If Lexus made another GS400, I'd sell everything I own for one.

Just get the GS-F?
Its not a sports car IMO. I agree with you that it is a GT Coupe. Touring all the way. I test drove the RCF and had my heart set on it at first but I was very underwhelmed when I drove that too. Not worth the extra 17k for that boost in HP. At that price point an S5 or M4 >. Decided to wait to see what BMW had in store with the M2 and also what the Toyota/BMW sports car would be. By the time my lease is up those cars should be out. The looks of this car are killer though and that's what snagged me.They tried to make it ride like a Lexus but there were differing reports/reviews on it, some say it is good as a sports car while others say it is a bit more tamed. Once thing that everyone agrees on is that it is very heavy.As an RC F sport owner, the car is NOT a performance coupe. It's more like a 2 door IS that's as heavy as a GS. It's all looks and is terrible on performance. It's so heavy. If it came with more torque to get the big body moving off the line it would be better. Just very slow. I will say though as a cruiser this car is really nice. Great ride quality. Biggest gripes are the dated Navi and screen interface and the seats retaining heat and blowing hot air when you have the cooling fans on if the car is out in the sun for a couple hours. The GS F sport has a very nice in dash setup with an HD screen. The RC has a 640x480 vga 10 year old looking screen.
Different strokes for different folks but as far as looks, the RC is one mean looking car. I wish Lexus would really spice up their powerplants in these cars. The styling is really nice, just has no soul when driving them.
Personally looking at an M2/M4 or even the new Supra with the BMW Turbo powerplant when my lease is up.
I think the RC350 is more like a GT coupe while the RCF is their full on array but it does fall short against it's rivals but most also agree that it is a good first attempt.
I'll agree with you though since you own it
man i opted out on getting the black interior instead of the red interior. i'm not sure whether i made a mistake lol. how do you guys feel about the red interior for the f sport?
You goofed. Red interior is flames.
Heard too many horror stories about Nissans. Can't do it.
Every year, thousands of people buy two-door coupes that bear the badges of BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Audi RS, and Cadillac V. These cars are powerful, fast, agile, and - if you believe the marketing - are made to kick *** on the track.
But, and this is just my theory, only about 0.2 percent of these owners actually drive their cars the way the companies intended. Most buyers, I think, want the image put forth by an M4 or C63 AMG more than any dynamic abilities. These people just want to give the impression that they're out tearing up the local road course, and a $70,000 sports coupe and a pair of Pilotis are just the ticket. Which is not to say they don't use the performance of these cars, just not the full track-day capabilities. If this describes you, I recommend checking out the new Lexus RC F.
The Lexus RC F isn't the dynamic equal of its competitors. Instead, it delivers a good blend of everyday livability, and it does so for a more reasonable price. While it isn't likely to appeal to people buying cars for track days, it's a good deal for folks who just want to look the part.
Red interior is dope and all but I feel like I would get tired of it afyer a week. Black or tan interior >>>>>

Each definitely has their own nuances.
Only car i can really see being boring for daily driving is something like a Prius which doesn't move even when you floor it but give me one to trash at the track and I'm pretty I'd have fun with it.
Doesn't your mom own a GS? How is it working for her even without AWD?
Just noticed they have a GS200t now as well. Digging the subtle design change of the grill.
There was no GS-F in 2013 unless you meant GS F-Sport?
Which is also funny because many favored the GS-F over the equivalent 5-series.
