The car has badass looking sporty body except for the front end. If they can close the wide spreading open mouth at the bottom and use the current IS F grill on the upper part then this car would look more classy. See how the BMW, MB & Audi fronts look w/o too much awkward funky design. All these new F sport spindle grill with wide spreading open mouth can't last for long.

The Nissan GTR is a shade over 3,800lbs as well, and there aren't many people complaining about its performance ability. If Lexus delivers on the performance numbers like they say they will (dragstrip and road course lap times), then I'm not really all that worried about how much the car weighs. I mean who seriously buys a luxury sports coupe and then complains that it isn't "tossable" enough? The sound-deadning, electronic gizmos, leather, luxury, and other things that make a Lexus a Lexus are very much a part of this car. If you want something lightweight and tossable, then you should probably look to buy something a little more track-oriented. This is not going to be a pure sports car, nor is it meant to be.

After reading how Lexus is going to compete in performance as well as price with the likes of the M4 and C63 AMG. Pricing is going to be a make or break deal. The current IS-F pricing is 62K, I'm sure when this coupe is released in late fall 2014, pricing is going to be closer to 70K.
Who's gonna be the baller and drop 70K

It won't be mine, but my dad is in the market for a luxury sports car and I've put this one on his radar. He's ready to drop $100k cash (well, check) on any one of these luxury sports cars next year.
The RCF is nice because my dad writes checks for cars in full and drives them into the ground, and he's a pretty strong believer in japanese reliability. Although, he still has his eye on the likes of a 911 or an R8. That being said, reliability is huge for someone like him. He doesn't believe in leasing.
Unfortunately he doesn't like the front end of the RCF but he says it might grow on him and he'll have to test drive it.

i think it's amazing just how bland and boring other vehicles look after I've stared at the RCF/RC350 for a while
It's interesting - when the RC350 first came out I thought the design was near flawless except for the grill. Now that I see the RCF, I actually think the RC350's grill is quite a bit more reasonable and looks almost tame in comparison! The aggressiveness of the RCF has made my perception of the RC350 jump from a 9.5/10 to a 10/10.
