I'm fine with the idea of a 'halo car' or 'vanity project' but why in God's name did Lexus not go whole hog with the interior also? It looks horribly dated like the current design across the Lexus models.

I don't agree with that, nor do any of the reviews of the car. The reviews of the interior have been very positive.

This is a FORUM - everyone has different thoughts.
I said over and over, the interior in person will not blow you away at all.
Just look at my video! I think the gauges are the coolest thing about it.
The MMI interface is really dated and way behind Audi, BMW and MB.
The engine dates back 10yrs to original ISF.
The new 10speed Auto is a positive but they need 600hp + engine to put this thing on the map.
New 6 and 8 Series are coming, new E class coupe as well - tons of competition.
I hate for this thing to be discontinued like the old SC.

Regardless of your opinion when you saw it, that doesn't change the fact that overwhelmingly most of the professional and enthusiast reviews of the interior have been positive. I haven't seen the car myself yet so I'll post my thoughts when I do.

I'm not rejecting anything, I do have a right to disagree you know.
No offense, but I don't consider you to be an unbiased source based on your record of being extremely critical of Lexus and Lexus products. You're a BMW fan and that comes through in everything you post.

We get it, the most important thing to you is a huge HP number, thats always your criticism. Not everybody is so focused on that.

I try to post facts as much as I can.
I have 2 Subarus as well, 1 of them being 50% Toyota.
Many members here have been critical of Lexus bec they are lagging in many areas from where they were 10-15yrs ago.
LC has a lot of potential but old engine and high price will not help.
Those are unbiased opinions.

I Have driven a # of RCFs and ISFs even on track.
5.0 engine is great and plenty of power for 99.9% of people.
Unfortunately when it comes to sales and dropping $100k on a fancy coupe, typical buyers want to see big #s for HP or a Badge. MB can get away with selling 4cyl Eclass and nobody cares. But for Lexus, they need to be more competitive to win their share of a market space they never really been in for past 10 years.
Look at BMW as example with the i8.....they cant sell this thing bec nobody wants hybrid inline 3 engine. It sold well in 1st year bec it looks cool but now there is no demand.

Despite your comments on the LC, I do believe that the LC will do very well for Lexus.

So you want the LC to be cheaper than $80k and have more than 600hp while the 650i coupe only has 445hp and starts at $89k?
Your expectations are pretty absurd. According to all of the articles written on the LC, this thing is already on the map and ahead of the pack, and it did it with 471hp.

He's not wrong, the reviews for exterior AND interior have been stellar, if we're talking about actual car reviews, newsletters, articles. I have my own little gripes about the interior but generally speaking, it was very well done.
