Toyota really dropped the ball with the final year of the LC500, in every other instance -- GS-F, RC-F, IS500 -- they announced early and planned a "Final Edition" and gave all the flippers a whole year to pretend that this was always their dream car and can we please help them find one for MSRP.
I dunno, even at the MSRP of those 2026 Inspiration Coupes, Toyota's doing okay...

I mean the process was messy, almost as if they didn't intend to cancel the LC500 this year. Nevermind the fact that every Inspiration Edition since the '21 convertible has been a grayscale color. They can pearl or matte these colors all they want, they're still boring.

I did email all the supposed available new coupes on Autotrader. Can't shake it!! Any info on what's available?

Doesn't look like @oceanp is checking hourly.....it's probably already sold as it just listed right before I posted.
