Too bad the LC500 lacks one.

They are also in style now. That is big thing too

irrelevant to you since you'll never own an lc500 and irrelevant to me since i have ZERO interest in sun roofs.

No ownership for me as lack of sunroof is the dealbreaker. The Remote touch is the other dealbreaker. Ancient engine is not.

I thought there was an optional sunroof on the LC500. It's just not available if you get the carbon fiber roof, no?

Doesn't look like it. Choices seem to be metal slicktop, carbon slicktop, or ragtop.

I'm seeing quite a few pictures of LCs online with sunroofs.




On the Lexus web site, I'm not seeing where it's an option except on the bespoke build, where it's listed as a $0 option.

there was a glass (non-opening?) roof option with a shade i think but don't think it's available now as they have the convertible.

Makes sense with the addition of the convertible that the only way to get one now is a bespoke build. Thanks bit!

At least his ancient engine isn't an even more ancient, underpowered, heavy V6 lol!

The carbon roof is way way way cooler than any sunroof will ever be IMO.

And they still look like a 60s/70s landau top, the mullet of the automotive world.

meh. Carbon roof doesn’t do anything to let fresh air or sunshine inside. I would rather see Lexus offer full time awd with a Torsen diff like that have on the Lexus LS500, Lexus is so behind.

Super lame for Lexus to not allow it to open
