We have a 23 LC and a 24 LS. Oddly, they are VERY similar as far as the interior and maneuverability go. I have to say that I am not a fan of the touchscreen (LS) and can operate the track-pad (LC) with less distraction. In order to use the touchscreen, you have to lean out of your normal driving position to interact with it. You can fudge-about with the track pad at your leisure without becoming distracted. I will admit the addition of dedicated buttons to get to certain screens is a plus, but the general operation of the touchscreen is worse (more effort) than the track-pad. (IMO) In the real world, you rarely have to use either one, so, whatever. It's still a great car. The 360-degree camera is the only thing I wish the 23 LC had.

MORE PHOTOS / FULL OPTIONS BREAKDOWN: www.clublexus.com/articles/the-2024-lc-500-convertible-is-finally-perfect/ *NOTE: while attempting to tie the LC's build quality to the LFA (they are/were both produced at the same factory, etc.) I said that the LC is "hand built" and that's not accurate given all the high-tech automation Lexus uses to assemble these works of art. Should have cut that line. Sorry for the mistake.

I am so glad they brought that contrasting color combination back. They had that stellar combo in the launch editions that was very similar with the white and blue but also had orange accents in addition. I personally love that white interior with the blue contrast. I keep my car pristine so it would be no problem for me to have the white color interior. It looks so gosh darn classy. I really elevates the vehicle. For the money, you would be hard pressed to find a similar performing, looking, sounding, and quality of fit and finish vehicle for the same amount of money you pay for this incredible machine. Japanese V8 engines are built to a quality similar to the finest Swiss watches! This vehicle (in the Coupe form) is one of my all time dream cars!

The touch screen does look out of place, last minute slap on. It doesn’t fit in with the rest of the dash, they could’ve done a bit better with the design integrated with the rest of the dash more but I think being the last product of the LC before going into the new redesign they just don’t wanna spend the effort and just to make people happy with the new technology.

The real question is will apple edit " can Lexus or a third party retrofit " or mod that new infotainment system or something similar similar to it in functionality and quality for say $5000 or so. There are a lot of luxury older cars that only lack a well thought out touchscreen is and apps, wireless apple carplay and Android auto and the ability to control the same thing the hard to use touch pads from Lexus Acura etc have in them.etc If they can hack a car computer for more performance then surely they can hack one for better infotainment control perhaps even add a panel of tactile switches and knobs for direct ac volume tune control control? Vw GTI anyone?

Love the idea of taking your eyes off the road and playing with the pretty icons while you're traveling at 130 feet per second. The same way we've found out that TEXTING is a good way to get dead, we now find that Lexus submitted to the lazy morons who refused to learn VOICE COMMAND with the previous INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. Yep, saying things like "AM 780" .ro "Call my wife" is really hard. Even harder is saying "Get directions to 345 Main Street, Anytown, Texas." So, for the people who love to live dangerously, they got their wish. In three seconds you have covered a distance longer than a soccer field and your eyes weren't paying attention to the guy in front of you. How lovely!! The LC 500 is still an awesome machine but unfortunately, we're probably going to see this "change" wasn't that great of an idea.
