lot of rumors and news regarding the LC lately
which makes me so excited to see what Lexus will do with all it's line-up
and how the LC will stand in the face of it's competitors

I am so excited to see this in person. I love looking at the GSF at my Lexus dealer but this is going to be so much better!

As Sato notes, one of the most interesting things about this part of the market is that everyone does things a little differently. It's not like other segments, where everyone does their own variation of the same theme - you have everything from a 911 to the 6 Series. LC will be a great introduction.

That is the biggest issue in the auto industry. And when one creates are niche product, all others follow. Can't they come up with something of their own?

The LC is remarkable in person, definitely going to be a show car in every dealership across the world.
