That's one of their better-looking offerings. Its biggest offences don't even include the grille; instead, they are the stupid squiggles around the headlights and that incredibly bland rear quarter.

The platform shares the front end of the L10 series GS , mid-section from the XE20 series IS convertible , while the rear componentry is from the XE30 series IS sedan . [5]

Could be why they won't add power to the 86 though

It actually isnt the same platform. The RCF has the front platform from a GS and rear from the IS250

Seriously? I thought it based off Toyota's new N platform, which is used by GS and IS.

When I look at the roofline, I see FRS/BRZ.

Body lines have nothing to do with the underlying chassis/subframe "platform". Youre comparing sheet metal shapes.

Nope.

The RC is part GS, IS-C, and IS.

It shares nothing with the BRZ/FRS. The track width is much wider, it's much longer, and very much heavier than the Twins.

I don't think they have the same Chassis, but I still think the Lexus is incredibly ugly.

Nope. Part GS and part IS.

And considering the only part of the RC F that a BRZ/FRS driver is going to see is this:

Kinja'd!!!

I'd say a Toyobaru owner shouldn't care about what the front looks like.
