Well the waiting is over. The RC will be getting a turbo 4 cylinder for 2016.

You can read about it here: 2016 Lexus RC 200t Headed to U.S. with Turbo-Four Engine

too bad no Turbo :X or supercharger >.> v6

The RC200t is an RC350 body with a 4 cylinder turbo. Get the looks of the RC350 for a much cheaper price.

I like this move Lexus is making which should help in targeting more vehicles to compete with and of course improve their sales, the main thing they need is volume and this sure accomplishes that.

Brings in a whole different demographic to the Lexus fold.

They better do something about the weight of the car. 240ish HP isn't enough for this car. They'd be better off turbo charging the V6. Now, that would be SWEET!

That is for sure my friend. How about a twin turbo? If you're going to dream, dream big. LOL

I know... right?! I so wanted the F. A little out of budget and I wanted AWD. But the F-Sport isn't a bad compromise. Loving it!

I also wanted the F, but budget, retiring soon, and the fear of losing my license because of the tickets won out. I made a good choice as I already have a V8 in the garage that will scare the poop out of me when I want it to.


I was going to get the 2015 Corvette C7, but there isn't enough leg room, and I didn't want to drive with my knee 1/2" from the dash.

Did you see that in 2017 the Vette will be mid-engine? No rumor, GM confirmed it.

OK, so I saw the 2016 RC 200T at my dealer last week and what I noticed is that there is only a few thousand dollars difference between it and the RC 350 F-Sport. Why would anyone get the 200T since the HP is only in the mid 200's?
