What is going on with the RC?
I went to Sewell Lexus on Monday to have my car serviced. I wanted to see the RC. They are being advertised in TV ads and on billboards in Dallas.
They list several in inventory, yet I didn't see one in the showroom or anywhere on the lot. Also, I expected lots of new buyers in CL but have only seen a few. Is it because there are no discounts right now?

I think those inventories are a regional inventory and not necessarily on the dealer's lot. My dealer in Mass now has an inventory of what's in their yard which they did not have before.

My dealer got two delivered on about the 10th. I bought one of them right away, and the other one (white) went into the showroom. My salesman, with whom I have been discussing this for months, says that deliveries will be slow, and most dealers won't have much of an inventory for quite a while, as they will probably be going out the door as fast as they are arriving on the lot. For this reason, swapping between dealers will be rare, so buyers will either have to be patient and wait for the color and the configuration they want, or they will have to settle. I got lucky and got exactly what I wanted right away (Infrared/AWD/luxury Pkg/NAV/and just about everything else and no ML). I felt like I do at the airport when my bag is the first or second to drop down to the carousel.
PS: It's worth waiting for. This car is a great joy to drive, handles extremely well, corners like a cat on velcro and is very comfortable. I don't know about the other colors, but the RC in Infrared really turns heads, and I've had a lot of spontaneous compliments. Come spring, I may not even miss the SC.

Thanks. I had one of the first SC430s in town, and drove it for almost 14 years. I do have the first RC in town, and would not be surprised if it sticks around for another 14 years.

Saw one at the dealer while getting service yesterday. Interior pretty much identical to the IS but with a bit more leather surface. Rear seats room pretty much tiny. Nevertheless I like the interior very much. I like that they have seat ventilation on the F Sport.
Now the bad news. I'm not a fan of the exterior. I feel it's too busy, too many lines, as if trying too hard. My gf called it too 'juvenile' and 'boyish'. Even though it was an F Sport the stance was not sporty at all. It's got the standard 4x4 wheel gap as other Lexus. I do love the spoiler.
I was hoping seeing the car in person will change my mind. My lease is due next summer and sadly it won't be the RC. At this point it will either be another GS, an IS, or the 4 series. I do like the new Mustang especially the GT350 too so we'll see.

Hopefully Infiniti will up their game with their next coupe due to Lexus's success with the RC.

We have had about 5or 6 come though my dealer (one of them an RC-F). of that every single one has been a pre-order and may sit on the lot for a day or two before being picked up.
