I agree good review. I liked that it was concise and to the point. Very even handed coming from a BMW forum.

For all the "Lexus' polarizing design is a failure" complainers;Lexus LC named Production Car Design of the Year 2017

...over Bugatti Chiron and Volvo v90. And isn't it odd that Acura is nowhere to be found on that list? I thought Lexus was the new Acura...

Car is awesome, wheels are terrible. Definitely whoever buys these should order some new rolling stock.

the LC is a great looking car. but no doubt that 'list' is very politically put together. plus, how bad must design be when this is #2



and this is #7

The Volvo is a very nice design. Automobiles do not have to be a sexy coupe or supercar in order to be a very nice design. #7, I agree, yuck.

The Acura NSX is much better looking and sexier then the Lexus LC.

I would not put too much into that design award though. All the cars on that list aside from the Bugatti Chiron are homely at best.

2022....will it be gen2 LC by then? 600hp will be pretty much entry level by then and 700hp will be the new norm. What are they going to fill the void between $100k to $199k with? I dont see the LCF being more than $150k. Then again the c&d is saying the v8tt will replace the regular na v8.
