I'm hoping to fit my daughter in the back of an RC in 5 years. Until then I'll enjoy my IS.

So true. Wish the RC had more space in the back, but that's impossible. Coupes aren't meant to be spacious

prefer space and doors in IS vs the RC, but spoiler of RC is nice IMO

At this stage in my life I'd lean to and stick to my IS. Solely for the fact that's it's roomier, but can't deny the RC looks awesome. I'd even go for a bigger car or one that had better mpg. I think it's really depending on one's situation and needs

My dealer has a blue RC in the showroom. Fantastic in that color.

Not so sure about the Orange though. Too obnoxious for me.

I'm just going to put this out there. I think the rc is ugly. Rcf is a different story

^^^^ I agree with this person. I was driving home from the airport yesterday and ended up driving next to RC350 F Sport in Atomic Silver for almost 10 miles. It was bone stock and looked okay. I just dont like the rear end of the car. Looks really pinched to me. And the front is pretty wide like the IS so from the back it looks weird IMHO. I much prefer the body and style of the IS over the RC. I agree that the RCF is a different story as that car looks like a beast!

The RC and IS are both polarizing designs. It's nice to see Lexus taking chances with their designs. Some may not like them but at least they are unique and interesting.

I think the RC-F is better looking by far IMO. But to each his own, both cars are good looking!

If you want to keep up with the Jones', get the RC!
