I'm too lazy to read through all of that garble. What were the big changes besides the turbo version?

Certainly a lot of text to wade through. Seems the only real difference for the RWD F-Sport is the option of orange brake calipers and a different pearl paint finish.

There is still a chance it's stand alone option like on upcoming GS but yeah you are right why offer it on faux luxury CUV but not on your only proper coupe/sports car. Base headlights take away from the design they make the car look like a funny cartoon character.

Did that influence your decision to buy one to start off with?

I totally would be driving a loaded RC f sport right now if they came with the good headlights. Now we know not even for 2016. I'm gonna throw $70k now for a RX F Sport.

That's too bad. I have them on the Canadian Spec vehicle and they are truly stunning.

It is funny that you would "throw" $70K at a totally different vehicle but you won't spend $65K for a triple LED headlight RC F.

I live in Nebraska. I need AWD dude. If an RCF had that ability I'd be all over it. I just can't stand the bad headlights, looks like the cheap one....I guess it is.

If you don't think about it too much it won't bother you because the ride is great and it looks awesome! Buy it you won't regret it. And the funny part is you won't see your self coming and going like you might in an ES or IS.
