No. I'd love to have one, but with a family, I just couldn't make a 2 door work. However, if I was single, I'd be tempted, but would probably still keep my 3IS. I freaking love that thing...

I still don't understand lexus's stubborness to go forced induction...It's just more efficient in every aspect. How will they compete with the bmw now which has that, plus much better mpg, and a dual clutch transmission...V8 vs V8 in the previous gen. made sense before. It just seems that Lexus wanted to throw something at the new BMW M car to compete with it but doesn't want to do anything to evolve their car and change the tried and proven V8 setup, which is great, but just not the smartest move in today's competing market. Making the front grill bigger doesn't exactly win anyone over. Most people are still trying to get used to the huge 3IS fsport grill, but once they see the RC-F, they'll just lose it! The only thing that would make someone choose this car over bmw is if they wanted to stay loyal to the brand for reliability reasons and (arguably) better quality. But if i were spending this kind of money, m3 or m4 would be my choice hands down. Plus, as others are saying, 2 doors just isn't practical for most people. I'm just ranting because I really wanted Lexus to bring something new to the table like they did with the supra. Something special. And they didn't do anyone any favors with the LFA, which 99% of the world can't even afford.

I have a 2IS, do I count? 
If the price is reasonable I would choose it over the 3IS when my lease is up BUT I need to lower my lease payments so I will likely be back in another IS250.

I'd do it if it had considerably more power and a more understanding wife (she likes sedans). Come to think of it, I may need to trade her for a newer model too.
