Seems so. I wonder if the LED DRLs turn off when the indicator is activated. I always thought that looked a little weird.

In fact, RC wheelbase is smaller than 3IS wheelbase, probably to make it more nible (and maybe lighter?). 3IS has wheelbase similar to GS.

Every new photo makes the RC look more and more like a winner all round. The LED headlights, the quality of the interior stitched leather, the attention to detail of every curve on the front/rear end...

Absolutely love every part of the exterior design except for the front end. I've liked Lexus' aggressive front ends on the IS and LS, but I am struggling with this one.
Why, after so many years (last was pre-refresh RX), are we back to vertical spokes on the grille? Horizontal slats would add some elegance, which I think would be welcome for the non-F sport model. Something like the standard IS grille would have been perfect.
I am loving the evolution of fog lights here. Very cool, and the integration is slick.
Something about the headlights is not quite working for me right now, but I like the overall design.
All in all, this is an absolutely beautiful car. The lines and proportions are stunning, but that front end is just a little too much, I think. Vertical slits + splitting bar + mesh bottom part, all in one grille, is too busy. Too many lines, IMO.
I'd love to see Lexus stroke and update the 3.5L V6 a bit, for use in this car (and others, going forward).
