my hand on this in F-Sport. Been waiting for a long time for a coupe.

Long time reader, first time poster.
My #1 want for the RC is that I can get an AWD version that is not full of compromises (like the 3IS). For example, Lexus has announced that there will be an AWD variant, but it is not clear what tranny it will get.

Lots of folks itching for a coupe. It seems like years since the SC was retired. But it looks like there is still a glimmer of hope. If you are listening Lexus, next up is the convertible please!!!

My feeling is the 350 will be priced starting around $45K in Canada, the starting cost of a 428i (~ $41K in US).

300h about $3K more (like with the ES)

This will certainly give the BMW 435 Coupe a run for its money. Sign me up now!
