Lexus LC 500 & LC 500h Megathread

[sl0519]

Could not be further from the truth. Every car has its own unique advantages. RCF, LC500, GSF, IS500 F-Sport all have their own unique advantages. There is no one size fits all. A buyer typically realizes there is no having your cake and eating it too. The reviewer is not revealing any surprises there. I speak as someone who actually went through the buying a $90 K RCF.

I wasn't really talking about the F cars themselves. I'm just rather disappointing to see they've shown little to no care maintaining the F brand, especially given how large scale TMC was vs. what they've actually achieved.

I cant go into detail, but people dont understand what went into making this car, or how much of it was done by literally a couple of savant-level talents.

We are so lucky we got it. Its inception is an exception to how TMC usually originates new vehicles.

I was at 28.1 MPG at this stop.. ended up at 26.7… Atlanta to St Augustine.. Most of the ride in comfort mode and exhaust valves closed… Kid in the backseat, trunk full, what a f-ing GT…. love this thing…

Hideous wheel coloring. They should've kept the original one without the inversion.

luv the Lex luggage! ... You easily packed more than I would have thought in that space

Well-fitting luggage was always key for traveling in a Miata.

Hung out with the homie Chad Deschenes over the weekend and took some pics of his Aimgain LC! He’s getting his wheels refinished so more coming!

The "panda" look with CF fenders doesn't look good on 3ISs and sure as hell don't look good here on an LC! 😠

I'd rather see your LC500 Mike!

This is close to being great. The inset parts of the fenders should've stayed white and then that would be a hot look. Right now it's fighting the car's lines instead of working with them.

Challenge: post a picture of a LC500 in bad color and ugly modifications.

Agreed, to me it looks like they forgot to remove the protective film.
