Thumbs down semi official 2018 news
So just opened the official 2018 Lexus line up brochure. Fairly disappointing for me at least.

changes
Larger nav screen with updated nav im sure
larger touch pad
safety plus added
wifi for a year

Same
No power increase in the same 5.0 v8
No body modifications
No wheel changes
No Lighting upgrades
Still can get the performance pack

No body changes mean the depreciation of 2015-17 models is lessened.

mmmm i dont see that meaning a whole lot as a car salesman. But its really disappointing. But there is still a chance something cool may happen as the fact that i Have the 2018 GS and GSF brochures and not the RC or RCF so fingers crossed.

Not semi-official, but official - Yep - really.

So you work for a Lexus dealer.. Other members on these forums work for Lexus dealers and represent the brand to. What does you representing Lexus have anything to do with your response to flowrider other than to brag? If you 'work for Lexus' then you should know the 2018 RC and F are not getting an exterior cosmetic lift. 'Semi official'?! No, its official. We should edit the title or close this thread.

Not without a lot of costly mods/upgrades. Might as well just trade-in and get the new model at that point.

Personally, I couldn't care less if the screen is larger. Without phone mirroring or decent Android/iPhone integration it's useless anyway.
This lack of basic technology is where Lexus drops the ball big time.
