The wife refused to let me consider any color other than black, and I questioned her about the sanity of a black car. Beautiful when clean, abysmal when not. It was not my first choice only because it is such a time suck to keep looking good.

I'm told that Caviar is easier to keep looking good than Obsidian because it contains metal flake:

Both blacks are options on the LC. Actually Caviar was my third choice behind Nightfall Mica and Smoky Granite Mica.

Bringing this back
I never owned an RC F, but I have owned my modded IS F for close to 11 years and it's a GREAT car. But, it will be on the block soon. I bought a new MY18 LC this week. The car is in Nebraska and I'm in Arizona. Next Saturday I fly out to pick it up to drive it home.

^^^^That LC is a strange bird, and at a serious disadvantage. It was equipped with the sport package seats, but had the base 20" (8½" 9½") cast wheels. The tires mounted on those wheels are (245/45 & 275/40) RFT all season. The RC F is running 19" forged wheels (9" & 10") max performance summer tires (255/35 & 275/35).
No way was that close to being fair. Why Lexus chose to hobble the 20" wheels with such non-performance tires is beyond me![Thumb Down](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif)

That was just an example. There were other cases like with Christian Menzel with the 21 inch wheels. Don't get me wrong. The LC platform has its own advantages. It is more modern architecture and chassis is stiffer than even the LFA's chassis, but there is definitely that 350lbs difference that is a factor.

I love the look of the LC, seriously thought about one.....the RCF at least has semi useable back seats. The LC - forget it.
I needed a car that I can take the family out - the LC just didn't check that box. But a great looking (and sounding) machine. The RCF should have came stock with that LC exhaust note.

^^^^Actually Not True. I watched the whole 44 mins. of the video. If you don't want to spend the time go to 36 mins and watch to 38 mins. They compare the LC with the RCF and GSF. In short the narrator was very positive and enthusiastic about the LC.

everyone protects their viewpoint to justify their purchase. Two different cars imho. Why can't they both be good for their intent?
