Unfortunately, it probably handles like a Toyota Avalon. I keed, I keed.
I like the side view, but am over the huge hourglass grille. |

This is the LC roadster. I agree that is has a beautiful design. Look up the curb weight and you may lose interest like I did. The coupe variant weights more than a Porsche Panamera to give perspective.

I've also played around with the LC irl, interior quality is beyond anything the German big 3 are doing atm at any price point Bmw putting that new 8 up against the LC is embarrassing |

Agreed. New 8 series is one serious bad looking car and yes, the quality is nowhere near what you’d expect from that price point, but I’d also say this is overwhelmingly a theme for BMW at high price points - they just don’t look or feel the part regarding quality, finish and fitment.

Like the LC coupe, it's a great looking car that is woefully behind the market in the engine/powertrain department. And other Lexus models are no better in that area.
Still no firm details on when the oft-rumored Toyota turbocharged V8 will see the light of day, and no turbo V6 or N/A V8 hybrid drivetrain that would put this and other high end Lexus vehicles in the performance conversation. If they don't intend to compete in performance - fine - that is reasonable if they can generate sales without that. But then why introduce things like the new RC "Track Edition"? Ok, to be fair Autoblog seems to think the V8 will be tweaked to 100hp/L: https://www.autoblog.com/2018/12/06/...tion-official/ I am not so sure. Even if so, that's still going to put it way behind the top AMG and M models. |

While this one doesn't turn me on, Toyota can make performance vehicles (see its racing success). In the case of Lexus it apparently decided to compete with the Germans on luxury, not performance, and that has worked out well for Toyota.
The question will be what compromises will Toyota make as it tries to become more performance oriented? It looks like Toyota is trying to take on the Germans and, interestingly to me, it appears that Lincoln is trying to take over the luxury above all else mantra. |

Meh, I'd have an M4, M6, M850i, C63s 'vert and probably a few others before considering this. They are very good looking but the interior and engine don't interest me at all.

Even with the giant grill, I still think its one of the best looking uber luxury coupes out there. The Mercedes S coupe may give it a run in the looks and interior department, but that also costs almost double

Definitely the Sexiest and Nicest looking GT inside and out, for @ $100k... Period!
They have tremendous "road presence". Wide, low, futuristic. Interior is amazing also. |
