I'm not too sure if the site is running the correct info...

Soo far I'm not seeing that on these pre-production builds..

Even on this Carbon Packaged RC F..

Will have to wait for all the NCF PDF files from Lexus ... Along with all the Performance STATS..!!!

1) How much leg and head room at the rear seats. See if you can sit in the rear.

No leg room, unless your a toddler..lol


3) How much trunk space.

Surprised at how much space it has

I noticed that as well. Curious to see how they integrate the side sensors on the rear

One of the major complaints for taller people who owned / tracked their IS F's...
Definitely do no like the sunroof on top..

Damn too bad I missed it. Apparently they were showing the cars to the employees. I just saw in another thread that the RC also showed up at Irvine Cars and Coffee over the weekend. So I might hit that up this weekend just in case.

In the meantime I'm going to head over to Crevier to check out the 4 series haha

Hmm...don't know how old is the one in your pic but this white RC F with the Carbon Package looks like it has it.

Maybe the adjustable shocks are only at the rear?

One of the salesman said car won't be at dealer until november.

As for the 4 series, man talk about low rent interior. It's going to be hard to get used to that interior having been in the GS for the last two years. I thought the Accord interior is better. Very disappointed. But I do love the exterior and the wheels.

No boss...

That pic was taken TODAY... of the very same White RC F with Carbon Package..

The close up is the whole point of my photo..


When the pic is taken from the side you can see right under the strut brace cover...

should have AVS then, otherwise why have this funky shaped strut bar mount. Since the last ISF rolled off the assembly line perhaps the RCF production should start soon.

Why would Lexus highlight all the shocks and said it has AVS on their site?

BTW do you think your intake for the ISF fit the RC F?
