I just don't know what market they are going after. This should be a flop for sales numbers - I would think.

I'll stay German thanks. They needed to do at least as good as an M4.

EDIT: From this article:

"We weighed the RC F and it clocks in at a lardy 4040 pounds. For some comparison, the similarly sized and totally targeted BMW M4 weighs 3604 pounds, a 436-pound difference. Before you mount an angry letter-writing campaign against Lexus, know that the AWD Audi RS 5 is just 13 pounds lighter than the RC F, 4027 pounds. Still, why’s a brand-new car so heavy?"

Bingo. The RS5 is years old, 4 wheel drive and will kick this tubs ass...
