Default Best RC Model (Specify each model)

What is the best RC model to choose from? I realize that they have the 200t now and was wondering if the 300 was worth it now. I was also wondering if the 350 f sport was the best way to go. Can anyone outline each model?

RC200t (241hp/258 lb-ft) if you want good looks and better gas mileage, but could care less about performance and don't need AWD. RC300 (255hp/236 lb-ft) for if you need AWD but can't afford the $2-3K more for the RC350 AWD. RC350 (306hp/277 lb-ft) if you want a good amount of power for daily driving. RCF (467hp/389 lb-ft) if you really value performance and want the most expensive RC in the lineup.

IMO, the RC200t and RC300 aren't worth taking a look at. Barely enough power for this heavy coupe; no performance to match the looks. 0-60 times in both RC200t (7.3 sec) and RC300 (6.3 sec) are pitiful for a coupe.

Are you in Canada or California?

Once you select your RC, try this for comparing it against competitors:

What's the 0-60 time for the RC350? Thought it was 6.0.
