Not a fan of the "big mouth" front end in their latest designs. But I love the interior and the "oh crap" handle on the center console!

mrkoven · 01-12-2016, 06:23 PM

not huge on the body style but interior is amazing

paliknight · 01-12-2016, 06:45 PM

Horrible price point

DASHOCKER · 01-13-2016, 05:48 AM

hot

secretsquirrel · 01-13-2016, 08:38 AM

Pretty sexy. The price point tells me they are targeting those who would buy a SL.

Personally, I think this has been one of the most exciting cars in the category that does not cost you a house or luxury condo. I'll go visit my Lexus dealer for more detail when I get back to NA later.

Easily the #1 car at this year's Detroit Auto Show

RM7 · 01-13-2016, 05:53 PM

Thats a really nice camaro!

David70 · 01-13-2016, 05:56 PM

I think 4300 lbs. and $100k? For the money and the size of the car seems really heavy.

the most famous offender:

I think the LC500 is a great looking car.

ISF is old news. Actually, the RCF and GSF have "real" quad functioning exhaust tips.

i agree with all of the above.

i drove the rc-f and i wasn't sure what i was hearing was the nice v8 or the sound of it being piped through the speakers. i know bmw does that too but i don't have to like it. haha

I think its coming, remember this is the "regular" version rumor has it there's a hybrid version coming, then an F version with the twin-turbo V8 thats been in development....

The only eyesore is the grill....which is the "trademark" lexus grill at this time unfortunately....

Never_Enough · 01-18-2016, 10:49 AM

Looks nice, but LOL @ the price for what you get.

Seems competitive against the SL or 6er. Not sure what other competition it has, maybe the ancient Gran Turismo?

F Type, 911 and AMG GT are all a good bit sportier, less boulevardier than this and the SL. Actually reminds me of the positioning of the original SC400.

Joke's on you buddy. I drive two of the closest competitors of this car and would pick the Lexus over either of them.

They'd have no problems selling a twin turbo LCF at over $150k if it had the firepower to take on the SL 63. Even as it is, the LC500 seems to be better value for money than the 650i, at least in terms of design, luxury and exclusivity (no 4 door GranPoop version)

No joke on me. I'm not the one paying $100k for an under powered Toyota. I do hope you enjoy yours, though. Different strokes for different folks.
