That being said, I checked out the backseats and its tiny! The IS already has limited (relative) backseat space, space issues are compounded with the RC, but that's just the nature of a coupe.

Performance wise, you're not giving up anything. However, if you want to get technical, the RC gives up 250 lbs more.

They also subtle changed the layout of the center console. The mouse is replaced with a trackpad, which I assume is better.

Lastly and most importantly, I had a GREAT deal on the IS350. RC350, they weren't budging as much.

If I were to do it again, I'd still give the nod to IS350 with all factors considered.

I change my mind and bought the is350 3 weeks ago , save $10k to upgrade something fun for my is350 .

The IS is simply more convenient, better looking, and cheaper!

If you don't need a backseat, then the coupe is sportier and looks better (opinion of course).

I have a 3 month old, so I had to go with the IS35 F Sport...but if I didn't have a baby, I would've gotten the coupe.

However, the RC is a beautiful vehicle. If I were much younger, I would choose the RC.

The pillar is just too far forward. While I was at the dealership buying the IS, the RC was on the showroom floor, and the longer door would have been perfect for someone of my height. Other than that, I love the IS.

The RCF doesn't have it but that's out of my price range..
