So when the owner says "hey check out my new M4" will everyone run in fear thinking he is about to pull out a rifle? haha.
The Lexus RC F releasing in 2015 will tear this little car up.
The RC-F is also supposed to be over $100k so they are not even comparable.
Nah, its 100K in Austrailian market, it'll be $60K-70K in the US market
As for pricing, the RC will launch at around $40,000 late next year, while the RC F will be priced over $100,000. There’s no chance that the new BMW M4 will even come close to that price range, so clearly Lexus is targeting a more exclusive crowd with its RC F model.
It’ll also be built on a new chassis that’s being specially tuned for high-performance both off and on the track. Design wise, it’ll draw heavily from the LF-CC concept from the 2012 Paris show, and it’ll include carbon fiber body parts for the hood, roof and trunklid.
Now the not so good part: it’ll cost just over $100,000. The base RC, on the other hand, will come with a base 2.0-liter turbo four and will start out at about $40,000.
Priced at around 100,000 USD, the 2014 Lexus RC-F will feature a V8 5.0-liter engine Euro 6-compliant engine delivering 455 bhp (339 kW) at 6,800 rpm and 401 lb-ft (543 Nm) of torque at 5,200 rpm.
The RC draws the essence from the LFA, mixes it with the best from the IS, and adds an eye-opening engine lineup that will cater to all tastes. The RC lineup will land in Lexus showrooms late next year for around $40,000, while the fire-breathing RC F will be priced a little north of $100,000.
All these sites say otherwise and not one of them mention only $100k for the Australian market.
Apparently MotorTrend copied this from an Australian website motoring.com.au and did a direct currency conversion from AUD to USD.

What Motortrend forgot is that Australian car prices are jacked up compared to an equivalent US car even after taking into account currency exchange rates.
For example, in that same Australian article, the Aussie Lexus IS-F is mentioned to cost $126,300 Australian dollars. That's $116,246 US dollars, which is far higher than what the US version retails for.
False Alarm Folks! Lexus is too smart to price itself out of the market.
Apparently it's only a twin turbo V6 and not a V8 like the E92 M3.
