Default 1st RC F has arrived in Phoenix

Arrived yesterday, Nov 8th. Nebula Gray/Black leather. Has TVD, MSRP around 74K. As of yesterday (Saturday) afternoon, it was still unclaimed. My F is on the way, should be here in ~10 days.

Test drive was great, although limited because they understandably do not want to put miles on it.

For those wondering, Nebula Gray is stunning in the sunlight. The car has really beautiful lines, and looks great in this color.

The black leather has a very interesting feature: in the perforations you can see the blue color associated with Lexus F. It gives the seats a really cool look. The seats themselves are very comfortable with excellent bolsters.

I've read there have been some questions regarding trunk size and spare tire. The spare tire rests under the floor of the trunk, so there is no bump as has been noted in other parts of the world.

Feel free to ask any questions, I'm happy to help.

Nebula Gray is a beautiful color in the sunlight!

No spare tire for the US market? At least you don't have to deal with the huge bulge in the trunk... think of it as weight reduction you guys are lucky lol

Thanks, Joe. Total brain fart on my part, not sure why I thought there was a spare in there.

Also didn't know that the ISF had the same blue highlights within the black leather. My ISF has white leather, and I've honestly never looked that closely at one with a black interior. Very cool!

I may need to go take a look at this.. SS Lexus has been trying to buy my IS and I have expressed that I will entertain trading it in to them when the RC-Fs start to come in.. The color though isn't my first choice so I may have to wait..

Thanks for posting the pics!

The fact that Lexus includes blue accents (stitching, perforations, etc) no matter what color you get makes me think that USB is the way to go...

I like the other colors, but USB 2.0 represents the F brand.
