I just picked up my first Lexus a couple of weeks ago. It's just a plain jane 200t but I'm very happy with it so far. It feels a little slow compared to the car I traded in.



This was what I traded in for my RC.

It was a tough choice. It was a great car but I just got tired of paying the notes on it. It was a lot debt to carry and interest to pay every month. I decided I'd be better off with something cheaper for a while. I just got married in February and I paid for the entire thing - including the honeymoon - by myself. My credit cards got a serious workout. lol

The RC seemed like a good compromise. I cut my notes almost in half and it's already helping me get caught up on credit card debt.

Wow, I have to say that Vette is stunning! I considered it with a couple others (Cayman, and F Type ) but the rear seats in the RC was the tipping point for me since I want to enjoy this car with my family together.

I love the RC because it just a really well balanced car that does a lot of things well. It's fun to drive, it's a little sporty, it's comfortable, it's practical... what's not to love?

Just turned in my '15 white/red IS350 f-sport for a '16 Arctic silver/red RC350 f-sport on Sunday.
Man this car is great! It feels totally better than the IS.
I have the following on order:
Takeda intake
Apexi throttle controller
ebay spoiler
Plastidip for emblems/tails (gunmetal/smoke/clear)
yellow vinyl for fogs
(might try to pick up a Joe z axle back exhaust used locally)
debating RSR springs
