Does a chicken like to peck?



Does a frog bump his butt on the ground?



Does a cat have climbing gear?

RC350 F-Sport is not, neither is the RC-F.

F-Sport isn't much different than the regular RC350. Adaptive dampers plus some cosmetics. Still a chick car.

The F is still an RC, so it's a chick car with a bunch of power. But to me a motor isn't what makes a car a chick car versus dude car. It's all about the styling and target demographic.

Eh, to each their own. My buddy has an RC350 F-Sport and it's a pretty sweet ride. It's a lot easier to maneuver downtown than his Power Wagon is.

I imagine that was part of the reason he got it.

Seems like a good half of what Lexus makes are chick cars. This includes all of their crossovers/SUVs, aka suburban mom who don't want a Tahoe status symbols.

Entire industries revolve around making people purchase things and purporting to influence others' perceptions. It probably works about 5% as well as anyone thinks.

No one outside of the people who actually ride in your car cares what you drive. At worst, they might know that some men get offended when their masculinity is questioned for anything and have fun doing that.

I like the looks of the RC's a lot, but the reviews I have read make me think that it's not really "sportier" feeling to drive than the GS sedan, which I think I would prefer if I were going that route.

RC350 is the 2008 G35 coupe of today. Targeted at young people who got out of school making decent money who want a "sports car", but they generally don't even know how to drive a stick shift.

RC-F is for those same people 5-10 years later who are making great money for their age, and they want a faster "sports car" but still probably don't know how to drive a stick shift. They most likely lease it, and they chose it new instead of a Jaguar or a used 911. My buddy fits this demo, and he drives one. Neat car. I wouldn't drive one without a stick.

I don't see a chick owning an RC-F unless she's more of a single 40s-something coug who likes to lure in the RC350 crowd to her lair. Probably drinks $20 glasses of wine on the first date - that kind of person

I ended up behind one of those the other day. They sound really good, something you would expect from a Maserati versus the silence you expect from a Lexus.

OP out of the Lexus line up I like the GS350 F-Sport or the IS350 F-Sport.

Boring, under-powered "sports car" for a chick or a dude.
