Default Almost left you guys, but staying for now ;-)

So just thought id share my story with you guys, had to take my 350 fsport in because the dealership had to change the steering wheel. (i accidentally ripped the leather and they were nice enough to swap it out for me on a goodwill thing). Anyway laid my eyes on this beauty a nebula/red RCF! my oh my what a gorgeous car. As it was still during the December to remember i decided to have a sit down with my sales guy to talk some numbers. Was actually able to hammer out a deal of 72K with taxes, titles and fees which is superb considering the sticker price is 72.5. Decided to get myself this badboy for my 22nd birthday coming later this month and trade in the 350. The only think that irked me was the limited space of a coupe, but THEN i got wind of the new GSF coming out and decided ultimately to wait off on it and see what the GSF has to offer as its bigger in size as well. Just thought id share that story with you guys. here are some pics for your time!

Cool pics. Just rotate them in photoshop, if you don't have that, use the paint tool (windows start/all programs/accessories/paint. Oh, and resize!

I think you're better off honestly. I can't get over how terrible those wheels, headlights, and hood look on the RC-F. If they wanted to put some good looking wheel on, they should have spoken with vossen or someone that could have done 3 piece wheels for them. The headlights, and the "air gap" is just painful to look at, and if they wanted help with hood vents, they should have talked to Ford, GM, or BMW.

Ugh, overall, not a good looking car for Lexus.

Glad you're still with us. I like the idea of a 2-door sporty Lexus. RC shows that Lexus is headed in the right direction. As far as the design, I think it still needs some fine-tuning. I like the RC when I first saw it. After looking at it a few more times, I'm not so sure about the headlamps. IS has a better overall shape. The hood scoop is pretty nice on the RCF.
