Which design do you prefer? ATS coupe or Lexus RC?

ep_83 · 02-28-2014, 03:30 PM

Which one of these two coupes is more visually appealing to you? It seems Cadillac took a more conservative approach with their coupe variant while Lexus decided to take their already bold styling a step forward.

RC, but I don't love either one.

i would have to say lexus. much nicer material use as well if they are anything like the other models

ATS

BMW269 · 02-28-2014, 05:19 PM

RC, but ATS also looks good. Now this segment is very attractive in general, the new A4/A5 are yet to come, but I wish Alfa had a 159 replacement too.

Lexus. Never liked Cadillac's styling.

NemesisX · 02-28-2014, 06:08 PM

Lexus.

I've always hated the fact that the CTSV has an absolutely amazing engine in a hideous body (IMO). I can't stand the "old man" look of the CTSV.

Well, the ATS is too bland and the RC too over the top so the perfect design would be a 50/50 blend of the two. I like elements of the RC better but it needs to grow on me. THe ATS is a very safe design that is inoffensive but not very moving (like the CTS coupe is, love or hate it).

NemesisX · 02-28-2014, 10:05 PM

The front profile of the ATS looks pretty nice. The side and rear are really boring, though.

hellrotm · 02-28-2014, 10:28 PM

Neither

One is over the top ugly. One is too bland. Hard to decide which one would bother me less, if I had to choose one.

I prefer the look of the Lexus but if Caddy drops the twin turbo V6 into the ATS coupe...I will definitely buy one.
