Disappointed at the lack of ultra sonic blue or structural blue option. And the original bespoke blue interior option.
I have a thing for blue cars. But nightfall Blue is not blue. It’s black with blue hue in bright light.
I’m torn between keeping my GSF or bite the bullet and get an LC.

Agreed - i was hoping we can order the lighter blue color that was available on the launch LC.

There really isn’t much customization available here compared to other competitors where not only can you option various color combos but also stitching, trim etc.

The bespoke build is a joke as you just get all that stuff in the Dynamic Handling Package. The only thing extra bespoke gives is option for different wheels and black chrome trim. I was expecting much more…

They took out the Obisidian black. It make sense, because with the bespoke someone can order the same color scheme of 2021 Inspiration exept for inside badge number lolz. But for the exterior it will be the same if order Obisidian, black wheel and carbon wing. That is my guess.

Actually, no.
Don’t know why you keep bringing this up on the bespoke build. Yes, it’s 3K more than the base price. However, all bespoke build comes with Sport package. So if you take your base model and add in the sport package. It’s about the same.

I like the look of the black wheels and the black chrome looks good too.

Have to admit, as the owner of a six-month old LC 'vert, I'm kinda relieved that the changes were so minor. If they had come in with a touchscreen or 360-degree/birdseye camera view or standard four-wheel steering, I'd be a little..annoyed.

The LC 500 gets a few enhancements and cool new customization options for 2022.

not sure where you found it comes with Sport package because i don't see that it does.

that is wrong on about every point.

the bespoke build is basically the inspiration with ability to adjust it.
leather or alcantara seats.
none, fixed, or motorized wing.
unique colors.
wheel options
chrome or dark chrome trim
lass or cf roof
etc.

like previous inspirations, it does NOT include all of the dynamic handling package (nor are they shown as options which is odd if it's really bespoke). no vgrs/rear-steer. doesn't even mention limited slip.

but it's still better than the take it or leave it inspiration.

.
From Lexus press room.
https://pressroom.lexus.com/whats-new-2022-lc-500-500h/

. The LC Bespoke Build is based on the Sport Package, which includes Torsen limited-slip rear differential with Yamaha rear performance damper, high mu performance brake pads and Intuitive Parking Assist. The all-weather package with heated steering wheel is also standard.”

My problem with this is there’s no mention of rear wheel steer and no option to add it. I asked the dealer and they know nothing about it and said they can’t even order anything through Lexus right now.

But its not Bespoke as it doesn’t bring anything new to the table that is not already offered on the Dynamic Handling Package. All i want is the black chrome trim and wheels paired with Dynamic Handling pack and some nice blue color. They even removed the nice silver that LC had for 2022.
BTW i tried to build Ifrared Ext with Circuit Red interior and system said no go. That is OPPOSITE of bespoke!

At least offer some unique exterior colors, contrast stitching etc. This shouldn’t be that hard if Chevy can do it on a $60k Corvette yet Lexus can’t offer it on a $100k flagship.

I don’t believe that Lexus has any clue as to what they are doing with this Bespoke crap.

They don’t understand the Luxury $100k+ auto market like Porsche, Mercedes, etc.

They didn’t even include a 360-, let alone a front camera on my LC.

Anyone figureed it out, why LC did not have 360 camera. How can we ask Lexus to answer this question. That is basic function in every new car nowadays. I bought Beatsonic front camera, and have schedule to install on 12/16.
