So my friend has a budget of $25K on a fun utility car.
I suggested him to get a Ford Focus ST.
What would you suggest?

GTI. Even if it is just the S, it is worth driving against the ST to see which one he likes more. The ST will be the better value but he may like the VW.

Otherwise Fiesta ST would be great if the size works for him.
Oh nice, that would be sweet!

lol and i was just being funny tooo.
Got a notification of our first Performance-PKG RC-F being built & on its way with a 2nd (Nebula Gray/Red). Will be one of the first in the US. $80,000 in this configuration.

$80k brings a lot of other good cars into play.

I finally had the chance to drive a RCF two weeks ago. What a beast
We've had 4 total I believe and just have one left, Ultra White on Circuit Red. None of them were fully optioned though.

Huh? I just went to the BMW website and optioned up an M4 coupe to a reasonable level (not everything, but quite a bit) and it came out to $79,075. Is that not the kind of car the RC-F is gunning for, because the comparisons are inevitable.

those cars aren't its competition which its priced against.
$80K could get me in a Z06 (& that's what I'd rather buy), but it's not a RC-F competitor. That's all I'm saying.

Unless a lot is referring to 3 cars (M4, C63 AMG, or RS5), then those other good cars don't really matter unless you purposely intent on cross-shopping them.

With the performance package on the RC-F, I think first set of cars I mentioned are all in play.

this is disappointing....... I would say it's the most desirable Viper model, only 100 made, and this one only has 400 miles on it....... I would have expected it to be going for a good deal more, at least like 200k. anyways.

"there are a lot of other cars I'd rather have for $80k"
it's a statement I certainly would go by. and people shopping for that kind of car want performance - think about it what other performance cars can you get for $80k... have a look at the used market

M4, RS5, ATS-V, C63, F-Type, Cayman S are all in that range either with few options or loaded. Stiff competition for the RC-F. Not including the Z28 or Z06 but I don't know they would be cross shopped with the Lexus.

Unless the car is the M4, C63, RS5, or even ATS-V, trying to bring up anything else for $80K isn't really relative. Your own preferences for cars in that range aren't what Lexus is after with the RC line. You could state there are a lot of other cars for $235,000 than a CGT Speed like a 911 GT or Italian-made supercar, but they're not really intent to be compared, are they?

Neither of these are RC-F competitors though, & the ATS-V hasn't technically been released (pricing was only just recently released).

my M3 build was only $69k... it has everything i wanted and nothing i dont.
I don't like Lexus's lump sum package.. you want HID/LED you gotta get the whole $5000 package.

Careful, Lexus might come after your Ford Accord 350R next since it'll be in that price range, too.
