2012 Mercedes C350 Coupe

C63 vs RC F

Which would will be more fun to drive? Cost seems to be the same, looking for the one that will be more powerful and more fun to drive.

Cars.

I'd go with the C63. Not a huge fan of the RC-F styling.

It would all be speculation at this stage.

Wait till they're available for back to back test drives and decide for yourself from there

Just for myself I too am not a fan of current Lexus design language IMHO from some angles especially the front end they look terrible and the more 'funky' the shape the more it'll date and look totally odd in years to come but that's just my personal opinion each to their own.

C63

Lexus has ISF years ago, and seems like people was not buying it.
so I guess the answer is very obvious

If you ask this question on a Lexus forum you will get the exact opposite answer. So test drive both cars (when available) and find the best one for you. MB of course will have slightly more brand cachet.

A fair comparison would be C63 Coupe vs RCF but that comparison would be in 2015. It is good that this time around Lexus made the exhaust this time real instead of the fake ones on the ISF. However, still not really digging the look of the RCF. The interior cabin of the C63 in this generation looks gorgeous! RCF, however just looks so boring!

MB S63 AMG Coupe Edition 1 and McLaren 650S

C63 Coupe would be a better comparison. Saw the C63 at the LA Auto Show. Not impressed at all. The Lexus RC F looks more exotic when you compare the 2, in my opinion.

The last thing Toyota made that was worthy of a sports car (obviously excluding the LFA) was the Supra. So until the time Toyota/Lexus develops a true sports car that's reasonably priced, I'd go with anything but. That is unless you just want to pay more for aggressive body panels/aesthetics and not actual performance. I recall pricing out the GS F sport when the new body was first released. I couldn't comprehend how/why people would pay for the same exact engine masked with aggressive styling for a 10-15k markup.... I don't just want to look fast, I want the car to be fast when I spend 50k+. Please spare me any comments on the IS-F sport....
