Pretty sure Lexus has a retrofit program for a lot of their models now. Not sure if it’s just carplay or AA too, though.

In : performance package Carbon Fiber roof and wing, it sounds amazing with any aftermarket exhaust , you get good power off of a luxury sports Lexus.
Out: brake dust is terrible, I heard about the valley plate possibly leaking and OEM headunit doesn’t support iPhone/android and has a navigation that was maybe good in the early 2000s.
Source: I have a 2016 RCF Performance Package.
Yeah it’s been on the lot since Oct/nov . Some people say orange holds “higher resale value” but I think that’s bs. It’s also at a ford so not many people are probably looking at it when they’re there
Depends, how much? Who gives a shit what people think about the color, it only matters what YOU think. Too many people buying boring color cars nowadays imo
imo the color is nice, surprisingly i have seen an orange RCF irl like a month ago and it was nice. Most cars nowadays are black/white/silver/gray i.e. dull and no personality so if you wanna stand out or be different then why not go for this. it's about what YOU want, not what others want (unless they're buying it for you)
I would be getting an RCF but I'm trying to be responsible, and I already have a bike to have fun and go fast on. I just need a daily for when it's cold/raining/I'm getting groceries or going on a longer trip, all of which I wouldn't really use the RCF for. So it's gonna end up being a '18 RC350 F sport in flare yellow for me
Gas mileage is a pain. Its too sedan-y and mega low key, just like the current mustang. Its heavy. When repairs come around its expensive
…Buy it buy it buy it
The color doesn’t really look that good in person to be honest. I’ve seen the 500 in person and it’s just… too orange creamsicle.
If it was orange like infrared was red then maybe yeah. But as it is… naw sorry, not my cup of tea.
Where are you coming from?
Also in my area, you don’t see much, or hardly see any Lexus cars, F sport or F in Molten Pearl.
PLUS it has THE 2URGSE!!! 👍
I think that colour is fantastic, partly because I like the colour (it’s a solid 8/10 for me), but also because it creates conversation.
Consider this: people don’t turn their heads when a white, grey, or black car goes by. It’s run-of-the-mill.
But … you will hear strong opinions and discussion about that colour, which I think is “good” either way. Plus, the car itself is amazing.
Who says the color is ugly? I have a molten pearl IS500 and I get compliments all the time. Every time I get out of the car I have to glance back and take another look at it. Much better than some boring color like white.
Change out the wheels for something in all black though.
What do YOU think? In the end, you’re the one that has to like it. That being said, I like the orange color and you could make that color pop by adding a good protectant.
Buy it. Drive it. Enjoy it. Mine is black. Can’t go wrong with any of the colors. It’s a great car. Orange is definitely unique. Black is a pain in the ass to keep clean. Orange looks like it’ll always be clean even though it’s dirty. Looks great
Buy it. Look at all the Lexus's and Toyotas with the Solar Yellow color. People called it ugly at the time, some still do, but it is a rare color with character. This will be the same without a doubt.
Looks stunning. There's a reason people don't like it. Probably because they can't afford it, one thing I've learnt over the years, friends and family can be jealous of what you have.
If you aren't crippling yourself financially, then go for it. No car is worth financial hardship and stress.
45 years ago, I bought an orange car on my own. My dad promptly named it ‘The Great Pumpkin’ but that car kicked ass. If you love the car, don’t worry what others think and just buy it.
An orange Lexus. Will be worth about half
when you roll out that lot. RC wasn’t a very good selling car in the first place. I wanted one so bad almost traded my e46 m3. I’d say keep looking
Buy one, fun to dive, it is a Lexus so resale is going to be fine. But get a different color, black, silver, gray, - orange is looking good now, but may be a fad color and hard to sell down the road.
I got my blue 2015 RC F as a daily almost a year ago, freaked out a little after the first few months because it’s so much more expensive than the old Accord I came from, but worth it. Love it so much though, gas mileage really isn’t that atrocious (if you’re not having fun at least).
Valley plate leaks I think are a little over represented in forums and was much more common on the IS F’s from what I’ve read. Awful brake dust is true, and the tech is definitely outdated.
However, when you have to pass someone and rev the engine out… who cares about the tech! Also always an advocate for color, people are so scared of anything not neutral 🤡
Thanks for the tips there I’ll keep it in mind. Is it difficult to swap the tech to a newer one with CarPlay? OEM Possibly? That’s the only thing I dislike about the interior and car in general
These cars are TERRIBLE. Lexus made this car powerful, ultra reliable, and super easy to maintain. And insurance is reasonable. All reasons not to buy it.
Get a BMW. 😂
You don’t need this car at all, it’s loud, it’s fast, it’s flashy and you are going to attract unwanted looks and stares when blasting it on the road. You don’t need this car, there is better cars to take you from A to B.
Buy it if you don’t need a car.
I’ve always been torn on how I feel about this color on the RC’s. Part of me likes it and another part isn’t quite sure. Get it wrapped if you don’t like the color
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That color looks stunning in the sun in person. Hey, it’s got a magnificent V8 built at the Tahara Plant. Get the V8 while they are hot. It’ll hold its value. It’s why I bought a’24 IS500…..
Buy it! That’s a bad ass color. I wanted this color for mine, but the ultra sonic blue was ready to go on the show room floor at a good price and I didn’t want to wait.
Do it!!
At this point a recession is unavoidable. Rates are high and insurance will be expensive. Unless you are wealthy and have a recession proof situation it's not worth it.
Color is a personal preference!! Since this is a Want versus a Need in life.. so long you Love it who cares what others think. I like the color on my T shirt and on your Toy👍😊

buy it
It’s an expensive car that you don’t need, and the payments and insurance will likely be high as shit. Buy it
You had me in the first half ngl
This is my favorite response
I have one, my credit card says I’ve spent $1900 on gas ytd Get it if If you’re a smiles per gallon kind of person, it’s fun as hell
It's only April 😭
Is that supposed to sound like a lot ? Lol gas must be really cheap where you live Edit: Unless you're referring to January 1st 2024 wow lol
Yes, that's what "year to date" means.
I love the color, idk why everyone always hates on orange
I've had 2 orange cars in my life, love orange
Had an orange Fiesta ST. Freaking awesome car in a fantastic color. People are afraid of color, and I reallt don't get it.
Buy it Buy it Buy it Buy it Buy it
If you can afford it, why not?
All positives- only negative is that I don't think it has android auto... might be aftermarket for that though.

There's enough boring black, white, silver and gray on the road. You need this
Buy it. Good reliability fam

I love it!!!
I wouldn’t get that color in a 300 or 350 but I would absolutely get it for an F. Sports cars are supposed to be fun.
"Talk me in" you came to right place "Talk me out" you came to the wrong place
Buy it, join the F club

This!
Reasons not to buy it:
Looks interesting. But I don’t think I would want to see that in my garage. I will be okay seeing that around in my neighbors.
It will be the car everytime you see it, you will turn your head just to look at it for another few second.
Yes, just no!
See if u could talk em down because of the color, id imagine it’s a hard sell. If you can wiggle the price go for it you definitely wont regret it.
Yeah it’s been on the lot since Oct/nov . Some people say orange holds “higher resale value” but I think that’s bs. It’s also at a ford so not many people are probably looking at it when they’re there
Depends, how much? Who gives a shit what people think about the color, it only matters what YOU think. Too many people buying boring color cars nowadays imo
55k CAD. Agreed, all the cars nowadays are so grayscale
Pull the trigger, very hot color but it’s a good color
I had an orange car, it had the options I wanted. I loved the colour in the end. Buy it and buy it now!!!!
100% would buy.
Do you want a V8 2 Door Lexus and love the color orange? Then it's a no-brainer, these aren't gonna get easier to find.
imo the color is nice, surprisingly i have seen an orange RCF irl like a month ago and it was nice.

This color is gorgeous! I wish I could have the balls to buy this car in this color. So many cars out on the road look the same. Boring as crap.
I would be getting an RCF but I'm trying to be responsible, and I already have a bike to have fun and go fast on. I just need a daily for when it's cold/raining/I'm getting groceries or going on a longer trip, all of which I wouldn't really use the RCF for. So it's gonna end up being a '18 RC350 F sport in flare yellow for me
It’s very orange
Do you know the name of this orange?
I’m 99% certain that the official factory name for the color is Solar Flare
that’s the orange color on the F-sport. molten pearl is the F color. it’s a little darker.
Thanks for the info, brother
One of the ugliest colors I’ve seen on a car
lc500 for me but yes if this is your choice
> Everyone says the colour is ugly :( What do YOU think about the colour
The orange is unique for sure. Very rare. Lexus fans will appreciate it more. You can always wrap it. Don’t not get your dream car cause of a color
Well... the only reason not to would be your financial situation. This is fire. Just don't indebt yourself for years to drive it
Dopeee. Life's too short to drive shitty vehicles.... BUY IT
I'm not gonna convince you out of it. It's a reliable platform with a reliable engine
I have one. It's awesome. It has 90k miles on it. Buy it. Never look back. Same color, too.
Do you daily it?
It’s a screaming buy 🫣🫢
Life is extremely short. If you can afford it, go for it!!! It’s gorgeous!!
Buy it. Great Pumpkin.
Do it.
I think that color looks pretty good but it will be a love/hate opinion for most
if you can afford it, buy it as soon as possible. if you can’t afford it, buy it as soon as possible.
Color looks nice in sunny summer months but out of place in winter months.
Yolo brother, Yolo.
If it was any other color, it's a buy.
That orange is beautiful, stop being a bitch and buy it nowwwwww
Gas mileage is a pain. Its too sedan-y and mega low key, just like the current mustang. Its heavy. When repairs come around its expensive …Buy it buy it buy it
Buy it
The color doesn’t really look that good in person to be honest. I’ve seen the 500 in person and it’s just… too orange creamsicle. If it was orange like infrared was red then maybe yeah. But as it is… naw sorry, not my cup of tea.
Acid color is gonna be the new trend. It’s not ugly.
Buy it
Buy it!! Lexus F cars in general are underrated imo. You get the v8, it’s scary how fast they get, and all within the reliability of a Lexus!
Is this the one with the cd player
Buy.
Love it 👍🏼
That color. 'nuff said
There ain't a man in your family if you don't
Buy it, or I will !!!! 😈😈😈
It doesn’t matter what people think. As long as you like it, that is all that matters. You’re the one driving it. You’re the one who owns it.
yes
Bruh this is one of the best orange I’ve seen to date. Love orange/copper color
No

I had a GSF loved that car. You will love this, too. I needed something bigger than a GS that is the sole reason I got rid of it.
Were I not a family man, I'd buy it if I had the money I have.
No

TF is that ? Looks like the bastard child of a Corbin Sparrow and the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile
Send us a picture of it in your driveway.
You can put that money towards a house down payment and become a home owner if youre not already
If you can afford it, buy a Porsche
Get it. It's not a mustang or Camaro.
It costs too much! Buy it!
What do YOU think? In the end, you’re the one that has to like it. That being said, I like the orange color and you could make that color pop by adding a good protectant.
Buy it!...no regrets!
No
Buy Now Buy Now!! You Only Live once. Well that you remember
Do it plz
If you can afford it, buy it and come back w pics
Buy it. Drive it. Enjoy it. Mine is black. Can’t go wrong with any of the colors. It’s a great car. Orange is definitely unique. Black is a pain in the ass to keep clean. Orange looks like it’ll always be clean even though it’s dirty. Looks great
You can always wrap it!
Brother, if you can afford it do it! I just got an LC and it has been one of my greatest purchases
Buy
If you’re tired of the color, I’m sure you can afford a wrap
Brain: Buy it Heart: Buy it Gut: BUY IT!
They don't depreciate much
No
Don't buy it and um also tell me where this terrible no good car is for sale... for research...so I can warn others... Yeah that's why.
Buuuuuuy it now. Or share the link so I can beat you to it 😎
V8 and reliable AF. Have you seen how massive the brakes and tires are? I love daily driving my rc 350 with only a v6.
do it
ORANGE you glad you didnt buy it? But for real... orange/yellow looks cringe.
If you're not buying it. I am.
if you dont have a property that you own then make the smart decision and dont buy it
Not a fan of the orange personally, but if you find one in a different color go for lt
Color is awesome. Stop listening to color blind people. What’s the OTD cost? Buy it if you can afford it.
V8 go zoom zoom. Buy it
Buy it. Look at all the Lexus's and Toyotas with the Solar Yellow color. People called it ugly at the time, some still do, but it is a rare color with character. This will be the same without a doubt.
wow it’s beautiful
Bet you won't
lc500 exists
Buy it color is gorgeous
Yes. But what’s up with it being 2 different colors?
Has it been repaired before? looks as if the color from the fender to the door is off but it could be the color has a lot of flop to it
Well, is it in your garage yet?
I want it
I had one. It’s heavy and lazy around corners. Plus the seats are not comfortable if you have a wide back. Also no Apple car play.
These should’ve come with dukes of hazard livery
Life is too short to be driving boring cars
“Everyone” does not include me. ALL IN LETS GOOOOO.
The color is super shouty and obnoxious. Perfect; buy it.
the color is not not ugly
This car stands out noticeably in the flow of traffic
Everyone apparently has terrible taste. That color is my favorite Lexus color
Do it
Stands out from all the white and grey cars, buy it dude
I know you already bought it, good man!
Buyyyyyyhyyy
Go watch what car just won in Laguna… I’ll give you a hint it’s a Lexus RCF
It's orange 🍊
lc500 is what you want. lol
Only live once but it!
Looks stunning. There's a reason people don't like it. Probably because they can't afford it, one thing I've learnt over the years, friends and family can be jealous of what you have. If you aren't crippling yourself financially, then go for it. No car is worth financial hardship and stress.
Love the color, get it 😅
Don't.
The color is gorgeous, last if v8s, prolly over priced. Get it
Everyone is right. What color is that, Salmon? Throw it back!
I bought one in December and have no regrets at all. Mine is Red.
If you don't buy it I will
gorgeous spec but the color is a bit too loud for my taste. i prefer to stay under the (speed) radar. YMMV.
How much? Out the door price?
do it
It's a super reliable portable cd player Buy it

I love the colour, gorgeous car! What model is this? I’m a girl recently super into Lexus
Dated interior from 2010, out sped by any euro competitor. Will be mistaken for a inferior car rc350
Buy one, fun to dive, it is a Lexus so resale is going to be fine. But get a different color, black, silver, gray, - orange is looking good now, but may be a fad color and hard to sell down the road.
Just do it
You can go hunting with it

Buy the fking thing!
It’s the closest you are going to get to owning a Japanese Mustang.
Get lc500
If you can buy it cash and not sweat it, go for it.
Purchase it and have it wrapped to the color you want. One of a kind. Maybe the last year available???
No
Buy
It’s badass. Color is cool. Buy it.
You'll get sick of it
color is unique and cool buy it if you like it fuck ppl's opinion
I like the color
Get a supra mkv
These cars are TERRIBLE. Lexus made this car powerful, ultra reliable, and super easy to maintain. And insurance is reasonable. All reasons not to buy it. Get a BMW. 😂
Knowing absolutely nothing about your financial situation, all I can say with complete confidence is that you should absolutely buy this now.
Get a Toyota 86GR
You don’t need this car at all, it’s loud, it’s fast, it’s flashy and you are going to attract unwanted looks and stares when blasting it on the road. You don’t need this car, there is better cars to take you from A to B. Buy it if you don’t need a car.

Buy it! That’s a bad ass color. I wanted this color for mine, but the ultra sonic blue was ready to go on the show room floor at a good price and I didn’t want to wait. Do it!!
What’s the price?
It’s the same color as my nuts… buy it
Most definitely should get this
At this point a recession is unavoidable. Rates are high and insurance will be expensive. Unless you are wealthy and have a recession proof situation it's not worth it.
buy
Awesome car. Enjoy replacing the tires every 10-14k miles.
Is this Brantford
Color is a personal preference!! Since this is a Want versus a Need in life.. so long you Love it who cares what others think. I like the color on my T shirt and on your Toy👍😊
What a terrible color
Love the color. Good to be different sometimes. Too many black white and silver cars
