Why didn’t Lexus create an “F” SUV? Would you trade it in for your RC F?

Just picked up this morning. Replacing my hail damaged 2014 RX450h. I got the F+Sport package 3 because I want an engaging drive, but I agree with above that Sportscars and SUV should not be mixed. High center of gravity and weight etc. Just physics. I do love the Ferrari Purasangue, but only Ferrari can pull off something like that.

I think it would be very cool. I wouldn’t trade an RC-F for it up it would be a fun family car.

The Jaguar F-Pace that I drive sometimes has a supercharged V6 with 340hp. It’s pretty fun to drive on the highway, with big potential to make more power with mods. Its main downfall is that it’s expensive to maintain and rides like sports car. I would love to see a performance Lexus with the RC-F V8 in it.

Well, I wondered what a performance SUV would be like so I test drove an Aston Martin dbx707. Moving through the modes the chassis got stiff enough to handle the power and keep sticky to pavement. However in normal driving mode the ride was harsh so long trips would be tiring especially for passengers. And the worst... We ***** about the electronics in our Rcfs ... Aston Martin is a generation behind us, so 2 generations behind state of the art . Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful machine inside and out with good luxe touches. But SUV needs to accommodate the whole family IMO.
