Any other reviews on the rear seats? Haven't heard much other than one guy who is pretty big himself. Can you fit anyone back there?

It looks very cozy to me. I believe the seats will serve the purpose of lowering annual auto insurance. If you have little people running around the house, they can comfortably sit back there.

I would not count on adult passengers finding ample seating in the back of the RCF.

I never have anyone in the back of the ISF, so making the leap to the coupe was no big deal for me.

Yep--I have more room in the back of my ISF. Of course, we are now in GT coupe territory with the RCF.

Lexus raises the bar of luxury and refinement with the RC Sport Coupe.

The Lexus RC F is based on the RC sport coupe and takes its rear wheel platform to the extreme. Think of it as the long-awaited replacement to the Toyota Supra in a more prestigious package.

Lots of nonsense gibberish (he keeps calling the RC-F "RC F sport LOL), but whatever

Some nice track footage at the end with the RC-F wailing at 12:53. Epic sound!

The Lingo is "broken" at the source.

Too many people say the term RC F Sport, and then confuse it with RC F.. or vice versa

Same happend with IS F Sport & IS F

It should just be RC350 and RC F ... done & done..

Maybe Lexus should just drop the F with the RC F sport, and just call it RC Sport, and use the "F" for the real "F" model RC F, same for IS and GS ......

Lexus marketing has really created a world of confusion with F and F Sport for owners. There are currently only two F models on the road - the IS-F and the LFA. The F Sport designation dilutes these models and has the average car enthusiast saying "they are the same thing" and only those who know the details of how Lexus has built these brands (probably because they bought an IS-F and don't like being told they bought an F Sport) can identify the difference.

We won't even consider the average car buyer. They are completely clueless to the whole thing and think just because a Benz has AMG wheels, it's an AMG. They still think Lexus is the LS and GS.
