Default 2016 NAIAS: Take a Virtual Walk Around the 2017 Lexus LC 500

2016 NAIAS: Take a Virtual Walk Around the 2018 Lexus LC 500



Here's some enticing footage of the 2018 Lexus LC 500 from the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. From all angles, too - from its 3D mesh grille to its triple LED headlamps to its strikingly angular rear to its LFA-influenced interior featuring Takumi craftsmanship.

The rear looks hideous. I'm not thrilled about the silver trim that flows vertically down from the headlights, but aside from that, the front-end is well executed. The interior looks great.

Akio Toyoda at the end: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is just the beginning!"



Am I reading too much into it or is he hinting at the return of LFA? It could just be that all Lexus currently in development are being crafted together by the new Designer+Engineer process that Lexus went through with the LC 500.

I personally think he is talking about the LS replacement, which should be quite something based on some of their recent concepts.

Not sure what the point of this car is, and what segment it is going to compete with? Why does LEXUS need Another coupe, when they just debuted the RC last year?

RC competes with the 4 Series, SC competes with the 6 Series, LC competes with the 8 Series or S Class coupe...

^^ I think he's just referring to an LC F coming soon after the LC500. Maybe another LFA II in the future but for now they just made this new platform so why not just build on this which looks great already.
