He really is a Lexus enthusiast, the site could not be named better. Great guy and always active with new articles and insights and I've learned a bit from his write-ups.
From what I've gotten, there will be a significant marketing push for the RC, larger than the IS and GS combined…..

i doubt it will be bigger money wise, because while coupes are cool and important as halo vehicles, they dont sell much... and RC is not made to be best seller IMHO, if they wanted big sales, they would make it more usable... to me, shorter wheelbase means they prefer great handling to great sales, which is exactly what they would want from Halo vehicle.
So it will handle well, win comparos and do decent sales, if all goes well.

I think the LF-LC will be the halo vehicle not the RC.
plus i think bmw sells quite a lot of 3 coupe / 4 series compared to sedan version as well

i expect a lot from wide track, short wheelbase, low center of gravity coupe... both IS and GS handle great and this should handle even better.
I might even get it, if there is enough space in the back for the kiddies...

20th is press days.. but maybe they will keep RC F-Sport for some other show coming soon after, like Detroit? It is usually done that way.
