starting in Canada @ $54,000 for the AWD, $57,050 RWD, $57,150 AWD F-Sport
that's a bit much imo... considering you can almost get the RCF at that price in the states http://www.autos.ca/general-news/201...s-wheel-drive/ | |

Saw one on road in Taiwan yesterday. It actually doesn't look bad in person.
And it looks a bit bigger in person too. But that can be an illusion given the tight streets in TW.

The 0-60 is manufacturer rated at 5.5 secs for the Lexus.
The 0-60 for the manufacturer rated is 5.0 secs for the S5.
So, all in all, IMO, it is a little bit over-priced.
The RC looks like it's more of a competition for the S5 and 435i than for the A5 or the 428i.

rofl i actually think the rocket bunny...creation, isn't bad 
so... the RCF after Freight & PDI is starting @ $82,895CAD but in the US it's starting @ $62,400USD  (i wonder if the US site considers the RC Fsport as the RCF too...) Future Models | Automobiles | Lexus 2015 Lexus RC F - Performance Sedan | Lexus.com
also looks like top gear took out the RCF http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/lex...ack-2014-10-16 <<only a gallery is available though

Looks like the new RC-F is a generation behind its competitors. Most manufacturers in this segment are dropping weight while Lexus has increased the weight by nearly 200 pounds from the ISF.

I want to see the Infrared in person, the paint job sounds interesting
a base coat of silver, a coat of clear, a coat of red, and a coat of clear
looks great in pics but all the pics seems wildly different   
as for the performance a bit disappointing but also surprising how close it is given all that extra weight 400+lbs (depending on the options +50lbs for the electric differential) that's like having 4 asian chicks as passengers, or 2 larger guys

Lexus is going to unveil a new 'concept' at the LA auto show on Wednesday called the LF-C2 which everyone is saying is simply an RC Convertible Future Models | Automobiles | Lexus
this is the silhouette 
If its a hardtop convertible RC then...damn that's going to be one heavy ride  but i'd be sold
