Everyone's favorite LC color + interior combo choice?

I do like a nice red interior but Lexus screwed this up by only offering the super boring Rioja red.

I don't know how you could buy an NSX over this car.

I get buying a GT-R because it's on another level with performance, but vs. the NSX? No way.

NSX competes against supercars, and IMO it is worth it. Most are not capable of exploiting supercars performance, even "lightweight" supercars are heavy compared to Lotus or Miata/GT86. And NSX will be more exclusive and less "badge whore"/"complexed status seeker".

NSX costs twice as much as an LC500. The LCF would be a different story.

I would not have given the car back lol

And NSX will be more exclusive and less "badge whore"/"complexed status seeker".

In regards to badge whores, they named it an Acura here, if they truly was aimed for people that didn't care about badge it would be called the Honda NSX like it is everywhere else In addition there is nothing wrong with people wanting to be associated with brands they feel are superior, align with their own values and just makes people feel good. In contrast yes, some people don't care about badges which is awesome as well. Different strokes for different folks.

Very nice review Kevin

 

[GSCT]

I think Black is the best color for it, which hides that off gap at the top of the grille.
The other colors call attention to it. In black, it becomes seamless, as it should.

IMO EVERY Lexus looks best in black!

Bravo Kevin!

 

[Black Dynamite]

BTW, Kelly Blue Book, after their trip to Spain and first drive, says the LC500 will be just under $100k, and the 500h will be a few grand over $100k.

I've seen the car, I sat in it, but a ride ... damn... :grinning:
Thanks for sharing this, very well done Kevin !

Excellent review,Kevin! I've heard some conflicting information on whether we'll get both models in Norway or just the hybrid,but it sounds to me like the hybrid will be the better choice for countries with little opportunity for high-speed driving,were the low-speed responsiveness of the multi stage hybrid system will be better.
