reminds me of back muscles at a Body Worlds exhibit. I actually like this muscular look, it fits the car. LFA seats actually look dated compared to this. I think in one of the RCF videos they wanted it to make it look like a tight fitting driving suit.

yep.... LFA looks like pre-production seats compared to this.... IMHO. Great addition to the cabin.

i watched the "Form Fortifies Fuction video again they said they wanted to make the seats look like an athletes body suit, so it has that muscular look to it.

Maybe it's only on F models? Not F-sports.

The LFA has one of the greatest interior design and quality of any car generation. Love that Lexus is bringing that down the lineup.

Hate to sound like a broken record, but I cannot get over this rear 3/4 angle shot. It is so ridiculous good looking.

Love how the the rear fender flares are arching all the way up to almost the C-pillar giving the illusion of being wider/muscular and lower than it actually is.

Well, looking back at ISFs, they don't keep the blue at the bottom of the steering wheel for certain interior colors like red......

Absolutely better, IMHO.

THE ISF is a great looking car, but showing its age IMHO.

Also, that is a modified IS-F. Modified to stock comparison is not fair anyway.

Anyway, the distance between the C-pillar and the top of the fender flare is way too long in the IS-F making the trunk line too tall, which is why I admire the RC-F a lot where Lexus seems to have nailed it. It is perfectly proportioned from this angle.

Is the blacked out trim standard on the RC-F?
