The moderators at bimmerpost are actually the most sensible and level-headed when it comes to critiquing cars from competing brands.
It's the sheeple who are the problem. Some of them even have psychic powers. One of them has claimed that it's essentially a foregone conclusion that the M4 will beat the RCF on the track. We don't even know the specs for the RCF yet LOL

It is a bit sad reading all the comments from the majority of posters on those forums, and places like Autoblog, where there's so many disparaging comments simply because it's a Lexus. I thought we're supposed to be car enthusiasts, not badge hunters. There was even a guy that posted something to the effect of: "It doesn't matter how good it is, it's not a BMW, therefore the M4 is a superior car...".

I agree the mods are pretty good on that site.

Bingo. In my experience the people who buy luxury cars for the badge are actually "thirty thousandaires" (http://voices.yahoo.com/faking-rich-...735.html?cat=3)

on picture, both looks great.
my only beef is that rear looks little too much like frs.
i prefer rcf's interior for sure. i would have to reserve my final judgment. can't really fully grasp rcf yet. i might hate it. i might really love it.

That's not a problem since Lexus already has a very strong brand recognition and is already capable of outselling every single BMW & Mercedes in the most important market which is US&A

While I love the RC-F interior and the side profile is growing on me, I can't help but prefer the BMW front. It flows so much better than the RCF IMO

The more I look at this RC-F the more I know I'll like it in person. That being said, I have trouble understanding why some here don't understand that others would prefer the m4. The Lexus' angular styling is more aggressive but isn't organic and as instantly pleasing as the m4. The more conservative crowd will always feel more comfortable with the latter choice- the Lexus is something different (and exciting!).
Clearly that's not true. Let me know when reality sinks in for you- Lexus has very strong brand recognition but it's by no means the dominant player in every arena. And it's not US&A- it's USofA. GET IT RIGHT. 'MURICA

I'm conservative so I'll take the M4!
I applaud Lexus for finally make a coupe. Now make a luxury coupe I can purchase.
Lexus probaly should have added a DCT or something special to the transmission.
Oh well at least it has a big V8. Which I perfer

best part of M4 is front, and it looks rgeat, but at the same time, it looks like every other BMW front in past decade or more.
Sides and back are nothing special, especially the profile which is very boring and pedestrian in 4 series.
Compared to RC, 4 is half the effort basically... they changed minor things to make it a coupe and then called it different name. Like C Coupe for instance, and very different from A5 or RC which basically is another car.
