Official Lexus RC thread
the rc is nice! it does remind me of something else, maybe from europe, but can't quite pin it down.

OMG it looks awesome!!
I was a negative critic of the 3IS but Lexus have totally redeemed themselves with this!
They have somehow managed to blend the smooth & luxury design of previous Lexus with the new sporty Lexus design scheme and the result is fantastic. It will also look 10x better in person!
And the interior seems to have gotten a vast improvement over the 3IS
I'm impressed so far..

Love the side view. Love the rear view (despite those odd vents). Love those headlights.
The grille? O.o
Odd that putting on a plate actually helps the look in this case... anyone agree? Helps "cut" the wide expanse of black in the middle.
Hopefully the F-Sport version will improve the look of the grille... But I'm also balking at the imagined visual of that massive black area ALL in one continuous mesh. Yikes!

car looks amazing... i am sure F-Sport will be better too.
It is close to the IS but just better... interior is similar but seems to have few things "solved" from what people complain about 3IS.
I want to get this car... it needs to have space in the back so 2 kids can sit properly, at least as "good" as 2IS :-).

This is so beautiful, it hurts.
It looks so different from the IS sedan and merits a whole new nomenclature unlike the BMW 4 series which just looks exactly like a 3 series minus 2 doors.
AND it's so much sexier than the BMW 4 series which looks like they ran out of ideas after designing the 3 series.
Makes the BMW 4 series look like warmed over leftovers.
