Front profile will always look good in person. The rear looks nice.
The good thing is that the side profile actually looks nice. A weak area in the spindle grill Lexus cars

That I agree with, but I do think we'll have The RC350 and the RC-F pretty close together.

That leaves RC-F which will be shown soon enough (3 weeks) and then we have RC200t which will likely be shown at Geneva for European market and will likely not come to USA, just like RC300h.
So if we are talking about world wide, i think they will be released close to each other... most likely because competition will have their cars out (4 series), so it really makes no sense to wait with RC-F as people looking at it will then simply buy M4. And it will not be competing with other cars in its lineup, like RC350. Difference in pricing and power will be pretty vast between 350 and F.

I haven't seen anything about the LFA instrumentation the IS F-Sport offers for the RC line, yet. Would we expect it to be offered only in the F-Sport and "F" models?

do you guys mean in USA or worldwide? Because 300h is already shown in Japan, and RC350 will likely be only for USA.

The goal is to phase out the 250 motor all together..
Also we have had an RCF on the ground here in SoCal for the last 4-5 months.. Also it was seen testing recently at NOLA Motorsports Park during the yearly dealer meeting!! It's as ready as it will ever be.
