Default Why oh why a 2 door?

The RC F is so desirable. I would have bought it in a heartbeat when I was single and didn't have two kids + a third on the way. I always wondered why anyone wanted large sport sedans or even wagons. Now I get 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?

From the looks of it, the GS-F will be here in the not-too-distant future. Maybe not as quickly as the RC-F but eventually.

I have three kids too. RCF on order. If you really want it, you can make it work.

You can definitely make it work. I had a friend who was ordering a GT2 but had to settle for a Turbo because his wife got pregnant. The struggle is real.

It won't be an IS-F since it does not share the chassis with the IS. It would probably be a stand alone sedan.

I would like to have the 2 doors coupe for a performance car. It should be lighter and more agile so both handling and acceleration are definitely improved. Also 2 doors are better for autocross and even hard road racing. I want to see this car competing with the Porsche and the M3 head to head.

Personally I wish it was a real 2 seater, and not a 2+2. The rear seats in the IS are all but useless, I can't imagine what they'll be lil win the RC.
