I'm with you ... But maybe it's time I move on to something new, maybe even ...

I think I read somewhere that the orange color will be the same as the one used for the LFA Nurburgring Package. I'm not sure if the CCS-R also uses the exact same orange palette.

Also Nuluxe now has ventilated seats and they are standard on all models.
There are LED lights (projectors) and there are Premium LED lights (L shaped)

It most definitely won't be 80K+ for a well equipped build.

You'll probably see one of the first ones in Florida at the new Vossen factory, just like the IS.

Well, if you look at all the cars Lexus has produced they are all priced well for their individual classes. They have never built a car that wouldn't sell at the price they listed for.

Being that the RCF is in the same class as the M4, S5 and C63 Coupe it will be priced accordingly. So an 80K wouldn't fit in, maybe if there were some outrageously rare options available similar to the BMW Individual program or Mercedes Designo (Custom paint / interior colors, etc).

Lexus needs to start offering that in North America. The L-Select program in Japan is amazing and would be great for a car like the RCF ordered like an LFA.

Im torn between this and the new stingray. My wife loves the lexus, hates the vette. I love that new vet. I wouldnt buy the new rc until a few years after release. Hopefully from some rich old guy who drove it to the golf course

Ok, this makes sense. RC-F is back on my shopping list. No Carbon variant for me. I just want the performance model with TVD, if thats possible.

Default Pre order process?

How does pre-order work? Do you put money down? Are you truly guaranteed a car without a huge markup? Is it refundable?

Lexus "Mark ups" are extremely frowned upon by Lexus Corp. / Lexus USA.

Visit your local dealer and ask to speak to the Sales Manager regarding the pre-order process.

If you need a name up north let me know.. We have a few contacts spread over a few dealerships..

preorder in CA isn't part of this according to the brochure, but i am sure your dealership will be more than happy to keep a list of names
