Motor Trend Reviews the 2015 Lexus RC F

Yes I completely agree. Great article. Thanks!

I had to watch his comparison video btw the M4 and C63 to see what he said about a similar car to the RC-F and his "demeanor" was much more forgiving concerning the C63, his body language and tone made it seem that he did not want to give the RC-F a chance in his review of it IMHO, everytime he said something good about it he automatically dismissed it, showing bias? Who knows.... He did like the sound on the RC-F though... Not even going to address Lexus hating lieberman, his stupid article titles, major emphasis on flaws and contrived words used to make Lexus look bad, speak enough volumes throughout his 'work'... Compare how he speaks about BMW, Mercedes, and Audi little to no negatives or stupid comments used. Lol I was not surprised when I went to read the Motor Trend article last fri and saw his name on the top, its like his life's mission to make Lexus look bad lol, and i hate his nasally voice and reviews; much preferring Carlos Lagos' more objective and truthful approach, he is a real car guy and I respect his opinions. That being said... We knew they would not judge this car by its own merits and that every attempt would be made to misalign it by the generally Lexus hating/ BMW/Mercedes loving US and British car blogs by comparing it to others based on numbers. This car is more than that, because even so, they still hesitate to say it is worse than the M4 outright. I have seen an read a good 7-10 reviews at least. The RC-F's numbers appear lesser but the appeal stronger. Lexus gave them ammo this time by making the car heavy, otherwise it is a brilliant piece of machinery. At this point this is their only hating point, other than the looks which people generally like. It so funny when BMW, Benz, and Audi cars are overweight how so little attention gets paid to that. I hope Lexus is paying attention, and continuing to blaze their own path, but pay the utmost attention to vehicle dynamics, especially weight from here on out; they have pretty much got everything else covered..... Also if you are serious about "fun", and not just a marketing ploy, at least give us a manual option on the big boy cars like this one. Good work on the RC-F so far, like you said you can, make it better!

I completely agree great post. I'm so sick of all the turbo charged and stuff I'm glad Lexus gave it a V-8 it sounds so much better than a turbo V-6.

"Not even going to address Lexus hating lieberman, his stupid article titles, major emphasis on flaws and contrived words used to make Lexus look bad, speak enough volumes throughout his 'work'...

"It so funny when BMW, Benz, and Audi cars are overweight how so little attention gets paid to that." the M4 has a good weight, the RS5 and the E63 on the other hand are heavy and yes, there are room for improvement

the review is relativly good but the comment section is nothing but flaming and bias i feel like they only read the negatives

sorry for many replies i read the whole thing and lieberman shows his effort trying to make the RC look bad when they were going to test the 4-wheel steering of the RC 350 F-sport: "The rear-wheel steering helps point the nose and rotate the chassis pretty well. Understeer is minimized, a cool trick in an UNDER-TIRED, NOSE-HEAVY STREET CAR" "The second time I was trying to see if I could duplicate the error. Tee hee."

Lexus have their own way of overcoming the weight. this car weighs this much because lexus wanted it to be so. LFA and the ISf-sport are actually not light weight in their comparative classes but they destroy every thing on their parth in terms of fun. lexus is using weight to inject feel and emotion in these cars
