I swear if that isF or my favorite, the rcF had sticks, I would get them over most cars

But my family went through a few lexus'. Some gs300 and gs350's. Such nice cars. Never broke, excellent service. Same service if not better than Porsche that services my father's car.
My biggest bitch about the Lexus F - some of the really nice options like heated/cooled seats, rain sensing wipers, etc. could not be had on the F series. They had crappy package combinations. On top of that, remote start was not an option because the remote start feature interfered with the Navigation system.

The F series had/have fake leather seats, and not a HUD to be found. I miss having a HUD in my car. My '13 SS spoiled me on that. That wasn't even an option on the Lexus' I was looking at in 2014.

Reliable, yes. After all, it's a Toyota

I hear you Cornholio

I have not yet tested the RC, but I will. It looks good though,

And, if you were to ask your girl friend or wife which one they would like more I am almost certain they will say the Lexus, I know the car is for you only but, still...

I had just about decided on a golf r, looked at focus rs and m3, the salesman wasn't in and they didn't even want to appraise my trade (it was so weird) I went to their sister store (ancira vw down to ancira Chevrolet) on the same lot and the rest is history,

I think the Camaro was a wildly differ choice from what I was looking at, but I'm happy with it

CPO Mercedes SLK250 came really close to buying that one but after driving the Camaro the choice was clear.

1. MX-5 Miata <- fun but slow and my I look like a Mario kart character with half my torso out of it.
2. FRS <- Terrible dealership experience, wouldn't let me test drive it on the highway...
3. Nissan 370z Nismo <- Cool car but felt outdated
4. Spider 124 < Wasn't out yet but I was curious as I liked the Miata
5. Mustang < Co-worker has an EcoBoost and I wasn't a fan.
6. V6 Camaro < I liked it but then I tried the V8 and couldn't go back.

Maybe the Predator grille?

Before I purchased the 2016 Camaro SS I looked at:

1. 2012 GTR (sold before I could get down to test drive)
2. 2015 Jeep SRT (way over MSRP)
3. 2016 Q50S (too expensive)
4. 2016 Camaro SS

The only thing I would trade my Camaro in for right now would be the Q50S; twin turbo with 400 HP and 350 TQ, 4 door sedan. I love that car only because it offers more room than the Camaro.

But my daughter is still in a car seat so I don't have to worry about here trying to get up while I'm driving and plus, we take the truck anytime we travel with her. Maybe within the next two years I'll trade her in for the Q50S but until then, I'm loving every second of the Camaro...

Camaro wins

Dodge Challenger
Ford Mustang
VW Jetta GLI
Buick Regal RS
Chevy wins because of the better engine/ standard transmission combo. Plus I’m an Chevy person.
