2018 Mid Cycle Refresh?
Whats the likelihood of getting a mid cycle refresh next year as a 2018 refreshed RC? We saw a refreshed 2017 3IS that came out one year before the RC in 2014. With the IS sharing so many parts with the RC, I think the likelihood is high. I can't find ANY documented changes of the 2017 RC model year so I'm thinking they just carried over what they had from 2016 into 2017 which may signify a bigger change in 2017. I bet a lot of resources went into the LS & LC500 rather than the RC.
I'm predicting the following wishlist of changes
I'm predicting the following wishlist of changes
- 10" NAV screen. The small nav screen on the RC and IS were day 1 annoyances.
- 3.0 twin scroll turbo pushing 365 HP
- Triple beam LED available and standard in US market
- Removal of that ugly black plastic on the rear bumpers corners...

Haha, that's why I got black. I hate the look of the rear bumper, but think the front end of the 350F looks better than RCF. 3 Separate LED's will probably be outdated by then.

The 2.0 liter turbo produces 245hp at a little more than 61hp per liter. If they produce a 3 liter 6 cylinder version, ends up being 367.5HP at the same hp/cylinder. Considering it's a linear scale up and the same hp/cylinder as the 200t, I really don't think it's out of the question for a 3 liter turbo producing 365+ hp.
The current 2UR-GSE in the RCF has a V8 producing 467HP. I think there's still enough differentiation between 365HP and 467HP.

i like love them. I was on the fence about buying the RCF but It didn't have the fins. And I didn't need to spend the money. I've got white too. It kinda reminds me of the doors on the white Ferrari in the old Miami Vice.
