On the weekends, its Landcruiser time. I keep hearing that the rear seats in these cars are useless. For me, they are a blessing. Have you seen how many people fit into smaller cars in the rest of the world You can do it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!

Now that Lexus is serious about performance and competing with M's and AMG's, why start with a coupe? Why not start with the GS F?
I don't understand this sentiment.

I would not count on there being a sedan. The RC is a Radical Coupe.

Also, the RCF is built on a version of the Lexus IS platform, and the wheelbase has been made 2.8 inches shorter to match the 107.5-inch wheelbase of the outgoing IS-F sedan. http://www.automobilemag.com/feature...-f-first-look/

RC F is designed with high performance to win on a autocross and track as it is directly competing against the M3 and M4. It is not for fitting a whole family with bunch of kids cruising around lol.

I have been waiting for a this kind of car from Lexus for a long time. RCF woohoo!!!

I agree.

When I visited Asia, I vowed never to complain about a car being too small when I saw something similar

This is true. I used to grow up in Asia and I'm part of this in the picture but NOT this extreme though. I'm feeling blessed driving a Lexus now lol. You all should not complain about the small seats :P
