Very nice.

But IMO by taking off the sloping roof, the car moves toward the generic.
And with that interior the internal reflections on the windows would be worse than the current tan. A major reason I opted for the black interior.

Could not agree more about the generic look of the convertible. It's like cutting the head off of Mona Lisa.

More here - See how it looks in different colors and interior combos. Looks like Roja Red is being replaced by Circuit Red as an interior color.

^^^^Come on, those folks are in their mid 30s - Cars don't have an age group. If you can afford one and like it, you but it. And Lexus is trying to appeal to young folks.

Sure they'd like to appeal to younger drivers. Or let older ones imagine that they're younger.
But this car is for older, richer men. And yes that is a generalization, stereotype and my opinion.

I think Lexus will gladly sell to whomever has the means to drive away in an LC coupe/convertible. What I'm assuming is meant by that generalization is, statistically, it's likely the vast majority of Lexus LC owners are older men with at least an above average income. If you want to take this potentially touchy statement a step further, you can add "caucasian" and would still likely be correct. But that doesn't mean Lexus builds and sells tthe car for that particular demographic.

Older and richer men owners/buyers. Surely younger guys will pine!
