Lexus Lc500

I think it's the best looking model out of the current Lexus line up. But honestly for the money, I'd probably go for something else. But if I had some extra cash laying around, I'd seriously consider picking one up.

Well, maybe, but the competition is pretty dismal. IMO, the styling is way overdone, somewhere between boy racer and Japanese action hero.

Haha, indeed. That's why I said "out of the current line up" because, the current line up is mostly 100% pure ugly.

I wonder if that's what Derek Carr (Raider qtrback) traded his TT s cab in on this week? Since his car Porsche was for sale in our Lexus dealership.

Well I have one on order

I have a ton of experience with the LC, I've driven RHD and LHD versions, the hybrid and V-8. I was also invited by Lexus to drive it in Ibiza in May and have followed it since day one. You can see quite a few videos on it on my personal youtube channel... here is one...

A true concept car that made it to life (I think the production car has better lines than the concept).

Here is the Lexus production from Ibiza

Currently we are working with them on modifying one for the show circuit and I'll either post in here or have a new thread.

My favorite pic...I went with white..

With red interior...performance package (LSD, Carbon Fiber bits etc)

The V-8 is the natural choice, wonderful sounding, good thrust and great handling for a GT. I'm shocked at how good the new Michelin Run Flats are. The hybrid shocked me, it has a trick CVT x 4 speed transmission that is fantastic and it does not drive or respond like a hybrid. It just is missing the V-8 sound...

Overall I really like the total package and cannot wait for the rumored LC F!
