Just throw down boy. There's more discourse of Jeep options in this thread than a woman talking about her wedding plans. Wring those hands any more and you will win the "Johnny P Overthinking Trophy."

In all honesty I would fill the gap with another leasing mistake by some brogrammer and see what the market brings in Jeep craziness.

Kind of why I am thinking RC-F. But it is pricy... and the interior is a bit blah (outside of the dash and seats) it looks like a mid 2000s lexus model with HVAC powered by Timex.

I think they are basically ugly AF except I kind of like the ricer stacked exhaust. But a high winding NA V-8 not made of glass? :zing: Plus you live in the Pay Area manuel is a pretty stupid idea. I haven't looked at the prices on ISF's but IMHO they are way better looking than the RCF and the price may be right?

I find the RCF proportions a bit off. But I love the IS. Very Japanese. I also love the Q50 and Q60 doe so whatever. Q60 is IMO the best looking lux coupe on the market outside exotics.

The front is a bit ugly, but I find beauty in things that look like they got hit with a frying pan.

It is different, and I like the mustang V8 in the Rexus, at around mustang prices... which is frankly insane.
I don't care for :manuel: as long as the auto makes sense, I don't have a longing to stroke a horse dick every 5 seconds and exercise the left leg every time i need a bottle of fernet.

IS-F doesn't exist in the current body style. I suppose I could get the IS-F Sport, but it only comes with a camry V6, not mustang V8.

GS-F does exist but it is very big, and even more expensive.

I like the RCF a lot but it's in no way cheap, especially in the land of short ownership duration and zero sales tax credits on trade-in.

The engine and seats are amazing - and it's generally a good thing that it's focused more on real world road use than test track lap times.

Which is why I am focusing in on it. Short term ownershit wise, I'd be looking at lease take overs I think. There is a guy in North Dakota with one... okish payment and a shit ton of miles left (2500 a month) but it expires 11/1. Which is too soon, I also don't know if I can cross state lines with a lease.

Lease takeover on RCF would be epic, 5/7 plan.

I had a JKU for 2 years. An XJ for 2 years before that. And a CJ before that.

I love Jeeps.
