Lexus RC Coupe

critical05 · 12-13-2013, 01:51 PM

First time I've seen this car and it caught my eye. Supposedly going after the 4 series crowd and possibly a 450hp v8 in the horizons.

Fugly. I cant decide if it looks like the M4, a cracked-out buick or a g37

dkexige · 12-13-2013, 02:46 PM

Is it just me or does it already look ricey?

This is a G37/Q60 competitor. Combined they're in the same segment as the F32, but no one in an F32 is ever going to say "I upgraded to a Lexus RC".

Mardio · 12-13-2013, 02:52 PM

The front end is just wrong imo.

Blindside_137 · 12-13-2013, 03:02 PM

WTF is Lexus doing with their designs lately? good god

NikosBM · 12-13-2013, 03:03 PM

love

Dylanize · 12-13-2013, 03:04 PM

I just do not like lexus' new design language at all... Blehhh.

I loved the first gen IS when they came out though, nice and simple.

4e6yPaLLIKa · 12-13-2013, 04:41 PM

Ugly.

MattMD · 12-13-2013, 05:03 PM

Why couldn't they just make it a mini LFA?

Ugly... Powertrain will be good though, always is.

The Cleaner · 12-13-2013, 05:34 PM

The front Grille/bumper opening combo is bad on the current models and they made it even bigger?

Meeni · 12-13-2013, 05:38 PM

Top designer at Lexus has inspiration.

The fins on the back bumper look pretty rice too. Unfortunate, the rest is actually decent.

notnow · 12-13-2013, 05:48 PM

Front looks retarded but the rest of the car looks pretty nice.

The Cleaner · 12-13-2013, 05:58 PM

The Lexus fanboys are happy in the posts at the bottom of that link.

This guy threw in some algebra or something to clear up any questions.

"the RC is from the LF CC its like this the LF CC = IS = RC which is why they sharing a design cockpit ... the LF LC is something more of a ultra Luxury Coupe (LC) the LF CC (Compact Coupe) is the IS/RC compact vehicle or a large vehicle .. the blogs doesn't know anything they all hate Lexus and try hard to put down Lexus the LF LC is to be a new SC In the line up and sit between the GS and LS"

fravel · 12-13-2013, 06:20 PM

Wow that's bad. And I thought the F30/32 was ugly... this is a whole different level.

rick100 · 12-13-2013, 07:17 PM

Front is ugly

interior is nice

iBoost · 12-13-2013, 08:09 PM

I love the side and rear profile. The front needs work, too much of a black weird shape blob on it. I can't connect a v8 sound coming from that though.

NemesisX · 12-13-2013, 08:50 PM

This is like the 4th or 5th repost on this subject

There are tons of Lexus RC threads in the non-BMW forum.

Firebirdof06 · 12-13-2013, 09:12 PM

Back end is nice. Front, why?

And why is the Lexus logo so damn big everywhere?

Akleifg · 12-13-2013, 09:47 PM

Too bad the suspension will feel like a waterbed. The front end would be a lot better without the afterthought fog lights. Forget modding this thing.

I'm not a fan of either the new 4s or Lexus's attempts at hi performance cars. I'm going the other way, next car will be either a 997 s or an e46 m3 (depending on budget).

Akleifg · 12-13-2013, 09:56 PM

US license plate on the front is going to be weird.

silver07335i · 12-14-2013, 07:01 AM

The design for the front of the car looks bad.

What do you mean lately? I know what you mean the new front ends look like they were wrecked from the factory, but the lexus designers are no strangers to ugly.

Lexus has'nt made a good looking coupe besides the LFA imo.

This one's not bad though
