The current LWB is the nightfall edition with options added. I think a better comparison is 2016 LWB @ $77k I think. The SWB remained unchanged between 2016 and 2017.
And I don't take great offense; I'm just the canary in the coal mine. Like I said, let them experience the RCF and GSF pricing mistake all over again.

Another thing. The only people here taking offense are those that don't like me saying it's too expensive.
I'll say it again, as a person who just purchased a brand new LS and might be a prospective buyer of one, the prices people are floating are just too much.
If you don't like that I think it's too much, I don't care. Tough.

"He keeps going on and on about it" well, people keep asking him about his opinion lol. It takes two people to carry on a conversation.
I too think $85k+ is too much money, it's funny that you and I are the only actual new LS consumers in this thread yet people keep telling us we have no idea what we're talking about.

It's not only that, but hey I do enjoy these discussions. I personally think it's great we have differing opinions and I enjoy trying to parlay these things to see if you can convince me otherwise or visa/versa.
But don't get angry and tell me drive other cars. Rewind a few pages. I was trying to have a lively discussion. I was trying to present my case, so to speak, with opinions and thoughts on why I believe it was too much or why I disagree with you, but as soon as I saw you say go drive a G90 I was like, please, that is the pot is calling the kettle black. I wasn't taking offense to anything up until that point and obviously we couldn't convince each other, which is fine.

Personally, I think 80k is the right starting price.

No reason they shouldn't, except that people on here will b**** and say "Lexus has no right to charge those type of prices, they are a Second Tier Luxury Brand!!" And then they hop over to another thread and talk about how Lexus is so much more reliable than the Germans and how they hate it when their snobby buddies act like the Lexus flagship is no where near a German competitor.
I was merely pointing out it is NOT unheard of for an automaker to slap big premiums on each new generation. Which is even more funny for Porsche given that each new generation of 911 pretty much looks like the last, just at 110% scale.

Of all the folks that think the Lexus IS not potentially overpriced, how many are planning to buy one new? If not, maybe thinking Lexus can charge whatever they want is pure fantasy/fanboyism.

We can make this argument because we drive a Lexus and we follow the brand. for any other person that does not follow this cars would rank all three of them on the same scale if at all any car would be rated higher it would be the Benz. i wont be surprised if they even rank a Lexus above BMW. there is no point arguing about price we all know Lexus won't price their car higher than the competitors. We are still in February a lot of things can happen before December a lot of things like the LCF and a V8 LS just like the LS500h to be debuted in Geneva we don't even have a spec yet for that.
