I dunno. White is my favorite color, but Yellow rocks on Lexus coupes.

Yellow LFA or LC or RC = All rock!

I think the yellow is nice.
I think the front plate looks terrible.
I also think some kids drew in crayon on your back bumper; hopefully that will wash off.

​​​​​​​2019 at $52,450 who be so lucky to buy it? Lexus Coping what competition does.
Biggest peeve i observe many drivers aren't to satisfied that the car is that slow. Some just trade there cars in for better B58 engine.
Here is one on used lot no return customers is indicative of the declining sales figures year after year.

2018 52K at whopping $38,988

At some point the depreciation values should plummet on RC. In 2015 there was little real competition that Lexus had now they have competition that is much better in every aspect. While used car prices don't reflect it. One thing is for sure Rc models sit much longer then the B58 counterparts. In less than 3 weeks b58 are sold. Here is link rating of car in 2015 Lexus was much better buy thus there high resale values. Now the tables have shifted, someone purchasing new or used RC compared to the competition should really reconsider value for money..

Cost to own found Lexus is overpriced and reputation of reliability is not all that matters.

While competition does much improved better job then years past. Although prices are more for the cost to purchase unless you get better deal the cost of ownership can be less the RC

Although I said that I liked it better in white, if that started out as a RC350 F Sport, I would NEVER put that kind of money into a car like that. But there is an A$$ for every seat.

Beautiful! That is such an underutilized color in modern cars IMHO

I see a lot of yellow cars these days. Some of the variance of yellow makes all of the difference to me to see
if the manufacturer pulled it off. In other words some cars just have better lines to carry the yellow. The RC
does a great job with the yellow, I just can't see me in one. I'm always drawn to black cars. I have had several
and I know, they are hard to keep clean blah blah. For me, the yellow, nope, but with the look of the RC, yessir.
The orange?.........well that would be a yessir as well, just not for me.

Love flare yellow! I so badly wanted my RCF to be in flare yellow... Sadly none were available. I've always loved yellow cars. My 03' wrx was sonic yellow. When I showed my wife the flare yellow the first thing she said was that doesn't look as nice as your white one. She thinks the white is way more classy looking. But I love that the yellow just stands out. Not sure if I'd get tired of it. Every time I see the yellow I love it.
