DOPE. The entire new range of Audi's = DOPE. They've nailed the design language. Even the newer S5 (less brute) which I hated at first has grown on me.

I've always had a thing for Audi's but it's still the only big 4 brand I haven't owned yet. And that's almost 100% because they don't fukk with their residual on S/RS leases to move cars. Making them lease unfriendly. And the depreciation makes it really tough to justify buying one new and eating that.

Are you thinking about one?

Apples and Oranges

CLS/A7 are mid sized 4 door coupes. The RC is a small 2 door true coupe.

But I’ll entertain your statement.

If we are talking performance then you’re going to need the RC-F to outperform either CLS550 or A7. Not the RC-350or any other model they make. But the performance line F. But even then, once your RC-F gets up around 70mph the CLS550 and A7 are going to quickly catch up then walk you.

And if we are now talking Lexus F (and not 350) then we gotta talk MB AMG and Audi RS. And in that case the CLS63 and the RS7 are faster to 60 by a full second over the RC-F (mind as well be a lifetime in car performance).

The CLS63 and RS7 are 3.2sec to 60mph cars stock. The RC-F 4.2 on a good windy day. Completely different leagues.

So I’m guessing you were talking about styling? Well that’s just a matter of taste and opinion.

Yea the exterior styling of the RC is unmatched...Lexus dropped the ball with the interior tho...that shyt is boring as fukk...my homeboy got a 2015 orange RCF :wow: I may have borrowed that shyt once or twice to stunt on south beach for club thots :youngsabo: I don’t shoot below steph curry free throw numbers when I drive that...I’m looking at one in the auction for about $10k...don’t know if I should pull the trigger on that and fix it up...

Look like a bigger C300 coupe. I find it beautiful but not sure the design language is evolving enough. I feel like you need your higher level cars to be distinct from the entry level jawns

That's the problem I have with Mercedes these days. Even the SL and S Coupe no longer stand out from the lower models.

I had a GS350 F-Sport (not GSF) for 3 years. Lease. The only thing good about the interior was the double wide navigation/entertainment screen and the red leather seats I had.

The fake metal trim was all banged up and dinged at the end of my lease and the fake leather on the doors were torn.

They didn't charge me a dollar extra though.

Can’t go wrong with red leather :ohlawd: saw a 4 series grand coupe with red leather...I promised I wouldn’t finance another car after I paid my car :noah: but a 2015 4 series for $20k is hard to pass on..:
