Life is short. At the end if the day, buy what makes you smile and stop trying to left brain a right brain purchase . . . and sitting around waiting for prices to drop to save $ 50 bucks on a $1,000 note??? Just buy the car already if that is what you want.[/QUOTE]

Lol, does he drive with both kids in the back seat every time he takes the car out? Does wife have a car with a back seat? Completely doable for some that truly want a sports car as their daily and have a spouse with back up. Others are more practical which is totally cool also.
Small back seat for a coupe??? I'd say its CAVERNOUS to the back seats my 18 and 19 year old daughters grew up riding.
I, however, agree, its all about priorities. If driving a sports car is a priority or sporty coupe is calling your name, RCF is completely doable with kids.
I just took a 4 hour road trip with wife, 3 1/2 year old in a car seat and dog in mine.
If someone is cool with a sedan with a big motor, then heck yeah . . . wait for GSF. GSF would be a big compromise to me, but may be very little compromise to others.

Here are pictures of all 3 on a rare occasion to have them all in the same place.

Lot of recent deliveries to the dealers. I know they were scarce to non-existent here just 2 weeks ago. Looks like one dealer has 2 and the other 4.
How old are your children. The big seat is actually pretty roomy for a coupe. We have a pretty thick car seat for our 3 /12 year old and she has plenty of room. I raised my 2 older girls in back seats much smaller . . .

The word "primary" denotes more than one car available. Perhaps use the words "only" or "sole" if you really think this guy was a single dad with access to no other cars and before taking a jab at my reading ability.
Lol at you comparison of an SC430 back seat. That car is tiny and has no usable back seat or is not comparable to an RC F back seat. Besides, that car is not very attractive and not in same league or markets as RC F. I can say without any equivocation that those of us former German sports car loyalist lured by the RC F would not even consider an SC 430 purchase in lieu of a 911, M series or RS5.
Drive what makes you happy. Me driving a 993tt, several 996tts and a 997tt since 1998 made me and both of my older daughters happy born in 94 and 95. Both became Porsche fanatics and one now races a Porsche in GTS2 and races Formula Mazda so stuffing them in small back seat appears to have no lasting ill effects.
The RCF is an answer to the 911 with a bigger back seat. Hats off the Lexus for making that happen!

Parenting is completely different this time around at 48. Keeps me feeling young. I did say I was done, ready to travel and etc., before meeting my current wife. Hard to tell younger wife no to kids . . . Turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I could not imagine life without Olivia.

Thanks guys. Having my girls around cars, crammed into back seats of sports cars and at the race track has been a wonderful family thing. My middle daughter has flown with me to pick up cars, rode with me in autocrosses at 11, she began racing karts at 14, 2 years racing with Skippy, and she now races both open and closed wheel.
Would have she gotten bitten by the bug if growing up riding in something like a GSF, S8 or large AMGs, I dunno.
