I like the new LC, but I'm not in love. The chrome strip at the top of the grille is missing, and that throws off the entire front end for me.
Like a hot chick with a Michale Strahan-gap between her two front teefus!
IT'S HAUNTING ME......

Sat in the LC recently and really loved it, looking forward to testing driving it and possibly getting one next summer. If the media embargo is lifted 12/8, does that mean all official pricing and dates, details will be released as well? Can't wait to see your review! Especially of the Hybrid

He talks about the embargo in the video, so I guess it's OK with Lexus? Still seems weird, but I won't say no to a sneak preview.

I love everything about this car. Now the problem is, do I buy the first iteration or wait until the revision?

For me, I'm not waiting, I'm going for the LC possibly blue on white (if they have white interior, which they should) and when that lease is over maybe going into the new LS or the MB CLS.

The sound in that Burgundy LC, wow that is an amazing sound. I really wanted to go with Hybrid but the sound may also play a small factor in my decision making process. I have no doubt they'll also make the sound great on the hybrid as well though.

Can't wait to your thoughts on the LC and how you think it fits with the current direction of Lexus. I'm really liking the LFA-influence on this car with some of the design features as well as the functional design Lexus incorporates into it. Watching those teasers has me really excited for this car.

The full embargo is Friday....I assume these videos are okay with them playing with the LC and not providing a full review.

Which means I need to drop my LC video from SEMA I've been sitting on 🙂

I'm waiting for the new GS hybrid based on this new GA-L platform which from the facts online has an amazingly low Center of Mass/Gravity and is very light for its chassis strength/rigidity.And the new Multi-Stage Hybrid System with sub-5 sec 0-100 km/h with a 3.5 V6 sounds very promising.

I agree with much of what you said, but the LC is estimated to weigh 4,000+ lbs... that's not light by any stretch. Current GS is the lightest car in its class I think.

I am not expecting GA-L products to be light, unfortunately.

Today at 8am PT/11am ET, I'll be publishing a full technical overview of the LC -- it's more than 3,000 words and 100 photos, so there should be something for everyone. My personal impressions will follow on Monday as to avoid information overload and maintain my sanity.

I figure we'll keep going with reviews from other outlets here and split my technical overview into its own thread -- can't wait to see what people think of this car!
