LO 21

There was a thread last month showing Japanese spec RC Fs. The pictures below show black/orange interior, and it seems to only be shown with Orange exterior.

ANY word from ANYWHERE whether this will be an option here in the States?
Also, is that interior available in Japan with any exterior color, or just the Orange exterior?

It is not likely to make it to the states. It is currently not listed in the brochure or website as a color option.

Fact of the matter is, US buyers tend to be much more conservative aesthetically speaking than Japanese buyers (for cars, at least). I suspect Lexus probably feels the color combo is a little too "out there" for US consumers.

Well, it'll clearly not be released for the 2015 model year, but I suspect they'll make interior design changes for 2016 or 2017, just like they always do, and just like they did with the IS F

My memory might be slightly off, but it was something like this for the IS F:
2008: regular interior colors (or maybe it was just black?)
2009: released black with red accents
2010: released black with orange accents
2011: released different black with orange accents, and released black in leather/suede combo
2012+: released full red leather

It isn't any more out there than that boy racer, unpainted carbon fiber hood.

Well Lexus US aren't offering that hood on US RC F either.

Touche!

Touche again due to message being too short to post.
