Well BMW 650 and MB is around 100k, with 455 HP turbo. So I guess this will get by if the MSRP is around there. Any info on it? Hope it's not 150k

Just a lovely speech by Akio "Lexus" Toyoda ! Some new photos of the interior. All this comes nearly 25 years after the original SC introduction in May 1991.

Other review hinted 3.5 hybrid with 450+ HP, while LC F in the works with 4.0 turbo pushing 600+ HP, we still have hopes.

Interior is like an updated LFA interior mixed with more traditional Lexus interiors. In the press info, they are calling it a Front Mid mounted engine like the LFA with low seating position and weight concentrated toward the middle. Sort of like a baby LFA. Kinda cool!

Default 2018 Lexus LC - Thoughts?

http://www.lexus.com/concept/LC/#/






Lexus debuted the Lexus LC concept today. Looks good but they aren't done recycling that 467 V8 from the GSF and RCF just yet it doesn't look like.

Was hoping to hear 500hp. But very curious about price, weight etc...Amazed they said BORING, and that it didn't change much from concept.

Amazing for the driver but not so much for the folks in the back

Looks like no woodwork, is that true?

I sense you can buy it in 2018 for 25k off the sticker price.

That's a good thing. Seems like an SC replacement, just hope it doesn't weigh a ton.
