Source for that tidbit?
I'm seriously disappointed that Rioja Red had to be transplanted over to the LC. They introduced so many great features on the LC but couldn't give it some fun interior choices. Lexus is very slow to the color game.
Even GSF and RCF gets Circuit Red. The LC is supposed to be the "future" of Lexus and they only brought one serious new interior to the game.

Based on the wheel specs what are the wheel widths for the 21" wheels?

Pole Position
The reviews are kinda all over the place. Some praise the hybrid, others like Top Gear pans the hybrid, they all agree the handling is electronic magic, car understeers quite a bit, porky, engine sounds great and relatively fast, handles great with electronic help, steering communicate or numb depending on who's driving, beautifully constructed inside and out, the UI is still dated and Lexus just dont care...However, the overall verdict is still positive and a worthy competitor to the Germans.

Interior is no doubt one of the nicest from Lexus but they missed an opportunity with the nav screen area. The cheap plastic surround is not befitting of a car in this price range. They needed to make it a glass housing or something, not the vast black plastic. And why no ambient light?

I see the LC as a loss leader, a rolling prototype and test bed of new tech and platform, that other cars will be based off of. Lexus doesnt plan on making money on this vehicle, not at 5000 vehicles when the cost of amortizing the engineering is involved.

What's weird is that I usually love that color yellow- it's very similar to the Solar Beam yellow Mercedes uses. Maroon has been the most captivating color for this car I've seen yet. I can't wait to see these out on the streets regardless. Lexus needed a car with some valet appeal (yes, I know the LFA exists but I hate its looks).

I also didn't notice ambient lighting not from the non obvious places, like door panel or ceiling or whatever.
From Automotive news
In keeping with the luxury coupe theme, the inside of the LC is a great place to spend some time. The thickly bolstered seats hug you like your tipsy aunt, and the interior fit and finish are on par with anything crossing the $100,000 threshold.
