I read this comment on Motor Trend:
Totally nailed it. For an "entry-level" coupe, its exterior looks like it could go punch above its weight class and go up against the 6-series. The other cars in its class all look dated and a class below. The RC is the W222 S-class of its class. 
Now imagine what Lexus can do with the production version of the LF-LC which I'm guessing will resurrect the SC nameplate. :O
It looks like an exotic which nothing in its class can say, and I think its a good thing. Love it or hate it, its very striking.

Where once, it led in quality and dependability but was perceived as building boringly styled cars, now it's actually taken the initiative in forward exciting car styling with the Germans on the backfoot in this department.
Now the Lexus RC is fresh and exciting while making the equivalent Germans (4 series/A5/C coupe) look dull and pedestrian.

After looking at all the pics, Overall this is one Awesome looking car......to me this is probably the nicest Lexus design since the 2GS. (Not including LFA)
It looks Sporty & Elegant, very muchlike the Maserati GranTurismo.
Im still not fond of the grill and the rear PorscheTurbo-like vents....Fsport model should fix that.
Cant wait to see RC-F

A few questions;
- when will RC have it's own forum?
- based on normal Lexus timelines when should we expect model specs/options/regional variances?
- tweet today from Lexus makes it clear they want everyone to know RC is not IS coupe. Any possibility of engine/power increases over IS?
- Detroit is next big event (Jan?) correct?

Lexus' F and MB's AMG are on the same route in offering no manual option, and BMW will be following suit soon enough as the next M5 will have no 3rd pedal option
