That is pretty much the exact reason for getting a bespoke LC so that you can order the specs that you want sans dynamic handling. For me the dynamic handling was a non issue for a grand touring car. I doubt my driving style would miss it more than 1% of the time.

Ha!
That’s the problem, I want the DHP so the bespoke pathway doesn’t work for me.

Not much of an update: gathered my thoughts, reached out yesterday to inform the salesman it was the wrong color...he was basically speechless. They were already nervous about ordering an LC 500 coupe since they are low volume and can be hard to sell, so even the manager had reached out to gauge how serious I was. Now they may be stuck with a car I don't want and they are probably scrambling in the background. Never heard anything back after the initial call, salesman was going to talk internally.

I can't imagine they're going to have trouble selling a USB LC. Someone not local will 100% buy it if the market locally is small, they don't make a ton in USB at all especially non-bespoke with DHP

Someone will settle on this car and hold the dealer hostage in getting a discount because the dealer being small and does not move many LC's.

I’m sure the dealer is smart enough to know the LC500 demand especially an USB with DHP package. They should not have any problem moving that vehicle. Lots of people are buying cars online and have it shipped across the country.
