So you think that Lexus gave up on the car at the same time they invested in bringing the convertible to market?
The LC is a see what we can do kind of product
For reference, for the Gen 2 NSX only 128 were sold in the US in 2020 and Honda isn’t cancelling that

Guys
I heard the LC500 is not selling too well.Last year something like less than 1,300 was produced
Do you think at some point the LC500 will be discontinued?
This would be so sad but I guess for those who want to get a use one, the use price might drop
over time.
What does everyone think ? At a pace of 1,300, how much update will Lexus put into
future LC500s let along continue to support the platform?

Guys,
My apologies if I was not clear. I love the LC
and think the LC is one of the most drop dead
gorgeous car ever made by Lexus. You always worry
when you see the low production from manufacturers.
I think I haven seen maybe 1 or 2 in my town which
makes them even more exotic. I’m hoping to get one
in a year!

Posting what you "heard"
And the LC was not meant to be a volume seller it's a "halo" car for Lexus

Honestly even if the LC was 200K, I still think
it would beat some of the super cars out there at the
high end.
From the Lexus legendary reliability to
the fact they are not that many made, which
other car can compete? A Ferrari or a Lambo
would obviously be the exotic that come to mind
but If they ever need to go to a shop, you are probably
dropping 3-4K for Tuneups and just yearly maintenance

Yes, I have owned one. and yes, I cross-shopped the California T (test-drove 4 of them) with the LC 500 Convertible I ended up buying.
