I really like the way the RC looks
got a 2020 rx for wifey, with all the complaining done about the infortainment I don't have a problem with it (we coming from older cars tho)
whenever they have a major overhaul of the IS i think i will look into that. Could get the RC but one a couple blocks from me was on bricks one day so kind of scared. not sure if that's a targeted vehicle like the prius

came from a 2012 mustang,,, so the RC infotainment was pure high class to me.... most of that shyt I don't use I only use the USB port to play music,,,,,,,, i'm still super hot they were still using 3G in their 2016,17 and 18 cars,,, lexus enform for thse years will be discontinued

yea i try to buy used cars only and used cars that are a couple years old at that
but i found a deal on a 2020 loaner for basically a 2019 used price. was pressed cause all the youtube reviewers and media hyped up apple play/android play being added in 2020
i barely use that shyt and the standard navigation works fine to me
every reviewer talks about how lexus has the worst tech in the industry ......meanwhile the maps and system are the best i ever experienced
i guess if you comparing it to 2021 benz or audi system it sucks but coming from '08 and '10 cars that shyt lovely

Im happy with my RCF. after being in shytty ass problematic German joints, Im happy

Y'all bugging with the Lexus hate. I like the worry free non turbo life....

For for 1, your RCF is heavy as hell and sluggish. You couldn't even keep up with factory Scat Pack. For 2, You over pay with Lexus though. That 500 F Sport will be $70k msrp.


Meanwhile I can get a used AMG with CPO for $50,000 and I could take the chances and tune it and have over 700. Or I can get a Hellcat for $65,000. Or a CTSV.

Will never understand the Lexus hate. Great cars. I can’t see myself getting anything other than another IS when it’s time to upgrade my 2016.

Lexus cars are boring and overpriced, that's why they get hate. If you gone have a MSRP of $75k, add another 100 hp

This is a triggered Lexus owner’s opinion. Only Asian nail salon owners and jap boys into hella frush are checking for Lexus, man. My point stands that they need a new design language. Nobody gives a shyt about the new ISF with the same 5.0 from 10 years ago. Infiniti’s design change is more interesting than Toyota/Lexus....if they would just get their drivetrains worth a shyt, they could be back in it. This is the type of change Lexus needs...

I would buy a new Lexus, I like the design, the problem for me is the dollar per performance. I mean if you want a reliable quick luxury cruiser, sure, but all the competitors are offering 550hp+ for the same price point or lower.

And dummies keep bringing up reliability, unless you owning the car for 10 years, who cares? Most German buyers lease 3 to 4 years and trade up

I don't race cars either. Still not overpaying for that pathetic amount of powerUnless you plan on keeping it 10 years what the point in buying Lexus again? Hell I'd go as far as to say Genesis you get more bang for your buck.

I'm on Mercedes forums all the time, they not nowhere near as bad as you making them to be. Even then there's still Cadillac & Dodge

I don’t think Lexus cares to cater to that type of car buyer, at least that’s the vibe their decisions give off. You’re definitely not wrong though, but they make good cars still. Like you said in your last post, I def plan on keeping the car a while and they’re reliable.

 

[HiphopRelated]

It’s tried and true Better than nothing. I do wish they would turbo it. A GS F is fire, but since it’s not forced induction you can’t really mod it much to get more power. So 40-50k for a used car w that HP is kinda meh. You can get an RS7 for around the same price & have a rocketship

they most likely view the turbo as something that can go wrong. Reliability is still a LExus hallmark

My main complaint is that the rear looks too Camry. Everything else is sleek af.
