This would be in my GT car consideration set along with the RS5, M3, C63.

Most derision I've read for the RC F strikes me as being bound within the general Lexus dislike.

I would also group it with the above.  But for pure fun / panache / heritage value, I would choose one of the Germans.

Lexus have aced reliability, but apart from the LFA, I just don't get a feeling of 'passion' from their automobiles, they leave me cold.

Some people value reliability over character, not me.  Each to their own.

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Push? No push, this thing is lively, tail happy and awesome. How could you possibly read this review and think I am bashing the driving dynamics?

I wasn't talking about your review I was talking about a lot of others.  We are on page 5, nothing is about your review here anymore lol

3/10ths of a second behind the M3....not bad....not bad at all. Also having the Lexus reliability is nice too.

Yes, lets turn to the Germans for passion!  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I don't get that in the GT cars from the latest German marques, either.  Not for at least a couple of generations.

I can't disagree.  Apart from the 6-Series Gran Coupe, which is so f*cking gorgeous I'd forgive it for anything.
