Default 2025 on the way

I am a long time member and owner of an SC, LX, and LS. I have wanted the LC since the concept days and I finally pulled the trigger. Just got the first details from my dealer and should have more info soon. No hurry but hope to have it by the end of the year. So excited to finally get one. I looked at several Certified cars which I still believe is the best way to grab one, but I wanted a coupe with specific colors so I just decided to spend the extra money an grab one of the last new ones while I could. Most low mile used coupes are holding very good values so I think buying one of the last coupes available is a good move. Looking forward to the next few weeks of waiting.

Congrats! The waiting is the hardest part but it'll be worth it. What specs and color did you order?

Can you give a little detail about what your dealer told you or what you received as confirmation? I am trying to get a specific color and spec 25 as well.

Never heard or seen it publicized. Usually, this kind of info is in the press release.

I ordered on July 15th. The dealer wasn't sure, but we both figured it would be a 25 model at that point. The dealer confirmed the factory accepted the order on October 15 (day after the 2025 press release). The dealer said they're waiting for their next allocation and then Lexus will start building it. Kind of frustrating somewhat and I don't have a ton of confidence in the dealer to be honest. It took 2 weeks for the dealer to confirm they could order the red convertible top.

Nobody knows anything like this outside of Lexus Headquarters in Japan.

I'm sure there will be but nobody knows any details of what that will entail. As far as I know there was only one year in which they did not bring an Inspiration Series to the US (2023), however, it did exist in other markets.
