Default Big brother hanging out with the new kid!!!!

My local lexus dealership here in Pittsburgh got a RCF in and I went down and decided to check it out with the SC......Time to show the new kid on the block the ropes!!!

The sticker on the 2015 RCF was $$$73k.......ouch pricey...but they did let me fire it up and rev it....sounds beastly.....they didnt want anyone driving it yet as it literally just came off the truck

"Pricey" It's a Lexus! In inflation $ that's about what your SC would cost if built today. Couple of fine cars, good to see yours is back together.

Exactly what I was thinking lol Obviously nice still, is it just me or do most of the lexus's come with a pretty high ride height, or at least wheel gap? I feel like it's greater than some other luxury brands. I understand for comfort I guess but still.

Funny, the first time I saw the spy pics of that car, I thought it looked like Hyundai's imitation of a nice car. Granted, I'm far from a fan of the current Lexus front end ("if it's ugly on one car, let's use it on all of them!"), but the funky curves around the tail lights look really weird from certain angles. Like chintzy body kit weird.

I'd take the SC next to it any day, even price aside.

From what I read, the reason behind having a very high ride height is because the government have guidelines and requirements of minimum distance from wheel to fender well for Japanese imports to be able to fit snow chains. Because in other countries same models are comparably lower than the ones here in US. I don't really like how this is a rule for Japanese imports when BMW have very nice stance from the factory.

Exactly....the 92 SC300 is the first car to have a 2JZ as well.....it is the pre-cursor to the Supra which came out in 93.....

I like to think of the SC as a fine wine.....it gets better with age!!!

I personally think the RC is hideous. Thought I'd change my mind once I saw it in person, so my girlfriend and I stopped by the dealer here and looked at the one parked outside.... Even worse in person haha. The headlights are mostly what kills it for me.
