docwra Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 IS-F was pretty awesome, RC-F is a bit ugly IMO. And heavy. And the M4 isnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I love how it looks. But it's a bit marmite I started a thread a while back but the general consensus was it's ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Theres a lot of chat about it not being so good on the track...but in reality how many people do that vs how many just want a fancy car lol It'll have plenty of power and it looks different...which is good. Wouldn't call it ugly, but def different. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 be nice to get a regular mans Rc250 or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Id like to see one in flesh, as I dont think photo's do it justice. I loved, and still do, the first Bangle 7 series he did, i thought it was a really interesting car to look at. Not the prettiest, but certainly different. Cars look better in the metal/flesh than they do in photo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangzoom Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I've seen one in the flesh, looks good/interesting, but not £60-70K good. It's also heavy, 1800kg for that is essentially a 2+2 Coupe. The GS-F on the other-hand is much more interesting, same weight, but size of a 5 series, 5.0 NA V8 ....Though it ONLY outputs 470bhp, which these days seem quite tame compared to the super saloons coming out of Munich/Stuttgart http://www.lexus.co....x#/Introduction Edited February 24, 2015 by gangzoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 He states are getting an RC250 and RC350h if I'm not mistaken. Do t think they're coming here. Shame cos I would probably have one over a 4 series Is the F as much as £60k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangzoom Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Is the F as much as £60k? The 'carbon' version with a LSD is £67k, to be fair to Lexus you can spec a M3 to £70k, and currently your struggle to get any thing more than £2k off the list price on a M3, and I bet you wouldn't get a penny off list on the Lexus. My local dealer only offered my £2k off the list price on a £41k IS300H, and that's a car which has been out on the market for over 2 years... Lexus are also very funny about only having specific engines in some markets and not others. For example the IS350 is getting rave reviews in the US, matching and beating the 335i / S4 in many reviews (The Infiniti Q50 usually comes last ). But Lexus don't see a market for the IS350 here in Europe so we just get the IS300H. If you look at howmanyleft, Lexus is probably right, BMW sold more M3/M4 than the 335/435i in 2014. One thing is for sure nice cars are getting expensive theses days Edited February 25, 2015 by gangzoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Capable car and looks good from some angles but I don't think I'd spend that kind of money on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf1985 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I like the look of this! Styling wise it looks like a beefier version of the Toyota GT86. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Drove by lexus glasgow today, thought it would be rude not to see the rc-f In a word.... Stunning.... I know it's always gonna be marmite with the huge front grille but in the flesh it really looks the part I will hopefully be getting a new car on lease this year for a couple of years then in 2017 I was thinking of the Infiniti q60 But he told me today that non f versions are coming to the uk next year. Most likely a 350 hybrid. That will be hard to look past Roll on 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Loved it....the pictures don't do it any justice at all. Loved it in white...I just wish they would ditch the stupid clock that looks so out of place in their entire range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I'm getting a bit of a chubby over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Agreed about the clock. A few companies have then across their ranges. Infiniti and I think merc did at some point. Doesn't tie in with the modern everything else Quite like the bonnet vent. Reminds me of celica gt4's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
