Saw my first LC500 on the road yesterday...
I know, I am a bit behind, but just say my first LC500 on the road yesterday. It blew past me on the highway.
Wow. That car takes sexy to a whole new level. I know what I am going to be in the market for (used) when they start coming in off leases. I love the tesla-esque door handles (wonder why they aren't on the LS500?) and just the body lines in general. It really looks like a newer, smaller, LFA. Very striking presence.
Of course, my ultimate car goal is this:
But the LC500 would be a cool stepping stone along the way...

Dare I say compared to the LC that Ferrari looks sedate, even boring.

You may, but you wouldn't think that if you have driven the Ferrari. A purely sublime driving experience. I drive a 458 Italia pretty regularly, and I have to say, it never fails to make me smile.
But I have not driven an LC yet. I want to, but highly doubt I could just stroll into a Lexus Dealer with no intent to buy, and they would let me drive one.

LOL it's not mine. I have a friend that has one and I end up driving it to meets and parties occasionally. I went and got it for him and dropped it at the airport so he would have a way home one time. I even detail it every few months. I wish it was mine, but I am still a bit off from affording one. I just dropped a large cash down payment on my new home, which is more important in my mind
One also must remember, there is a ~200k price gap between the two when new. LOL

I have yet to see one on the road here in LA. I live on the Westisde of Los Angeles, where I usually always see the hot new cars, but not the LC, yet. I saw one on the showroom floor at Lexus Santa Monica... it's a beautiful car.

Good description. You could be a budding ad copy writer.

lol, agreed! That read just like an ad.
I've only seen 4 of these so far, if you count one I saw in the showroom. Only seen them in white, gray, and black (possibly caviar) so far, and it's stunning in all of them, especially black. I'd like to see a red one...

Agreed. The LC looks spectacular.
