The Lexus SC used to share bones with the supra, I don’t understand why they thought that wouldn’t work again.

The RC should have just been the Supra.

The RC is too heavy to be a real sports car like the FR-S/86. If I remember correctly the requirement for them was that the Supra had an I6 and the platforms they had couldn’t fit one.

This confuses me too. From what I remember it had something to do with not diluting Lexus’ brand or some shit. But a Supra/86 based off these platforms would’ve been 100% more well received than some weird BMW/Subaru partnership

There was always something that confused me development and cost wise about Toyota that hopefully someone here can explain.

I always thought the 4th generation (I think) Preludes dash was perfect for something like this.

Serious question because we have been considering a 2 door wrangler JK for awhile as a weekend car. After my ex owning a Chrysler 300 a friend/neighbor owning a Fiat500 and my own family having a dodge durango a few years ago and hearing and having nothing but problems and expensive repairs with them after 30K miles.…

The Knight Rider Mustang was as if Transformers meet Knight Rider. More than meets the eye!

Oh I misread, my bad. I really thought you were blaming the current financial debacle on the fact that they spent money commercializing the i3

Whoa Margin Of Error...Harsh... I get your point and I am sorry that I offended you. I just asked if it “helped” bring it on since at one point I know BMW spent a lot of R and D on developing the i3 and i8 and then from what I understand pretty much abandoned both. I am NOT saying (re-reading what I wrote above to see…

It was cool when it arrived then shortly after, Tesla happened and other EVs happened. It became obsolete real quick.

Was the i3 a flop that helped bring this on? I kind of like it due it being a bit quirky and practical, plus the interior is kind of minimalist/modern which I like, however most everyone (and I mean everyone) I talk to about it hates the way it looks. One friend(girl) I was driving with one day even pointed one out on…

Hah, that episode was on last night. 

When I watch sports with US ads, as someone from Aus, it’s very funny trying to work out who makes each giant SUV truck thing that is in every car ad.

Even as a car guy if I saw one of these with the badges swapped I dont think I would look twice. Unless someone told me something was up with them.

I am really loving this new design and front end. I have no idea how the Acura “Beak” stuck around for so long? Why that thing was not revised after a year I have no idea. Then they started adding it to their other cars as well!?! Were people actually liking the beak design enough for it to stick around for so long?

Never, ever use this slide-show format again.

We use the top frequently in the summers. No issues so far although it seems a little rougher in shutting lately. I try to keep the rubber seals well maintained as thats my main concern with it.  Dedicated Lexus parts sites stock almost every motor, relay, etc still but they will cost you. For what its worth though,…

Car talk is way more fun when we’re not shitty to each other. Glad I was able to bring a bit of cheer to your week, stay safe!
