Default When will RC go on sale?

I am hoping that Hoovey, Blueprint, or one of the other Lexus insiders can answer this question: When is the RC going on sale? I am planning to get a C6 Grand Sport later this year. However, I've owned three other coupes in the recent past, and the build quality of each of them has been substandard. Thus, I am seriously thinking of getting a Lexus for my next car, and the RC is the best fit. But the longest I can wait is maybe Feb/March 2014. If it won't be available till later, then I will get the Vette.

You're going to be getting that C6 much sooner than the RC


2015

Is that 2015 Calendar Year or Model Year? If it is model year, then it is possible that the '15 comes out in January or February 2014.

Also, the LF-CC concept was shown in Q4 of 2012. So I would think the production RC would be available 12-15 months after that.

1. CLK320 - Great balance of sportiness and luxury. Horrible transmission.

2. Mini Cooper S - Biggest POS ever. I elaborated on this in previous threads.

3. Mustang GT - I absolutely loved this car. Mustang GT was my dream car in high school, and I finally got one when I was in my 30s. However, the parking lights would stay on even after the car was turned off, and 2 different dealers couldn't fix it. Then the engine died while I was driving on the highway, and the dealer couldn't find the cause. After that, I decided to trade it in.

4. Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track - very fun car. However, it goes through tires, brake pads and rotors like there is no tomorrow (Brembos are expensive). I want to get rid of it later this year before I need to spend ANOTHER $2,500 on those items (already done it once this year).

Hmm...the Reason to rid of your Genesis is not so conviencing.

Thanks blueprint for the next fall hint. I will wait until then as well.

Lexus said RCF will be 2.5 liter 4 cylinders and hybrid motor in it. Hm....is it true ?
