Based on those photos alone, car looks very ordinary.

You mean "Sleeper", right?

Thanks for the pics! Yea I'd agree that it doesn't have quite the road presence that I was expecting, but it's only a few rough snapshots so time will tell. Someone said it before, but it's partially due to the lines flowing a bit like a wide-body accord coupe, which is not a good thing.

Kind of reminds me of how the C63 sedan and coupe don't look that much different from eachother. Almost looks like an F sedan minus a couple of doors. Maybe black is a bad color for the RC-F?

definitely would like to see white and silver . a lighter color should show more of the body lines. looks like everyone's impression so far is bland once it hit the streets . I didn't get that wow factor in those pics

I suspect it will look far more striking in the new USB and Orange colors

It looks like a is-f coupe from 2008 (If Lexus had made one). Doesn't look new at all. And its not the color's fault.

Also, really don't like the "new" wing mirrors...

It does look Infiniti-ish but I don't think these pictures do the car justice.

That specific pre-production car is definitely and obviously toned down so people don't notice it.

Pre production car, testing all the way up to release. Good job Lexus, this car will look great on the street. Haters will do a double take and talk to themselves "thats that rc-f i bashed on forums"!
