WHAT’S NEW: 2015 RC 350


HIGHLIGHTS
 
The 2015 Lexus RC 350 is an all new luxury coupe, arriving in Canada this year. The four-seater, rear-wheel-drive RC 350 is designed to engage powerfully with guests on an emotional level – turning even casual “drivers” into “motoring enthusiasts”. Aggressively styled and with performance to match, the driving dynamics will thrill even as the RC 350 delivers power with control. For those seeking even more, the RC 350 will be offered in an F SPORTmodel. As a Lexus, the new RC 350 features generous yet thoughtful applications of leading edge technology, exquisite comfort and amenities, and the quality and legendary customer experience that have become hallmarks of the Lexus brand.
