^^ With me, I don't fully utilize the powertrain to it's full potential. For me, the interior (cabin) and exterior is a bit more important for me as that is what turns my crank, how the car looks. If I did a lot of driving, sure the V8 would be important. Don't get me wrong, I LOVEEEEEEE the V8 but getting the UE changes the interior color but that is about it while the 2026 is a drastic interior change. The thing is I can trade my 500 and get into a 2026 350 for very little extra money (if any) while to go into the UE, I will need to fork an extra 30k Canadian (trade in value plus delta)

Yes sir! I think the colour variation depends on the phone camera and angle of the shot. This was taken using a newer generation iPhone with regular daytime lighting from the dealership.

Just to say congratulations on the car it's gorgeous. I traded my Launch Edition for the RCF Final Edition. I wanted to get the Ultimate but my dealership was not sure if they would get the allocation so when the RCF came available out of the blue I grabbed It. My LE is on sale at Lexus on the park in Toronto. What number of 500 did you get if you don't mind sharing? My RCF WAS 130 OF 200

So, the one with like 20k km was yours? I'd be curious how much trade-in they gave you, I'm waiting for the UE to get at my dealer in Quebec and probably trade in my LE which also has 20k km on it...
From what I've seen, looks like they sold it as I don't see it on their website anymore.
You cam PM be if you don't want to make this public! Thx!!
