Default 2023 Model Year Updates and Pricing Announced

https://pressroom.lexus.com/whats-new-2023-lc-500-500h/


​​​​​​PLANO, TX (October 5, 2022) – Since its inception, the LC 500 family has represented a harmonious blend of emotional design and top tier driving performance. Through a process of continuous improvement, or kaizen, Lexus engineers consistently refine the flagship sports coupe. Building upon last year’s updates to wheels, suspension and vehicle stability control, the LC 500 and LC 500h return for 2023 with additional suspension enhancements based on the Lexus Driving Signature philosophy.

The 2023 LC 500 and the LC 500h are expected to arrive in dealerships in November 2022....

It definitely feels like the end of the LC500 production draws nigh.

Imagine that, can’t believe they’ve run out of marketing ideas already. If there is no IS, the LC is definitely on life support.....

The Convertible is not part of the Bespoke Program.

i think that 500h might be a very weird future collectable... the production numbers must be in the low double digits globally since launch.

well outside the u.s. it's important, but if gas prices skyrocket here, it will become important again!

ah, thanks... with Lexus IS model long (and still) available and a post of an image of an IS right above yours, it's understandable.

as for the inspiration series​​​​​​, yes no mention of it for '23 yet, but maybe they will still. i don't think other year announcements of inspiration have necessarily been right along with the new year model release/announcement.
