Yeah, the RC's are a tough sell. You would assume they would cost less than its counterpart (IS), being it is basically the same car, but in a coupe form. But, idk someone enlighten me

I agree, i'm same like u my previous car was 2011 IS350, my current 3gen IS350 fsport sound better louder, i don't know if its fake or not like other said.

you're right Nathan, RC and IS or GS = the same, the GS is more luxury interior it costs more, the RC has 1 or 2 more features therefore costs a bit more also plus the Coupe form yes you are right, power in general they used the same Engine 3.5, if u look at other brands, coupe/sedan they are the same too.

But Lexus body and trim are unique on a coupe and a sedan, coupe RC is too cool and Sedan IS is too cute, me i like the designed of IS so much, the front looks similar on every model but the side skirt and the rear looks amazing i admired the Lexus IS team design i wish i can give them a hug for great design, i personally like Coupe and refer to Coupe i also wish Lexus RC Coupe use the Body and trim of Lexus IS, i guaranty with Lexus Canada i will trade in my IS if they release an RC coupe with Lexus IS body/trim, or a Convertible 3gen IS would be awesome.

Coupe variants are almost always heavier and more expensive than their sedan variants. Coupes just look nicer.

I agree but a ~150 lbs more is a bit much

I had to give up my coupe due to kids. They hated it.

I do agree that the RC is more sporty and fun to drive as it sits lower to the ground/comes with 19s. But, it hard to justify spending 4-5k more on the RC for its minor upgrades/features.

I would love a coupe though, my first choice of car before I bought the IS350 was the FRS/BRZ. But, it was underpowered (I'm sure there are aftermarket option for MOAAR POWAHH).

Then, I checked out the M235i; the thing was a beast. However, being a BMW, I was afraid of the issues that may come. Plus, I found coupes to be very impractical =\
