Not to mention, how much of the badge is just splitting hairs at this point? From a hardware perspective, what does the RC F actually have that this doesn't?

Same question applies for actual performance. Is this IS500 F Sport actually going to be outperformed by the RC F? It seems unlikely. In fact, I would not be surprised if this beats the RC F in many categories. It's likely to weigh less too.
