Dude, it's sounds like he is just messing with you and may actually be admiring your car if checking it out next day.
I could see myself saying the same thing if I saw RCF for first time and had not paid any attention to any of the newer non grandma, grandpa Lexus models. "Lol, I said that ain't no Lecus, that is cool!" when I first saw the RCF. S550 dude actually may be pretty cool and a car guy.
The S550 is also a sweet ride and the best it gets for that size and price range and I am a non-Mercedes guy. I, however, did see a new CLS AMG 63 in matte grey and all blacked out the other day in my hood. That was one of the coolest cars I have seen in a while . . . been thinking about trading my RCF for one . . . just haven't had time to go Mercedes dealership. The new matte colors are pimp!

Actually Lexus has never stop making a 2 Door.. The SC430 stop in 2010, but in 2011 the IS-C has been built until now..
This funny incident is hilarious and reminds me when I was on an Air Force base where my friend ran the "Auto Hobby" Shop where you can work on your own car for a few dollars per hour (Dirt cheap) if you're military.. This is many years ago when the 2nd Gen GS came out and I was one of the first to have a GS400 in town. Anyways, this guy came up to the office all Ecstatic speaking and ask whose "AWESOME, WIDE-BODY CIVIC" that's parked out front?!?
I was like, what Civic? The guy says, the Silver one with the Spoiler on the back..
I calmly as I could, said "Just go read the badging on the trunk please.."

no dude wasn't messing with me, he was talking down to me like a "get off my lawn" cranky old man..
it was rather hostile and irritating, I just smiled and nodded and got on with my day.
he didn't see me today, and his circling my car and shaking his head was him continuing his mocking and idiocy..
I've see him in the coffee shop nearly ever day, he seems to get off on being an a$$ to the workers and other patrons. Then he sits right outside the door at a table and pollutes the entrance with his cigar intentionally.
He isn't a car guy, he's a cranky old man that thinks his own $h1t doesn't stink and he is better than everyone because he owns an MBZ.
There are a couple of squids (crotch rocket bikers) that frequent this coffee shop and I suspect one of these days he's going to get is old a$$ knocked out with his antics. These kids don't like him and he is always screaming idiocy at them.

Two ways to deal with people like him:
1) Nod your head and say "ok, if you say so". Let him go on believing he is right.
2) Tell him to mind his own f'in business.
I guess these two options would depend on your mood at that given time.

He's right, it's actually a Ford Pinto with a new body attached
stopped to get my morning coffee this a.m. as a I do every morning.
some older "gentleman" walked up it to me as I was leaving and told me that I should remove the Lexus badges from my car because it's embarrassing.
According to this person Lexus doesn't make a 2 door and hasn't since 2008 and while he doesn't know what my car is, he thinks I am embarrassing myself by putting Lexus logos and badges all over it.

I would have replied something along these lines:
Well, aren't you a car genius? how about you use something that is available practically at our fingertips at any time of the day, it's called the "INTERNET". It's actually been around for quite longer than say, 2008, in case you haven't heard about it either... When you go on it, you should use a website called "Google" and do a "Google search". Search for a car, that seats right in front of you, called the Lexus RCF. Once you see the information that comes up (it even has nice colored pictures and everything) educate your "genius" brain on what the Lexus RCF is. Compare it with this car that seats right in front of your nose and then go take a look at yourself in the mirror and try to figure out who is the dumbass that is embarrassing himself. Good day sir!

I just ignore people like this, I posted it here because I thought it was funny.
no offense but I'm an old folk. I am 50, so I am right about the same age as this guy, maybe 6-7 years younger, but my wife is 59 so IMO I am more than allowed to "diss" old folks, I'm 50, have 75% snow white hair but I keep my head shaved so you can't really tell, I have a hip replacement from a motorcycle accident 15 years ago and walk with limp and cane and park in disabled parking because I am old.
and yes younger folks can be afflicted with the same idiocy, perhaps more so.
however this isn't really about his comment, more about his attitude of superiority that he seems to have, it's not about dissing the old folk as much as dissing the arrogant and ignorant folk.
