Congrats! Be prepared to spend quite a bit more on gas, but many more smiles in return

Nice car!

They had to move one in the showroom while we were picking up our ES. It was the F-Sport Performance version (400+HP V8?)

The sound alone almost made me cancel our ES....unfortunately the wife was right there to make sure that didnt happen. It was even the apparently-hard-to-get Starfire Pearl/red leather combination! That still didnt sway her.

Good luck with it!

Congrats! Best color for appearing to be clean, even when it's filthy.

I agree with all the above!! Must be a real pleasure to drive and really a beautiful piece of machinery. Just my opinion, at least for my area, is never let the dealer wash your car.

Thank you,

This is bar none the best handling car i have ever driven, and ve had an M5 and a challenger SRT, this blows them both out of the water on Sport + mode. The rear wheels steer as well and the adaptive suspension is out of this world. I had the 2014 GS 350 and its not even close to the RC. Before i thought yhe F Sport package was just the grille and wheels but now i understand. WOW is all i have to say. Just wow.

Bear in mind your GS did not have AVS and was not an F Sport.

She's a beauty! This car has grown on me tremendously.

Looks like a very aggressive, very grown up FRS. I like it.

If you check my posts from 6 months ago i was hating on the RC but it really grew on me as well, and after driving it im hooked. I never thought a Lexus can corner like this. Amazing.
