The more pics I see, the more I REALLY like this car. I've always wanted a luxurious coupe but to me the lack of practicality was the ultimate luxury...I could see myself driving this.
Even the front looks better to me the more I look at it...

Thanks for the folks who replied about there really being an RC F. I was thinking as a devil's advocate what if those camo spy shots were really this RC350, then there's no evidence of a RC F.
But hopefully there is more evidence. I hope so, I have a 2008 IS F and want to upgrade.

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).

And to think this is STOCK. I'm already thinking full BBK, lowered, Concave wheels, exhaust, maybe even fender flares…. Blackout the trim….

Also is it me or I find the production car better looking than the concept?
