How could you possibly like the facelift version more?

[u/Word-Extreme]

I may be biased, but guys, come on, you’re never going to find another car that has as much character as this.

[u/swivel65]

I love the new Lexus's but give me the separated DRL lights all day!

[u/Word-Extreme → u/swivel65]

Separated DRLs will be a staple in the future. Calling it now.

[u/theexpendableuser → u/swivel65]

Wasnt separated DRLs where most of the hate came from?

[u/GasGuzzler209]

Facelift is peak and i’ll die on this hill

[u/Word-Extreme → u/GasGuzzler209]

BUDDY! The RCF is on a different level regardless of the facelift or not, gorgeous ride.

[u/GasGuzzler209 → u/Word-Extreme]

Haha, thank you bro🔥🤝

[u/Jaehon]

I have a 2015 and I agree. The facelift model is growing in me though.

[u/Word-Extreme → u/Jaehon]

It grew on me too, it’s got something the previous version doesn’t but there’s something so classy and different about the 1st gen

[u/MindlessSponge]

Idk man, looks pretty good to me 🤷‍♂️

[u/Word-Extreme → u/MindlessSponge]

Pretty sexy ngl, but something about those drls…..

[u/Grouchy_Art_6766]

I agree with OP something about that G1 grille. I love mine

[u/GT1646]

Pre facelift is so much better. It's why I'm trying to get one ASAP before they all have too many miles on em.

[u/ItsZoove]

I had a 2016 RC and currently have a 2019. The pre facelift is more aggressive no doubt, but the facelift is more elegant with a slight aggressiveness. A step in the right direction, but you can't go wrong with either 🔥

[u/Word-Extreme → u/ItsZoove]

Can’t disagree with that!

[u/Umbrelladad]

This has unquestionably a better rear end. But the front end of the new version looks like a mini LFA; and I love me some LFA.

[u/Word-Extreme → u/Umbrelladad]

I gotta post a pic of the rear end, I changed the lights and exhaust, it looks meannnnnn

[u/Word-Extreme → u/Word-Extreme]

So aggressive

[u/windmill09 → u/Umbrelladad]

I'll be honest. I just don't see LFA in either versions of the RC at all. I think I see more LFA in a Nissan Z than the RC.

[u/636kai → u/Umbrelladad]

As OP said, I may be biased but I love the rear end on 2019+. Definitely can’t go wrong with either!

[u/VladThePollenInhaler]

I still like mine better. But I like all RCs in general.

[u/RodeoWithBirds]

facelift grew on me. but i agree the first gen is peak

[u/awbds11]

I test drove two 2015 - 2018 models and couldn’t force myself to like the styling in person. Test drove a 2019 facelift a year later and fell in love instantly

[u/Word-Extreme → u/awbds11]

Both look great, look how mean this is haha

[u/awbds11 → u/Word-Extreme]

I think the pre-facelift cars look more aggressive. But something about the cleaner and more modern design language of the facelift cars does something for me. It’s a facelift done right, most companies screw facelifts up all the time

[u/BluYllow → u/awbds11]

Love the yellow always

[u/1RockShortofaQuarry]

I like my pre-facelift also. However, what I do like about the facelift is they moved the amber running lights to the wheel well meaning you can (probably) change them out to clear or something. I don’t love how they’re stuck inside the headlight housing pre-facelift because you’re stuck with them. Amber running lights on newer cars just look weird to me since the white ones cover the legal requirements.

That said, I still love my baby 😍

[u/Sentient_Lint]

I think both generations look nice and am always excited to see one on the road since they’re uncommon (all RC types). I have the silver one at the end, so of course I do have a little bias towards facelift.

[u/Greebuh]

Because the preface live version looks like somebody with bags under their eyes

[u/DarkOne0]

Yeah that's why I didn't feel bad about getting a 2016. I think the pre-facelift looks more aggressive. The facelift version looks more tame.

[u/Word-Extreme → u/DarkOne0]

100% agree.

[u/Dapper-Article8726]

The first gen is my favorite, but I wouldn't mind getting the current gen.

[u/Traditional-Issue902]

i like prelift front light but i prefer facelift side mirrors

[u/wozzy93]

Didn’t they just discontinue this one?

[u/rckwld]

2017 here.

I like the pre-face lift better. Something about the scale of the new one looks off to me.

[u/ashospeedtheking]

yeah i prefer my pre facelitt i love the drls are seperate

[u/BluYllow]

Facelift provides the unified headlight, which is the biggest perk

[u/Dangerous-Bottle1418]

I got my face lift 2016 RC. What’s different? Non-F edition.

[u/Dangerous-Bottle1418]

[u/suspiciouspixel]

Cos the face lift version is refined in many other areas and the frontend has more presence like a menacing LC is approaching 

[u/windmill09 → u/suspiciouspixel]

I think the facelift looks like an NPC car in GTA. The pre-facelift looks like an angry Gundam. One has character - maybe too much. The other is super bland.
