Default RC350 F-Sport just landed on Guam

Going to drop by dealer tomorrow morning to check out the RC350. Will take some photos. These are production version and are for sale. If anyone has anything they like me to check please post your list.

Default Rear leg room... Little to none :-(

Stop by the local dealer to check on the two RC350 that arrived yesterday afternoon. One is white (basic model) and other Orange (F-sport). Sales rep was unable to find the keys to get entry as the vehicle was in process of being prep. Sales rep said by Friday the cars will be ready for me to view.

You can see from the photo it maybe possible to fit someone in the rear passenger seat if the front seat is moved forward. By how much I need to sit in it to give a impression.

Default RC-350 F-Sport

Some more photos. The front seats look to be push all the way back giving zero leg room.

Wow I can't believe the complete lack of space in the back seat.

Hard to see through the windows and the clear plastic bag draping over the front seat does not help either. Will post better picture once it is ready for me to check it out more thoroughly this Friday. I'm 5'9" and I will adjust the front seat to see how much room there will really be for the back seat.

There's actually a little more room than that in reality, as the front seats are pushed all the way back. I saw in an RCF that's being shown around Lexus dealers in Australia this week, and with a 6 footer sitting in the front seat, I was still able to fit into the back (I'm about 5 10) but it was quite tight. It's fine for children or short rides for an adult. Maybe like a 2IS but marginally squeezier.

Oh man, how I'd like to buy a car exactly like that with the plastic still on there. Too cool.

Won't be for sale until after the Lexus event at the end of the month. They will be sending out the invitation soon.

Default RC350 F-Sport at showroom now

Drop by the showroom before going to work. My biggest question were the rear headroom and leg room. I am 5'9" slim build. Top of my head touches the roof. Anyone shorter than 5'9" should be able to sit comfortably. The front seat were adjusted to my driving position. I have photos of the passenger side (front and back) which I will upload later. Need to head out to a meeting shortly.

Here is some photo of the level to move the front seat back. The driver side does not automatically move forward. The passenger side it automatically moves forward and return back to the previous position.
