wow and after they just upgraded all the tech stuff. My guess is the US/NA market and some others will get 25’s perhaps as last MY special edition. My 24 just arrived and will be checking it out tomorrow afternoon.

Trying to keep up with UK emissions standards for the volume they were selling wasn’t worth it, looks like.

|I'm not sure it was the emission standards, but more so that for some strange reason the LC just didn't sell in any real quantity. To date, only something around 560 units have ever been registered, and that figure includes approximately 190 hybrid versions. Never can quite understand why when so many crank their necks just to get a view.
