Thats right its been 13 years since Lexus last offered a coupe (exclude the LFA) but the RC isn't about sales, at least I don't think so. The RC is about image, for long enough Lexus has been viewed as selling sedated saloon cars to elderly country club members. The RC could help shed those connotations...
The RC is flashy, maybe too flashy, aggressive, yet maybe too aggressive. The Interior has been lifted from the IS which has been described as cramped in recent reviews, although the RC will do away with the IS mouse control in favour of a touch screen head unit.
The only 2 major questions left are AWD vs RWD and will it get Toyotas new 2.0 Turbo Atkinson engine slotted for the Lexus NX crossover. It could provide a lower cost entry model similar to the BMW 428...
