2019 Lexus RC gets a little nip and a little tuck

More details will arrive with the car's unveil at the Paris Motor Show in October.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

Lexus also made some adjustments to the suspension by way of new bushings and shock absorbers that prioritize heavy damping at lower stroke speeds.

The panels that house the audio and climate controls have a new finish, called dark gray streamline, which will be standard equipment on F Sport models.

The arrow-shaped LED running lights have been integrated into the headlights, and the lower front bumper has more sculpting.

The taillights have been adjusted so the LED "L" in the housing is more pronounced.
