yup. But unfortunately Lexus already set the bar for LC pricing at 6 figures, any future 600+hp superior model will add at least 20-30k to the price tag minimum. Again, at that point, so many other better options to choose from

I just build the LC. Lexus is copying the Germans by not including expected options at the 6 figure price tag, but adding them as options (HUD, ML audio, performance package...). What a shame

Looks like it's just a car for who spent the most cash. I test drove one today, left the dealership real quick! Although I did like that 10 speed, RPM's were even lower than I expected at 85mph.

It's simple. Has anyone seen a woman drive an RCF?

The LC500 will attract females into the sports coupe market that the RCF doesn't.

I dont know. I dont see what about the LC that would attract them besides the interior. Females are generally attracted to smaller coupes so its easier to maneuver, and a well interior optioned A5, 428, c300 coupe are magnets for them at half the price

You don't think that some empty nesting soccer mom will trade in her RX for an LC? The LC500 is a "pretty" car compared to the RCF's aggressive lines.I guess time will tell.
On another note, I loved my LS460 but had to get rid of it when I saw too many gray haired grandma's driving them.

You are a 100% on the money with that. And at that power it needs to be awd. Hell the rc-f needs awd in its currant state.

I'm literally starting to save money for the LC-F i they do come out with one. i don't think i can live with a low trim model car. If the LC-F is turbocharged, i would like to keep the RC-F still. just a rare treat to have e all motor v8.

Trying to find a way to have my cake and eat it too. I want a dedicated sports car or GT, so the 911, LC and RC are in the picture, BUT I need utility and a daily driver. I love the NA V8, so I might just get the GS-F for daily use and the 911/LC for play.

911 are great cars. i think a big reason I'm into cars is because i like to modify and change things out. i feel like i can't do that with porsche. they are just so great as is.

I just recently checked JD Power dependability study and saw that Porsche was second to Lexus. That's another reason why Lexus and Porsche are at the top of my list

If I were in your shoes, I'd go with the GS-F/911 combo considering the GS-F and LC have such close performance capabilities. Now when the F is thrown on that LC... Oh man.
