Congrats! Is that the silver lining metallic? Had mine 11 months and no regrets.

Thank you

Yes it is the silver lining, i never had a silver car before but i love it on the RC, day or night it looks legit. And it makes the silver accents on the wheels stand out more in my opinion. This car drives better than it looks though. Amazing

Yes black interior.

The RC looks spectacular but i said that to convey how incredible it drives and corners, i never thought a Lexus would handle like this. Definitely handles better than a 435i or S5. Absolutely amazing.

The RC feels planted and corners beautifully, although it feels heavy, especially off the line. Yes, it handles well but I would not go so far as to say better than the 435i or S5. No way.

I've driven both the RC350 and the S5, hands down the S5 handles better and accelerates harder, the thing is supercharged. The RC does handle good don't get me wrong I love the car(not more than the GS tho)and it looks so much better and is much nicer on the inside than the S5 (which has a real dated interior). The RC is heavy and it suffers for that just look at the IS350 its way faster than the RC.


Congrats on the car though, have fun with it and you've just convinced me that, that color is the one I want.

The RC is definetly not faster no question, but im more confident driving this vehicle than the other two. The other day i went up to Mulholland Drive, which is a scenic and incredible driving terrain, and i went through those corners with the greatest of ease and balance more so than the Audi or BMW. There is a bit of over steer at times coming out of corners but i like that because you can compensate with the power and shoot out of corners. All 3 are incredible pieces of machinery.
