As always, I hate two tone styling. Theres silver plastic AND chrome on this, and that's a foul. The floating C-pillar is a mistake. The suede inside is disgusting.

Otherwise, I think it looks nice, and I generally like the styling of the car better than the M4.

BUT: I would never buy one. 1, the engine is outdated. 2, no manual, and the automatic isn't anything worth even getting out of bed in the morning for.

At 2 tons with a big ol V8 this might be an impressive car - in 2001.

I concur. I think its a unique car for a grown up market that doesn't necessarily care about having the fastest car on the block. Here is a different color with some blacked out trim for a different perspective.

This car would sell at $75-80k but Lexus is pricing this thing at $100k, which is a HUGE mistake imo.

Right now people are getting $20k off on the new GSF because it was overpriced from the get go, same for RCF.

BTW the V8 engine in this thing dates back to 2007 when ISF originally came out, NAV is tiny by today's standards, and multimedia interface is a joke compared to iDrive - these guys at Lexus are way behind......

That's not what I'm hearing....Lexus is all over local shows to drive up some interest in this thing.

F line of cars has been a disaster - ISF discontinued, LFA program scrapped, RCF was a mishmash of 3 cars, GSF shouldn't even be wearing "F" branding.
Nobody is waiting 2 years hoping for LC F with all the awesome performance cars out these days. Lexus needs to put some true R&D $$$ into F program and not develop half assed cars with decade old engines.

Saw one in red at an auto show. It looked cool and drew a large crowd. Not a fan of the wheels.

The interior definitely looks dumbed down compared to the concepts, as evidenced by your photos. Material quality looks to be at the level of the IS, rather than something costing 2-3 times more. However I can't see the details from photos.

Someone said something about the interior looking old.....yeah, as soon as someone pointed that out, I immediately started thinking of early 90's interior design, specifically with elevated dash section where the vents are.

At 100k, no bueno.

too much happening with the design. I like the fact lexus brought a big coupe to market. The is350 f sport is the best looking lexus right now imo.
