They love the engine and handling

Keep thinking back to those arguments of how the M4 was supposed to blow the RC-F out of the water (a lot heavier, supposedly less powerful than a so-called figment of imagination "underrated M4"). That simply ain't happening now that ***** got real.

What ridiculous reasoning for not choosing a car... totally subjective factors.

Couldn't agree more!

Thanks for posting.

I see Edmonton dealerships now have the RC-F. Will have to go check my Calgary dealerships, they must have those as well now.

I love the styling. Way better than the bmw and co. Even the new ATS-V. Its bland. If youre paying 70-80k on a coupe, you want it to stand out. Plus you cant see the styling while youre driving!
