LC is not meant to be a track carver, why would it need a dual clutch. DCT have their own issues. I can see them being more appropriate in a bleeding edge car but not an everyday car. For an everyday car a fast torque converter is good enough.

I do like this car and I really like coupes but it is just not going to sell at that price. It is very nice looking but It is still just not that special to be priced around or over 100K and I am not knocking the car, I am fine with the engine as long as it is priced realistically. Lexus is not the only company that puts a huge price tag on nice coupes and then wonders why they don't sell but Lexus really should know that it does not have the prestige to sell cars priced like this and they really need to have a car like that be seen on the road by the public which is not going to happen at 100K if they want to try to up their image. Lexus is not BMW or Mercedes, they can't price cars around what the Germans charge and expect sales. I still have yet to see a new S class coupe yet I have seen several S class sedans, I don't think they sell many likely due to the S class coupe being priced too high, some high priced German coupes also don't sell. I am hoping they will offer the turbo 6 from the LS in a more affordable LC priced in the 70's, other wise I am afraid the LC which is very nice will be a very low seller you just won't see on the road.

Yes Canadian pricing is more reasonable than US pricing with the currrent exchange rate, but we pay higher sales taxes.
The yellow paint and the white leather interior are not available in Canada in any configuration at all

I don't believe that exterior and interior are available for the US either. US order site lists: Infrared, Nightfall Mica, Ultra-White, Autumn Shimmer, Caviar, Atomic Silver, Liquid Platinum, and Smoky Granite as the exterior colors available, and Black, Rioja Red, and Mid-Brown as the interior choices.

Not just the looks. It is the overall package.
In the lands of many other me too look alikes with BMW, MB, AUDI, and etc........The LOOKS of the LC500 is very unique and rare. I, for one will most likely acquire one when the right combo of color, options, and price crosses and make sense for me. Right now, you are absolutely right, NO GO for me either. I'll wait for the right timing of my above criterias.

So they are basically charging $100k+ for a nice exterior and interior with a left over engine and drivetrain? The car looks amazing and when I saw the Super Bowl commercial I thought it was awesome...until I saw the engine, hp and transmission. I would have liked it better with a V6TT and DCT. Charging over $100k for looks alone is a little tough these days.

Ok so first off, your AD says its from Northwest Lexus, which is is Canada, its Canadian pricing. Your profile says you are in California so unless you plan to buy this in Canada, your base price is $92k.
So why are you saying in the OP you'll buy it with the discount if it looks the same and has the same engine as your RCF? Sounds contradicting to me, either you want it or you don't want it. Who buys a car they don't want?
RCF doesn't impress a lot of the car critics but the LC has been gliding through reviews. RC is an old platform and the LC is entirely new.
The reason why you think it looks the same is because corporate design language. M4 and 6550i is not any different comparatively. In the US, the LC500 starts at only $3k more than the 6550i.

and how about getting the correct US pricing and then do a better comparison?
i am sure tons of people think lexus are way overpriced in general because a toyota does 80% of it for much less, but you still own one

second of all, I was being sarcastic about buying it after the price readjusts back to realism. Everything has a value vs cost. My RCF sure doesn't worth 73k sticker imo when the M4 is far superior performance wise around the same price. But I bought it for a steal of 59k new, so now the good is worth the price. Same concept goes for the LC500 after 30%+ discount
thirdly, since you are such a fanatic, i assume you would be the first buyer of this over priced inferior product (compared with its peers)? I will be waiting for the new car pics
Do you know how much 650i discount for? I was offered a leftover new one with a 35% msrp discount. It's still over priced and you would lose another 10% the second its titled. You can price a product to any dollar amount you want, the market determines how much its worth at the end

20% discount on lx570 in CA? that means 80k for a 98k msrp lx570? i would like to see you buy that car and show the invoice to prove

If you can't get 20% in California, who is stopping you to shop across the states? If being lazy is your thing, thats another story. Can't help you there...
I own one bc I see the value (what i paid) is worth the good. Toyota might cut it for the job being cheaper, but why would I short my self

right... I am going to spend close to 90k after TTL just to prove my point to someone in cyberspace...of a SUV i have no interest in. If you want to wage 90k with me in an escrow account for the bet, PM me.
