I read that the carbon fiber package won't be available on the Lexus RC F in North America. There wasn't much of a reason why though. Do you guys have any idea?

I'm disappointed to say the least. The carbon fiber package look pretty awesome.

That does not seem to align with the pre-order brochure. It does have a disclaimer, but this is a US brocuhure so why show the package if it is not available anywhere in North America?

Read it on autoevolution.com

Here is the link and a quote from the article.

Lexus RC F Carbon Pack in New Photos

Now here are the bad news... that cool carbon fiber you see in the pictures here is not available in North America. Can't really tell why, but it totally spoils the "carbon package effect".

Of all the markets for this to not be available in, i wasn't expecting american to be one of them

 

[rwdftw]

interesting

so they are selling a carbon package in north america but it wont have the carbon fiber goodies?

 

[soarer]

That will be weird, so much for calling it carbon fiber.

 

[rwdftw]

well lets wait for more details to be released first

 

[Lex Luther]

I don't understand why they wouldn't sell the carbon fiber package in the US. I would assume that would be one of the markets that would be the most likely to buy it.

 

[soarer]

Is there a list of the exact markets they're selling it in?

 

[Odetta]

I'm sure they have a reason not to bring it in to north america maybe the cost is the culprit.

 

[spoonful]

probabaly because no one is buying it. How many M's do you see all carbony?

 

[Odetta]

That is exactly it. With BMW the only carbon that they kind of show but you have to look for it is the carbon ceramic brakes.

probabaly because no one is buying it. How many M's do you see all carbony?

that is a large possibility, but i'd imagine that america would be one of the larger markets for cf packages, i guess not

 

[Odetta]

Well if its not North America than who is it? Japan?
