Would you seriously consider trading in your 3IS for the RC?

I like the looks but I wouldn't trade for an RC until they upgrade the 350 drivetrain. Not really interested in trading my IS350 for an RC350 with the same 3.5L V6. What I'd really like is an FI 6 cylinder making ~330bhp and AWD. If they do that and the price is no more than 3-4k more than the IS350, I'm sold.
I'm *really* hoping Lexus can squeeze a few more HP (25-30 HP) into the 2015 IS350 F Sport. If I could get a NA V6 that makes 330HP or V6 Turbo/Supercharged that can make over 330HP, there is no way I would give up the convenience of having a 4 door to jump into the RC or RC F-Sport (especially when having to pay boat loads more).
Heck, I'd even take a hybrid version of the IS350 F Sport if it can keep the weight the same, yet add more HP and naturally improve the car's quickness.
Unfortunately, I don't think any of this will happen since I doubt Lexus doesn't want their RC buyers to even consider cross shopping with the IS350.
Come on Lexus, make it happen!

Nope - need 4 doors with occasionally having to cart a kiddo around. I've owned 5 coupes - much prefer sedans for the last almost 10 years. One thing I really dislike about coupes is the long doors. The only exceptions I make for coupes are 911 and the more true sports cars that only come as 2-door.

I hate how reading the comments about the RC F that people think the car is ugly and stupid this and that. The grill looks horrible. Well I must say lexus has been killing it lately and that's exactly why I got a 350 F Sport. By seeing pictures alone I thought the car was ugly I'll admit that but seeing it in person was a completely different story. You have to see these cars in person to really judge it's looks etc. hopefully these silly people will learn. Love how lexus is becoming more prominent and distinguished from the rest
