Default Worst selling Japanese cars in USA

Saw this video on Kurk Kreifel's YouTube channel. He does a lot of Lexus content. Our LC was the 4th lowest on the list 1324 units sold.

Personally I'm happy about this as it keeps are cars exclusive. Below is a link to the video. The NSX was number 1.

I rarely see LC's on the road.

But Friday I saw a silver one on the road near my house.....and yesterday I saw a white one in almost the same exact place. LoL

Both coupes.....I still haven't seen a convertible in the wild yet......except mine.

Don't want to quibble, but the number was actually 1325

I feel the guy’s videos are heavy on speculation and light on analysis
Still, he is popular and seems to have some less than fully public sources of intel
I commented on this one as an owner of a Gen 2 NSX and LC 500 Convertible

You have two of the rarest on the list. Enjoy knowing you're probably the only one with that combination!!

a true halo car. hard to believe a major manufacturer would continue production
with those minuscule numbers - unless they want a halo

With such low numbers, I really wondered if Lexus
will keep the LC500 around.

Also, wonder what low production will do to
resale value? Eyeing a 2019 LC500 in 3 years

Wow!! Are you on the 2nd Gen NSX facebook page?

I also have the Gen 2 NSX, and debating the LC 500 or a Jaguar F-type...or maybe a C8 down the road, or the Tesla roadster if it ever gets released...haha.

Can you tell me how you like the LC as a daily driver? I'm considering the LC as a daily vs my weekender NSX.

I totally agree. The less LC's on the road the better. Makes us unique Plus resell value is pretty much a non issue for 100k cars. We aren't buying them to sell them
