Mmm not really. Its not about 20" its about the amount of mass that is spread across the whole length proportionally. Just then you can see how much actual volume goes into in to those 20".

 

hood is going to be more massive because its a V8 hood vs a boxer 4. The FRS hood is really low compared to most cars almost like its a rear engine car.

 

lol as others mentioned, it's crazy to think this is close

IS - 184inches
LS - 200inches

by your definition those cars are in the same segment

outside of this topic, i am quite happy with all the other color variants i see so far

 

The LFA is actually more compact than a 911. Pictures make it seem larger, in person it is quite compact which surely is one reason handling is so amazing. It is really a tidy car.

 

I received an email from Westside Lexus in Houston states that the RC-F will be tentatively priced starting in the mid-70s. I called the salesperson who sent the email to inquire about that price, as it seems significantly higher than expected. He said that they were told to expect the RC-F "base" was indeed mid-70s and that the carbon package would be priced around $83k. I asked if that included dealer mark-up due to demand, but he said that was the MSRP.

It seems that Lexus will be pricing themselves out of a target market that includes the M4 unless this changes. The salesman didn't seem to concerned when I mentioned this, stating that the demand for the volume they plan to produce didn't worry them and didn't particularly mind the suggestion at going the M4 route instead. Some sales skills...

Hopefully that's a severe overestimation of the actual price, but there's no way I would put down a non-refundable deposit on a car at that price point.

 

Will skip at 75K, better deals for MB's and Vettes. That said everything is speculation at this point.

 

Honestly I don't really care what the price is. After owning several exotics, and missing out on the LF-A, I'm glad Lexus is coming out with the RC F. I gave the dealer my specs, and said just "get it". Lexus will have no problems selling all they can make, even if it's $80K.

 

are people really going to flip flop between cars for $7k? Would think that if you're in the market at this price, your mind is already made up.

 

Your dealership is flat out wrong. They are simply pulling a number out of the air.

There is already a brochure out posted by a member here with pricing on it. Loaded RC-F for $70,000 and carbon package for $77,000.

That is exceptionally competitive pricing.

 

I replied to the email and received a response from the internet rep at South County Lexus. I replied asking for any guesses as to leasing but no reply so far.

 

Since the RC 300H (hybrid version) isn't on the brochure, is it safe to assume that it won't be coming to the USA?

 

Signature worthy!!!

 

RC 200t
RC 300h
RC 350
RC F

It would be nice if we got all four in the States, but I'm not banking on it. I do think a hybrid luxury coupe could be a huge hit for Lexus though.

 

Expect $83k for the full package with carbon with options...just what it is. And it won't be for everyone, just as the ISF was not for the masses.

 

Absolute price isn't the concern.....it is a question of value.
