Default FINALLY getting my LC

After 7-8 months, I'm now apparently only a few days away from taking delivery of my new LC500! Nori Green over Caramel coupe, with essentially all the options boxes ticked (not bespoke, didn't see the point...)

Yeay! And no mention of tariff pricing adjustments, thankfully...!

My first Lexus, after a long line of mostly BMWs and Alpinas (with the occasional Lotus, Porsche, Range Rover, VW and even Genesis thrown in).

Congrats! Beautiful and rare spec. Post up some pics when you take the keys!

Awesome news — soon we can say Congrats 🙌

Don’t forget to post pics once in possession or with the Big a$$ Bow on top before you drive off into the sunset 🌅

Not many Nori Green’s out there. Hopefully it’s sunny so it can shine in all its glory…

@Hythe
That is very exciting news!
You have good taste, Nori green is a beautiful understated color. I’m looking forward to your pictures and initial thoughts. Did you select the standard wheels or an optional choice?

Thanks all! I have some past form with green cars (and purple ones)… almost exactly 20 years ago I took delivery of a very special Alpina in Malachite Green over caramel leather!

I will certainly post pics, once I have the beast in hand…

Went for the optional wheels - they just looked more interesting and I think they look particularly great against the green paint.

A friend of mine has this '20 Inspiration Edition in Nori Green, beautiful color. Congrats! I think the main reason I went with bespoke on my '24 was to get the wheels I wanted.

Is the 2020 Inspiration the one with the lovely Chocolate and Caramel two-tone interior, or was that just in the UK special edition?

That unique interior is exclusive to the '20 Insp Series. It has the black leather trim which mitigates window reflections...very nice.

Now you see if they offered things like THAT in the Bespoke cars, that I might have done… it is a shame that they don’t do a proper bespoke option on these cars, given they’re effectively all built to order (whether the buyer’s or the dealer’s). #spoiledbyAlpina

1 Overall brilliant car.
2 Consistently good exterior color choices.
3 Too limited with regard for interior color options/ schemes.
4 Yes I understand, Lexus does it their way.

WHAT⁉️ For some reason I wasn’t expecting it SO SOON 😍

Don’t forget to tell us all about your initial “Date” — and where’s the picture with the Big Red Bow — hahaha, just kidding.

SO EXCITED for you 🙌 Looks AWESOME of course

CONGRATULATIONS are in order for you


p.s. — I can’t see the wheels…

Congratulations!!!
Yes, the Nori green is sophisticated and charming. I look forward to additional pictures (Particularly side profile showing the wheels) and initial impressions of your car. I’m happy for you.
