I agree! It definitely takes away from the overall look and sophistication of the sport coupe. I mean look at the RC-F's rear bumper, does it have those lines or gills? No.....

If they just remove it or actually have it as ventilation for some reason... it would look better, but it is just fake x.x

I would like to have the ability to set the Home screen on the Nav screen as the default display. I don't understand why you can define the Home screen content and then can't set it as the default screen. It's silly to have to hit the Home button every time the car is started.

It's a little thing, but I also wish that the driving mode selector would stick between starts. For instance, if I was last driving in sport mode, then the next time I start the car I want it to be in sport mode. It works that way for Eco and Normal. Why not Sport and Sport+?

I read somewhere it has to do with the MPG numbers that the manufacturer claims for a car. It has to default to the mode where those numbers came from.

It would still be nice to have a setting where this could be changed. That way everyone wins.

I know I should not get exited ahead of time, but take a look at the SEMA pics for the 2016 RC 200t. Do I see Premium Triple Headlights? or is this just an after market upgrade for $8,500?

I would love if the torque was tuned to come in at the lower end, its very good up high but just needs some low end torque. Horsepower is fine.

Always the problem with overhead cam engines. No low end torque. Toyota uses a variable intake on their 4cyl which uses short and long runner lengths via a butterfly system helping that issue. At low rpm it uses a long runner to a certain rpm and then the butterflies open up creating a short runner for high rpm + more Hp.
Not 100% positive but I think they use a convential design on our V-6.

Now I'm glad they didn't put Triple LED lights on it in '15 as after driving a new 450h with all the gadgets and 12.3" Nav, it makes the option list on the RC look puny. Still a fantastic car, but I like toys and the new RX has them all, although I will be paying another $10k to get them.

Couldn't agree more. I think that way every time I press the home button
