I would count the LC 500 as performance oriented and comfortable

To me the RC F is just laughable against the M4 and C63 coupe, plus the RC F seats are terrible for over eaters like me

Did they take off the Authobahn from their list? Not seeing it at all.

Yup, the whole event was cancelled and will not be rescheduled.

The crappy carrot offered was that they will have 10 LCs to test drive at the Geneva Concours on August 27.

The upside is now I can go watch the Bears get wrecked by the Falcons on September 10.

You do get to drive the LC500. You drag the IS/RC350, autocross the RCF/GSF, then run two laps in the LC500 in a timed autocross.
