Which design do you prefer? ATS coupe or Lexus RC?

ep_83 · 02-28-2014, 04:30 PM

Which one of these two coupes is more visually appealing to you? It seems Cadillac took a more conservative approach with their coupe variant while Lexus decided to take their already bold styling a step forward.

RC, but I don't love either one.

i would have to say lexus. much nicer material use as well if they are anything like the other models

ATS

RC, but ATS also looks good. Now this segment is very attractive in general, the new A4/A5 are yet to come, but I wish Alfa had a 159 replacement too.

Lexus. Never liked Cadillac's styling.

NemesisX · 02-28-2014, 07:08 PM

Lexus.

I've always hated the fact that the CTSV has an absolutely amazing engine in a hideous body (IMO). I can't stand the "old man" look of the CTSV.

Well, the ATS is too bland and the RC too over the top so the perfect design would be a 50/50 blend of the two. I like elements of the RC better but it needs to grow on me. THe ATS is a very safe design that is inoffensive but not very moving (like the CTS coupe is, love or hate it).

NemesisX · 02-28-2014, 11:05 PM

The front profile of the ATS looks pretty nice. The side and rear are really boring, though.

hellrotm · 02-28-2014, 11:28 PM

Neither

One is over the top ugly. One is too bland. Hard to decide which one would bother me less, if I had to choose one.

I prefer the look of the Lexus but if Caddy drops the twin turbo V6 into the ATS coupe...I will definitely buy one.
