Any word on price? It has to be $50K or below for me to buy it. If I can get it for that price or below with black leather then I will have it as soon as they start arriving in ATL.

Really like the side and rear profiles. Interior was as expected and the front...I'm leaning towards no

Yeah I'd really like to know what the price tag is going to be on this little puppy...... I just got the 3IS and wanted to change the RX for a GS but it looks like the RX is going to hold on for a bit longer until this comes out! ..... and of course if it doesn't have a price tag of $70k or something

I like it, a lot! The headlights are very interesting. On low beam showing an L motif.

Should be similar pricing to the IS-line, maybe $2-3k difference I'd assume...the RC-F will be the outlier, hints around $70-75k from what I've been reading up on.

I'm with the majority here on what we see so far, it is very stylish and a bold look...Lexus did well, and hoping the RC F-Sport comes looking even that much more an agressor as this. Great job once again Lexus!

definitely going to be a nice look in this color...the rear vents being black, also the smoked looked headlights, etc. will be a nice contrast to the SFP finish. I wish Lexus would follow BMW's trend on their FSport/F models in offering the black windor trim instead of the standard chrome.

That profile couldn't be more sexy. It's gorgeous and glad that Lexus remove the ambar, yellowish side turn signal fron the rear!


I could stare at that rear-end forever....

thanks guys... someone else posted the fr-s and i can see some linkage there too, with the rc being a lot more stylized and detailed.

i hope they keep the wheel gap / fitment like in the pics.

So this is the RC350. How do we know there is an RCF coming (as oppose to an RC350 F-sport)? And if there is an RC F coming, is there any indication when?

Tbh, I wouldn't mind an RC Grand Coupe version. Sort of like the BMW 6 series GC, a 4 door version of the RC. Imagine an RC GC with the wheelbase of the GS but the front and rear end styling of the RC.

There's a 50 page thread discussing all the recent spyshots and videos of the RC-F and GS-F.

The RC-F is a fact.

Now is just the waiting game for it to arrive.

Yup. The '13 ES, GS, and LS have white LEDs under the strip.
