I can only imagine if you really "knew" all about this car how much you'd love it. You simply stepped in and drove it without LEARNING all about it. Anybody can do that. The best part of owning one of these is understanding all about it and exactly what it can do, once you SETUP the car to your own preferences. I've had mine almost four years and there is no comparison between the LC and anything made anywhere else. The car exudes quality and will give the owner years of reliable service and enjoyment without spending half the time in the repair shop changing out cheap plastic relays and modules like those German money pits are famous for. This is state of the art design and manufacturing, and Lexus did it is without compromise.

Wireless car play and a touch screen nav system would make it perfect. I’m driving a 2020 this week. I love it. But it’s irritating to have to wait till I’m pulled over to fiddle with the touchpad for things like seat cooling.

[@fontking1a]

@@EP-77o VOICE COMMAND works great so you seldom need the touchpad for anything. CLIMATE CONCIERGE will make the car comfortable for 95% of your driving. Reading and learning about what the car can do is essential if you want to really appreciate the thought that went into this machine. There isn't another car on the market that comes close and that's why you see so many "expensive" cars for sale after a year or two of ownership. They are all garbage.

[@EP-77o]

@@fontking1a I tried the climate concierge. It still requires you to interact with the infotainment manually. You might save one step. This is unnecessary, and unsafe. Particularly given the fact that Toyota has touch screens in many of their newer, much cheaper models.

Inside the cabin, my IS 500 sounds just as glorious. I slightly wish the exhaust sounded like the LC because of your final shot. You were around the corner and yet the car was still audible, but not obnoxious.

[@peterkassner3552]

Maybe you should drive the hybrid before you declare it isn't fun! It's different, but you know, for the same reason that you would buy the LC500 rather than one of the faster German makes (there are more important things than speed and loudness... there is class, comfort, good ergonomics, reliability... for these reasons I would never touch a Merc or BMW....and I HAVE driven them!) So as I said, the LC hybrid is fun for different reasons.. its much more like flying a spaceship, which is more in keeping with the looks of the car... the way you can silently glide around in EV mode, the combined sound of the electric and petrol engines when you accelerate is more Sci fi. On the move acceleration is actually better because the torque from the electric motors is instant, not "almost" instant. In any case, for you to declare that the hybrid isn't fun, without even trying it, shows what a bigot you are, and a very poor car reviewer.

Awesome car, but why is the depreciation factor ffor the LC500 over 50% for 5 years?

[@RustyZipper]

There is no credible data to substantiate the C8 depreciation. The production has been so constrained. If they could have built them as fast as the C7’s then they’d be around 50% as well. Pre - Covid my car was exactly 50% MSRP after 3 years and 20k miles. It’s come up a bit but will only be temporary

Where do you get 50%+? Shopping for these I rarely see one less than 70k yet they cost 100+ even in 2018 so…

[@RustyZipper]

@@jumpman83 - listed for sale at 70k does not mean anyone will pay that much for them, hence why they’re still listed for sale as we approach end of summer soon. Right now I’ll sell mine for $115k which was msrp in 2016. Realistically it’s worth $57k, at least it was in 2020. Just like housing, people are paying stupid money for a house that’s not worth it.

The LC500 is a total failure, just like the RCF, GSF and the current IS500. Lexus/Toyota keep producing failed cars just to say they made certain types of cars, and that's a very bad engineering and business decision. You either make successful product, or you don't make it. There's a simple reason why products are terminated, because they fail to sell, and the reason they fail to sell is simple, they're not good enough to compete with other products on the market. You see the same trend with Toyota/Lexus in their first EV car, a total disaster from the start.

[@bentleygucci]

Wow! You have NO CLUE what you’re talking about regarding the LC. Geez!

@@bentleygucci numbers don't lie, these cars don't sell and don't compete, that's why they discontinue them after a few years. How long has the M or AMG cars been in the market? compare that to the ISF/GSF and soon to be discontinued LC/RCF. This is called reality. If your product isn't good for the purpose it's built, then it will fail.

Yes, marketing is everything. BMW says "Ultimate Driving Machine" and weak minded people lap it up. But, when they get that bill for the $750 wheel bearing or the $3800 cheaply made electronic relay or the $2000 water pump, they are still content to know they are driving the best because BMW says so. That's the difference between schnooks and smart people. Schnooks don't mind spending a fortune on a car that breaks all the time. Smart people don't understand schnooks. Being a moron is perfectly OK. It suits some people. Those who own the LC 500 know what they have and they will probably never part with it because it's the best car on the market today for those who don't love spending money fixing well-advertised money pits. So, as they say in the military 'BOHICA", you schnooks who bought the hype have a great time with your superior cars. We wish you all the best!
