Went to a car event this past Sunday that featured some high end cars (Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren, MB, BMW etc.)
Lexus brought out their new LC 500 and a rep was there asking if people wanted more info (brochure) on it. At first I didn't even notice it as it was parked randomly next to some other cars and it was a BLACK color in a sea of bright supercars! lol
Anyway here my thoughts and observations:
- The car is really big. Its definitely a S550 coupe / 650i competitor rather than 911 / SL550.
- Side of the car is beautifully done, very exotic imo.
- Front is absolutely HIDEOUS. (I like RCF/GSF front but on the LC, the predator grill is no bueno.)
- Rear is OK but a bit over styled especially the lower exhaust area.
- Interior was a big letdown. No way this is nicer than S550 in person. The color reminds me of the old burgundy interiors in 70s/80s Cadillacs.
- Wheel gap and offset are weak and ruin stance of the car compared to concept
- Lexus made a dumb decision bringing a Black car that does not standout, Red would of looked better.
- I personally did not see too much interest in it from the people there.
- If they price it at $100k as we are hearing, $20-25k discounts will follow.
