Lexus LC

simon the pieman · 07-26-2017, 09:12 AM

My nephew (who works for Toyota) sent me some pics of the new LC arriving at the dealership this morning.
Not sure to be honest and the interior is so Japanese I don't like it.
It's certainly no i8 or AMG GT for similar money.

Coincidentally I was looking up on the LC 500 this afternoon after watching the latest episode of Samurai Wheels (some English-language Japanese motoring programme on Sky). Starting price is £77k. They raved so much about this car the 2 presenters gave it 99 and 99.9 out of 100. Personally I'd buy a GTR instead.

Yeah I'm quite into the exterior. Some details such as the rear lights as sublime. The interior looks a bit like several different departments were involved without exchanging design ideas.

The 'h' also doesn't seem very efficient. The exterior though for me is gorgeous.

I saw one on the road yesterday outside Peterborough and it looked stunning. Loved it.

Yes I like the way it looks now I've looked at the pictures more but I've never liked jap interiors.
For me the interior has got to be a place you enjoy. That doesn't.
Germans do the best interiors imo.

Looks good on the outside

The interior is typical Japanese. Surprised the 1984 digital clock hasn't survived

That's very nice. I like Lexus interiors too, very high quality and pictures never do them justice.

The 477bhp V8 LC500, in top of the range Sport+ Pack trim and with every option (both of them) ticked comes to £88.5k, but even the £77k 'base' model is exceptionally well equipped compared with the Germans.
