Can someone explain RC 300?
Please excuse my ignorance. But I am perplexed as to why Lexus would add yet another model to their RC lineup.
I totally understand the RF 467 hp....more is better....varoom, varoom. If this was my husband's "turn" we would have that instead of our RC 350.
I even get the 200t (well, kind of....doesn't mean I would ever buy it, but I get it). 4 cylinders, but turbo.
But I do not understand the RC 300. WHY?????????????
Although, I vaguely recall someone saying that Lexus is doing away with the 350 (306 hp) ..so maybe they want to introduce the RC 300 (255 hp) that will ultimately replace the 350?
The cost is virtually the same. And I'm not addressing the F Sport models because I am just looking at these with the Luxury packages (if one were to build).
What am I missing?

Huh?
But you can get the RC 350 in AWD so that doesn't make any sense. It is not entry level...one could argue that the entry level would be the 4 banger, but not the 300. It is virtually the same price as the 350 so how could it be considered an entry level vehicle when you can get the RC 350 AWD (unless the RC 350 AWD is thousands more for that feature).
