Default Car and Driver Compares RC350 F-sport to Justin Bieber



You know you're not going to love an RC F review when it compares the car to Justin Bieber.

Read the rest on the Club Lexus homepage. >>

Perhaps a small nuance, but they are speaking of the RC350 F Sport, not the RC F.

The Huracan is an understeer monster, but it's Italian?

Honestly, there is so much BS these days coming from editors masquerading as skilled drivers it kills me.

Default Editorial correction needed: This article is about the rc 350 fsport

Dave,

Can we achieve accuracy in the reporting of this coverage?

It is NOT about the RCF. It focuses on the RC 350 F SPORT.

They are entitled to their opinion.

Good thing I don't buy my cars based on someone else's driving experience. Imagine that.

Had owned an Audi and also a Porsche 911. No doubt great cars.
This is my second Lexus. When it came to purchasing the RC, for me, it was the over all pros and cons of owning the vehicle.
Even with my Porsche, I was not out there slamming on the accelerator on every opportunity, and definitely not driving it like I was testing it's performance every day.
It's true, that RC could have used more "grit" to it's character. But I enjoy the car for the way it is.
Quality with great curves. Love the car and never regret buying it.

Someone in the forum suggested that the comparison should have been made in more of a "real sense". Like how much do consumers really pay for these vehicles? the value retention?. I couldn't agree more.
It would be awesome to have that comparison.
