Why would Lexus Do this???

I would be very happy with an RC Coupe with the F-Sport package that gives it better handling and makes it look more aggressive. I don't need an RC-F with a V-8. I hope this is true.

If Lexus can give the RC F-Sport somewhere in the 330 HP from the 3.5 Liter V6 then it would make the decision very easy as a compromise to getting the RC-F.

Edmunds hasn't corrected their typo... 
They are claiming the new RC 350 F Sport will have a new 5.0 V8..
Was hoping they could have found a better way to separate IS F Sport vs IS F and the same will happen with RC F Sport and RC F...
They removed all the dashes and its messing with people's minds..!!

I read about this and yes its happening but i think the first two, the 2.0L turbo and the hybrid is not going to be available in the US. The 2L turbo is gonna be available in Australia and the hybrid in Europe. At lease thats where the trademarks has been approved. US only has RC 350, 350fsport and F
US will likely get 2.0t as well, and hybrid when the price of gas goes up again.
