High probablity of the RC/LC being combined is a heavy rumor in their theorizing on since both are due to be discontinued soon.

Well there are no solid facts now that the timeline for the EVs has been pushed back so we are all at the same speculation level. With Lexus EV plans being pushed back who really knows at this juncture? We do know its time for the NA chassis to end but i cant imagine just 2 cars one being "LGR/LFR/GRF" type car taking over for the RCF GT3/Consumer version and one LFA replacement with the ESC. Unsure how that pans out. I would assume we would have a RC/LC segment car to match the M4 segment space hopefully. At the end of the day who really knows. Any confident fan position when it comes to Lexus info is as accurate as defining the Mega Millions winning numbers at this point. We all just dont really know when it comes to the committee-based decision-making with TMC when it comes to Lexus and the constant hard to understand dynamic of Lexus USA etc vs TMC etc.
My Pure Speculation fantasy conflicts
1) Final RCF special GTD version with the 5.4ltr engine to end its production run in 2025 possibly ending the second chapter of the F cars era ( hope they continue F of course ) Lexus Racing does excepitonally well in 2025 with the RCF GT3 ending that chapter.
2) "LGR/GRF" model replacing the RCF in GT3 and the LC spot as halo consumer product iteration at the end of 2025 as the LC discontinues at the same time with no 2026 iteration ending the NA chassis era.
3) RC/LC replacement M4 Segment Car with a manual offering with a new high powered 4 cyclinder hybrid engine.
4) LGR/GRF releases in 2026 with performance iterations alot of focus on the branding transition for the racing program to the new platform homage to the RCF GT3 and the visual representation of the brand going forward ( the choice is made for public consumption of GR or F based branding launched with the new car and the brand in general )
5) 2027 successes with the new platform and racing program in second season with new platform leads to LFA replacement the ESC finally having an official name LFA/LFE being heavily teased with new real-life models shown touting its transmission and ICE driving transmission characteristics being the first of is kind to have that level of ambition.
6) None of this happends and we randomly get an LBX launch in NA and where all confused as Lexus abandons performance cars leaving Toyota to take its reigns as Lexus fades back to older demographic offerings for BEVs and NA hybrid SUVs ( hope not ) .
Its fun to speculate lol. Cheers to a new year!
