not digging those rear vents but i quite like the interiors of lexus these days, modern with the digital gauge cluster, touchpads and all but a sense of analog-y simpleness with the center stack. i sat in one last year or so and damn, them seats are comfy yet supportive as fuck

Totally agree. There's something distinctly Japanese about their new interiors and it's a nice departure from the recent gravitation towards swoopy curvy interiors with out of place nav screens.

damn this will be a tough choice between the RC350 FSport and the 435i
will have to drive both i guess....the 6speed manual transmission in the BMW will probably sway me...but the lexus interior and reliability.....

The dealerships have been taking preorders for a bit now

I'm surprised at the pricing especially for the RCF

I saw the UK pricing numbers last week and thought it was going to be insane here as well
the RCF costs £59,995 over there and £67,995 for the carbon package which is $106,470 - $120,700

I wonder how much Lexus Canada is going to markup the cars

All the reviews seem to be extremely positive has me a bit but also excited

It's a low price point at $63,325 USD, in the US, relatively speaking when compared to other competing cars.

Add 10% for Canadian pricing and it will be around $69,000 to $70,000 CDN.

The M4 is $64,100USD base and the RS5 is $70,000 USD base in the US
OR
$75,000 CDN base and $82,900 CDN base in Canada.

So, $63,325 USD for the RCF is a good price point (again, relatively speaking in this segment) in the US.

Like:
I like that the engine is NA, even though other comparable cars are going turbo/supercharged (BMW, Audi next gen).

The in-cabin sound, in the video, sounds just like the RS5 probably due to the NA engine.

This car looks like a winner, but I still need to get used to the front end spindle grill.

Last edited by Marshall Placid; 09-05-2014 at 08:23 PM. Reason: RS5 was $77k base in Canada 2 years ago. Now, it's $82,900.

the only thing i don't like is the weight... like previous ISF this thing is heavy and even with that much power, it is still 200lbs (base RCF) heavier than the M4 ... adding the performance package which comes with CF roof, CF spoiler, aluminum hood and the heavy torque vectoring diff don't really save that much weight either, it still adds extra 50lbs on top of the 200lb extra weight over the M4... i can't wait to see the head 2 head comparison between the 2 cars though...
