Hey...no worries.
I can appreciate the hype of the IS500 has drawn folks to the 3IS forum from all across Club Lexus.
In all seriousness I don't visit the other vehicle forums on CL because I don't know the people, culture, vehicles, or topics of interest in those forums...that way I don't post something that rubs somebody the wrong way or looks like I don't know what I'm talking about.
I have members from the other vehicle forums within CL PM for help with their vehicles, which I'm happy to help anyone, but I wouldn't visit those forums purposely.
It's still nice to have you and flipside909 visiting us here to discuss the IS500.

Believe me, I wished all the F models sounded like the LC 500. The "F" branding is the pinnacle. Even the RC F Track/Fuji Editions with the titanium exhaust sound like a stock RC F.

Don't shoot the messenger: I have a deposit down for the IS 500. The dealer just told me "From what I understand, the IS 500 will be mid to hi $60k".
Please tell me that Lexus wouldn't make such a mistake......

It better be low $60K's if they want to sell it...at $66K USD you can get an RCF
I realize it's a sedan vs coupe...but neither has a stellar back seat.

My 2020 RC F listed at $79k The lowest priced 2021 RC F available in the US is $79k. Most of them are built this way, with a handful of Performance Packages at $90k and Fuji Speedway Edition at $104k.

Keyword is "starting at". RC F is a very low production vehicle. Majority are ordered the way I mentioned previously unless you special order it with no added options. Lean production. Toyota Production System is key.

The lowest priced 2021 RCF is not $79K USD.
However you want to rationalize it, the price is what it is as per Lexus.com.
