Default Another RC Owner

Not a new member here Just purchased my RC 200T F-Sport MSRP a little above $50k and wanted to share some pics. This is my 4th Lexus. Recently had a 2015 GS 350 F-Sport, loved the car nothing wrong with it. Matter of fact wish I could keep them both! Anyways, here are some pics to share.

RC 200T F-Sport for 50+?? Might as well have gone for the RC 350 F-sport RWD for almost the same price.

I said "MSRP" was over $50k I didn't say what I paid for it :-)

I had the RC 350 before, loved it and knew what to expect. I knew what I was getting into with this turbo 4 cylinder (less power) and a bit better gas mileage for daily driving which works fine for me.

Everything about that car minus the headlights looks amazing.

Thanks I am glad I picked this color. I'm just wondering now how maintenance will be on the color ( scratches etc.) now since it was a breeze having the nebula grey color before on my GS350...I do use the two-bucket method to wash my car but man I think I washed that nebular grey GS about once every few weeks, if then. The grey color was very easy to maintain.

Gas mileage does pretty good on the highway. I have already seen up to 34-35 mpg on a straight open road. In the city not too great, but then also I leave it in sport mode almost the entire time so that's been averaging around 22mpg in the city on premium gas.

I've got the Triple-LED setup here in Canada, it's ridiculous. I wish US owners were able to get this on the 350 / 200T / 300 ... sigh...

I just went and looked, that's cool looking; I wonder why we can't get them.

Congrats and love the USB color. Regarding its maintenance, I found it to be similar to Nebula Gray, both much better than Obsidian.
