According to the pics (thanks btw!), Clove looks no different than what a traditional beige or tan interior used to be. I'm surprised people are liking it. It doesn't appear to be a sporty color to match the sporty demeanor of the RC. I would think reds, blacks, and whites would run better duty here.

And that's why Clove will not be available on the RC F sport, nor on the RC F

Absolutely!
If you can wait ~18 months after launch, you'll save thousands and get one right off the lot.
A 5L V8 "muscle car" is super niche these days. (Meaning very few are interested.)

Ummm, No.

That would put it too close to the M4, and the F has always been below.

Lexus just posted on their FB page this side profile comparison of the RC350, the RC-F, and the RC350 F-Sport:

Default RCF vs FRS

Saw a FRS at work yesterday. Size wise are we looking at the same car?

no the RC is about the same length as the 2IS which is a few inches shorter than the 3IS. FRS is a little bigger than a miata

3IS is 183.7" long, 71.3" wide, 110.2" wheelbase, 56.3" height. Wonder why its longer. The hood must be longer for that V8 because the wheelbase is shorter
