Hopefully the 500 will carryover. Owning a JDM V8 is on my bucket list.2025 IS finally gets a redesign. IS chassi hasn't seen an update in 15 years.
I was thinking of picking up a RCF track edition but I guess I may hold off after your feedback.I have owned a 20 RCF Track Edition and also currently own a 15 IS350 Rwd since new. Lexus makes great cars, great paint quality and never had a issue with either of them. The 15 still doesn’t have any real rattles in the car and pretty much looks new inside and out.
The transmissions are very laggy and boring to drive. These cars are GT cars at best neither had much of a sporty feeling and the RCF was super bouncy more then the FL5.
If you want a sporty fun car to drive I would say go FL5. The resale on the R will also be better then Lexus.
I had a very hard time selling my Track Edition and some dealers were offering $30k under what I paid after 5500 miles and I got lucky and sold it for 89k. Buying dealer sat on the car for almost two years then sent to auction.
Supposed to be all EV now, pass.2025 IS finally gets a redesign. IS chassi hasn't seen an update in 15 years.
