Very cool LC500h details. Love that it has some good potential for efficiency.

I read that the next 6 Series will be somewhat lighter and more lively to drive. If it looks like this, Lexus will still have some competition.

Not typically. Most recent pricing seems to vary from $59k to mid-$60k according to this thread...

I did read the thread before I asked. 59K is the lowest people posted and only a few guy got that deal. Yes, everyone else got one for 61K-63K.

57k-59K vs 61K-63K is almost $100 in monthly payment.

Is that a render? If its a real concept I'm not familiar with it. Don't get me wrong, whatever it is, it has a classy Teutonic muscle look to it, but it is nowhere near as exotic looking as the LC

It is a render from Autobild in Germany. They are usually pretty accurate in their predictions. No, not as exotic but very attractive nonetheless.

Wish others would do their homework as well before posting.

The DLO will never legally be that small, so this is a pie in the sky render.

By Deadpool logic, it's 4 ratio on 6 virtual gears, 4x6 = 24 speed.

Nah, just the 10 speed 4 of those are physical.

Actually the 5-series is based on the 7-series so does that mean the 5-series is one class higher than the GS? I think not.

From all the specs and PR and quoted price targets so far the LC is going to be considered a direct rival to the 6-series. The LC will likely be superior to the 6-series in most aspects, but that doesn't make it in a different class.

The S Coupe on the other hand is a much larger, heavier, pricier and more voluminous car, and is thus a class above the LC and the 6-series.
