Default Kiwi LC

Been lusting after an LC for a few years now, been a V8 man for nearly 40 years

Thought I had better pull my finger out before they disappear, shook hands on a 2024 USB coupe on Monday

Waiting to sign the papers once the car has be ordered & allocated to be built, I was told September delivery

Its a little different now

I can easily remember the milk bottle, I was a little young to venture into bars back them, you can still get milk delivered to you door in glass bottles though

Congrats - hard part is waiting - I was fortunate to find one configured exactly as I wanted so I was able to buy off the rack. If you haven't watched the SavageGeese reviews of this car, I highly recommend - I agree with everything they say about it being all about the intangibles and the feeling of the car - every drive feels special. The sound and fury of the NA V8 + Toyota quality = keep forever!

The last one of these turned up this morning, all the way from Texas



Collectively they owe me less than buying a single new one here, even with the freight


Hope I never need to use any of them

Just been at the dealership to trade the GR86 in for a GR Sport CHR for my partner, a more suitable vehicle for a new grandma

The CEO was waiting with a big smile on his face, my LC has moved forward, will be here September now

I’d call them, quickly. The steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Just kidding. Enjoy.
