Have anyone here looked at the new RC F? I have seen a lot of press, but I haven't seen it in person. It appears to be pretty small on the interior. Cool factor if off the chart. I know we have an RC section to check-out, I'm just curious if the GS folks have opinions? or

 

I like the car, but it's not really made for taller people. I'm about 6' 1" and my hair was brushing on the roof of the the RC at the dealership. I did lower the seat all the way and adjusted it to my seating position. It's quite a tight interior, no one could sit behind me and it wasn't the easiest to get in and out of due to the large sills. Made me stick to the GS. I might be able to forgive those things on an RCF, but definitely not on just an RC.

 

I'm 5'10" and fit someone in the front and rear passenger seat my knees had to be touching the dash and the back of the seat. When I set the driver seat to where it be comfortable, there was less than an inch of space between the seat back and the rear seat.

 

That back seat is just useless.

 

Yep definitely. All 2 door cars (or at least most) are that way. It surprises me to see how many people with GS' consider an RC, beyond apples to oranges.

 

I waited to sit in an RCF. Very tight cockpit style versus cabin width comfort of GS. Glad I went with GS F Sport.

 

I went to my dealer and sat in RC350 FSport today (not drive) and it's just so tight in there, it feels just like an IS and the backseat is definitely useless. I'm a tiny 5,7 Asian and the back seat is still useless.

They're really treating this car like an LFA, can't even test drive it and they mark up the price by $3K. Damn it's not even an RCF. Even my salesman said don't buy it now, it's not worth it. lol

I still like my GS better.

 

At least they got rid of the "mouse", which I hate. I assume it's a harbinger of things to come in the next year on the rest of the Lexus line.

 

its small inside, but i love how it looks.

keyes lexus has a white f-sport one with aftermarket black wheels, looks super aggressive.

cant imagine what an RC-F will look like with wide wheels and a drop!

 

I like the touch pad and the frame less rear view mirror. Search for price on Sewell cost $800 for the mirror so I pass.

The RC look just like the Scion FR-S with V6 engine and a hefty price tag so I'm glad I got the GS.

 

Went to the RC launch event at my dealer. The RC 350 and F Sport both have some bs plastics in their interior and a cheap glove box door. It's not in the GS class at all. Looks cool though but as others have said, it's not really made for big people.

Guess I'll just hold out for that GS-F. May make enough to afford it easily when it hits production. That or the Infiniti Eau Rouge.

 

So many people here saying they're glad they got the GS instead of the RC. Other than being the same brand, they aren't even in the same class, apples to oranges. That's like me saying "Omg so glad I got a Taurus instead of a fiesta". It's like duh..

 

I don't think it's quite apples to oranges... More like peaches to pears lol. If someone is looking for a reliable luxury car that looks good and has no preference on body style, I can see them cross shopping the two.

 

Haha

But they demand a premium price or even more expensive than the GS. The lease on the RC is just blown out crazy expensive.

 

I think that's why some dealers are saying wait for incentives. A brand new model will be expensive for first adopters. Next year or two after it has been debugged and discounted is the time to shop.
