I think the regular LC500 is about $100k. The Hybrid might be $110k or $100k since it doesnt bring any performance advantage. The $150k pricetag might be the LCF that we dont know of yet. If the LC500 is priced at $150k, it will be another pricing fiasco like the RCF and GSF, which I doubt that would be the case.

It looks like a 21st century Supra! I'll get my coat...
The SL looks a bit too bling to be classy whereas the LC looks like a Japanese Aston Martin. It has a nice understated vibe to it, like the LFA or a DB9 or even an i8.

Get the LC 500 Scoop Straight From the Chief Engineer and Designer
Ever since Lexus debuted the stunning LC 500 coupe at the 2016 NAIAS in Detroit, we've be clamoring to learn everything we can about the car. Now, thanks to this interview with the LC's Chief Engineer, Koji Sato, and Chief Designer, Tadao Mori, we're getting an earful.

Not really impressed with the outside design. My rcf has more curves and the LC500 uses similar grill, lights and vents but loses the hood vent. Nothing stands out.
I don't see why it warrants a six figure price tag when the engine is even the same as the rcf/gsf

Let's start with availability. It sure would be nice to have some idea of when this car will actually be available in any meaningful numbers for purchase. Then we can argue about how much it costs, whether the spindle grille is good or bad, horsepower, etc.

It would be nice to find out when this LC is going to released, I am surprised that Toyota is not able to get it out sooner. That 5.0 is already 10 years old, it will be even older in a couple more years. The interior does look like it has nice materials, too bad it has to be a 4 seater.

Btw the GsF shares the same seats and interior just with different layout of instruments. So basically you are also calling 89k gsf an econobox
So when does upgraded interior warrant at least 40-50k premium (new rcf are selling under 60k currently btw)? With the same outdated inferior engine compared to competitors, the LC 500 would need steep discounts to move after the initial hype
