Looks that signify intent, this is a source of discontent and nears embarrassment. I don't like this car. There, I said it - you can click back and move on with your life. But that would nearly be unfair to this pretend sports car from Lexus. What you're looking at is the longstanding RC coupe, now in its tenth year (!), that's been subject to The Fast and the Furious treatment with a glaringly out-of-place black hood. People will see this car and think it's fast, or that you want to race them - it happened to me - yet the truth is this is not a fast car.
