No, I bought the ISF because I needed a 4 door sedan.

^Same reason. I mulled the option for a little bit, but 2 doors don't serve any purpose for me, especially with kids and the parents always in the car. It does look pretty radical, and it will only further expand the F heritage.

I might after the first or second year models... I want to see what bugs are sorted out and the direction they move in. (i.e. like the year after year improvements of the ISF)

That or maybe even C7 Z06 lol:

Amen. I miss some good ol GM power. I'll buy one of them used from some 60 year old that washed it and put it back in the garage every weekend.

I want to see what happens with the Chevy SS (Holden Commedore) by 2016...if they offer a manual I might jump on it.

Same here. I am glad I chose the F.
I love the four doors. Isf is so unique with the practicality and performance.

If to consider a two door car, 997 gt3 or turbo. Porsche "there is no substitute"

I'm probably one of the few who like the front end so I would definitely consider it, as well as a M4, CTS V, and a GTR if I could find one in a price range i like.

Great thread. I like the RC-F but in a couple years when I trade my F in if I want a 2 door car it will be used GT-R or CTS-V coupe with manual transmission. The more I look at the RC-F it keeps looking like a Genesis coupe mixed with a BR-Z. Guess will wait and see one in person and what they are selling for 3 years from now cause I never buy new cars with the prices that sports cars are now.

We will see how sports car like it is when the driver reviews come out. The isf is an amazing sports sedan. I have gone back and forth in my head over a gtr/997.1 turbo a million times. This RCf is sweet but if I'm gonna park a hard core sports car next to my amazing four door not sure if the rc f will be it... It might be though no one really knows **** about the cars performance skills yet

My heart tells me my next car will be MANUAL... so that rules out the RC-F. If the RC came with a manual trans, I'd do it in a heartbeat. So I'll wait instead and mull over whether I really want manual or auto. Kind of a blessing in disguise, I get to save my money when the RCF comes out.

I might, but the C7 Z06 is calling my name. My C6Z06 was one of the best cars I ever owned and is by far the most well rounded of the sports cars I owned.


Quick Reply: Who would trade in the ISF for the RCF right now if it was out.
