Pretty nice!  10 speed automatic, carbon roof and doors and 476HP from the excellent V8 found in the RC-F.

Very nice. The aggressive front styling suits this car.  I still don't care for the large spindle on the sedans. 

So are they building this or is it vaporware?  ;)

It's supposed to be out late this year for $100K USD.

But until you can buy one, yes...it's technically vaporware.   ;D

Very nice. Don't know about that monotone beige-brown interior though.

100usd?  I don't understand the car as much as I like it.   How is this different from rcf?   Besides the transmission and styling?

I read the press release,  I know it's a different chassis but don't get the market play,  especially if it's that expensive.

Maybe I can buy one I'm 2025 for $30k?

Cayman vs 911 type of thing IMO (or like the new Merc S-Class Coupe).  It's definitely going to have some tech, options, etc that the RC won't have.

While they do this they need to put the RC-F on a serious diet so that it can be positioned as the "sports model" and the LC as the "GT model."

Otherwise, they're both going to be just overweight cruisers.

But cayman and 911 aren't the exact same engine.   It's odd I guess

This is on the new LS' platform.  So I'm guessing this is going to be the LS Coupe in the line-up.  Much like the S Class Coupe and Sedan share an engine.

Wonder if they will use that engine in LS

It's very smooth and quiet if you don't open the exhaust.

Yes.  The next car is the LS500 from what I understood.

Looks really good,and I agree with BC that the front really suits this car.  Not so much on some of their other vehicles.

Never thought I'd say it, but I think new Buick Altavista might be the better looking of the two.

Looks like a cartoon car from this angle:



If I was car shopping and had the ~$125k required for this thing it would be pretty far down the list.

I like it. Very unique, non-German type styling, but in a very luxurious, Japanese exotic looking, which is what it is.

I also happen to catch a black RC-F today, which was also very hot looking and somewhat stood out against the two M4s and one M6 I saw today.
